To think that a woman the other day had given her DC incredibly poncy names?

[onmyhols]

Artemis and Montgomery.

One or the other but both together was a bit much I thought.

Apologies if you are an MNer and you read this.

The mother of the aforementioned DC I mean

did she shorten them to Monty and Arty?

Each to their own,most people would say my children's names are poncey.I couldn't give a toss.

no. you can think what you like.

So what? Why be a bitch about it?

These threads never end well for the OP.

No YANBU.
But what of it?

I don't like loads of names, but that doesn't make me unreasonable.

If you pointed at laughed at Artemis and Montgomery for their names, that would BU

Tell us what your kids are called ? Just for a larf like ?

Oooh, I quite like Artemis...

Thing about Artemis is that kids will probably shorten it to Arty and then the inevitable nickname Farty Arty will be the result. An Eleanor can become Ellie, then Smelly Ellie.
Naming kids is a minefield!!

deakell - threads like this are the equivalent of pointing and laughing really.

Hence the inevitable hostility.

yanbu, they are awful

arty and monty quite cute

YANBU. They are poncey names. But you're gonna get flamed....

Quite nice names. You are quite rude.

A friend of mine's daughter is called Artemis, they are greek and it is pretty normal there.
She is called Mitzy for short.

I don't really see the point of a lot of these AIBU threads. No you aren't, you are just having an opinion, does it really warrant starting a thread over??

Monty is ok but Artemis is a bit flowery.
It's just both of them together I thought was a bit much.

You are right though, everyone likes different names.

Hang on, people mock chavvy names on mn all the time without getting flamed.

YANBU. These are ridiculous names, nay dogs' names, and you should feel free to giggle to yourself.

I like these names.

regardless of names chosen it you bitching on mn and making yourself look flaky

DameGladys, good point.

Dear OP, yes you are BU - get over your vitriolic self

Awful names really ..you can only criticise chav names on MN though

NW20-there are a lot of subjects that probably don't warrant a thread but isn't that what MN is for? Chatting? Talking about things?
