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.

Did David Lynch just walk on set?

you been sniffing lemsips?bampot

is he an albino too>? talk about stelaing my thunder

Ach, c'mon, ye ken it's the name of two dogs or guinea pigs or wee Russian dwarf hamsters.

what are you all arguing about, ye daft radgies.

apparently we are arguing about albinos called mem

and walkers are such shite crisps, so they are.

mem? ach, that is so chav or ned. ye canny name yer bairn such as that. call it chardonnay. that's better.

I do not understand adults mocking other peoples names. I thought only rude children did that?

Welcome to the catty World that is Mumsnet, GTAmom.

Unless it is really bad and made-up like Princess Tiaamii,then I really don't mind.

Haven't had time to read the whole thread, but am assuming the OP has kids named something like Harley-Rae and Kayden?

i dont know who wrote this but i at "all labradors are middle class"

i like Artemis, and as a girls name its v. unusual.

Monty is a cats name though. sorry.

also mumsnet AIBU is for bitching and judging.

I like Araminta, Arabella, Octavia and Pandora. But I am a MASSIVE Surrey-born ponce and proud of it :)

Good for you!

I wouldn´t call those names "poncy" at all.

Would you have preferred it if they were called Montgomery and John/Frank/Ian/something plainer?

I have a friend called Temi and my Mum once wondered whether it was short for Artemis. It isn't, but it would be a nice nickname for it wouldn't it.

Personally would not call any of my DCs anything that rhymed with penis.

@ LeQueen's post - v funny!!

haha LeQueen :o I have to agree that they are dreadful names. Each to their own.

wonder what they would call a third child?

Perception is the key - I think octavia and pandora are naff.

But then as an older first time mum we've managed to call our ds a name that no one else has but was fairly typical of the 80's. So back then might be a normal name, now a middle aged accountant springs to mind.And that's my son.

For me the the most horrible name is India - like I'd call my child dominican republic or something.

I personally like first testament names - not that my ds is called one.Saul is great I think.

My view is that we all like to call people 'chavs' but the main chav callers are the ones who give their kids really naff names.

Yanbu. Two quite shocking names. Poor kids.

And lol at Crufts remark

To The OP.

I think it's quite disgusting that you started a thread like this slating, not a persons name but a name in general. My daughters name is Artemis and I think it is a lovely name. I would.

I don't know what you have called your children but it may be something I find boring, un-imaginative or just plain horribleness.

Each person likes different things and chooses a name for different reasons and for you to come on here slating it, isn't actually that funny and quite upsetting to those who have chosen the name you are slating

We ALL turn our noses up at other peoples names, but it's not our choice.

How about you share your childrens names so we can all have a good laugh at the real imaginative thought process you spent on choosing them??
