Name stealing?

[Crownjewels]

my brother's best friend has just named his newborn the same name as my brother's son- who is four years old. Now I know that it is a compliment, but it's the way in which he conducted himself. He didn't consult with my brother, didn't even tell him his baby had been born a week ago. My brother heard from a friend. When he rang to congratulate him, and asked the baby's name, he commented it was nice that he had named him after his son: but his best friend had the audacity to say he didn't like the name at all, it was his girlfriend's choice, also he wasn't aware that my brother's son had that name, although he had an inkling! He said they consulted baby name books, etc. My brother is understandably upset and feels betrayed. We, as a family, feel my brother's pain. But are we being terribly unreasonable, or are we justified in our emotions?

What's with the "ask a solicitor"? Do you spend a lot of time dealing with legal types?

AIBU to think that this is the OP?

This has got to be Gabbylogon after something has gone wrong with his programming.

It's the same random combination of misdirected insults and non-sequiturs.

But with added bile!

Have what? Ishoooooos?

Yes, we are definitely the have nots when it comes to ishoos on this thread!

Wow. This thread has taken a strange turn.

I named my kid after a cat. HTH.

What the fucking fuck is a ninny????

Is that the kids name?

I'm a bit confused OP, how was your brothers best friends partner able to travel so late in her pregnancy?

Isn't it a scottish insult rather than something Boris Johnson would say?

I am a solicitor.

Now what appears to be the problem?

My rates are very reasonable. Particularly for change of name deeds if the pain is just too much to bear.

WTAF?

Hooray! I've been crying this morning about something and feeling reet fed up, and here we are, a lovely totally mental thread for me to read.

Maryz I'm so saving these for future use!

"who have no jobs or lives who belittle others like a pack of hyenas are the worthless shit of this earth and the spawn of the devil."

Priceless.

Panda, as the resident solicitor I would like to enquire whether it is in fact acceptable to call someone a 'dyslexic cow' as CrownJewels suggests.

Ah I thought there was nothing wrong with being a dyslexic cow.

Isn't ninny the diminutive form of nincompoop?

Gosh, is this what drinking's like? I'm teetotal and have always wondered. Because the OP is speaking a language I'm apparently fluent in but somehow the meaning is obscured.

I quite like it.

[strokes chin wisely]

Well that depends on a number of factors.

Is the recipient of the insult in fact of a bovine nature?
And is she dyslexic?

If the answer to these questions is yes then the OP is simply stating a fact.

However, if the answer to either question is no, then the OP is on very shaky ground indeed and can obviously be sued for millions which we can all share between us, move out of our chav-houses and start a hyena commune somewhere nice.

[begins to draft special pleadings]

Ooh Nincompoop. Now there's a word you don't here very often. Very Bullingdon Club.

What an absolutely delightful thread....tis making me laugh, a lot! I wonder if the insults are going to move from drugs, whores and chavs, ths thread could benefit from a different set of insults :)
