I have a lovely friend called Pam, so to me all Pams are lovely. I was really taken aback recently when I met a Pam who was really horrible. What names have you got stereotypical views of?

With a little bit of NPD thrown in.

2BoysTooLoud · 20/12/2011 17:30

Martins are bastards
Jamies sleep around
Johns are lovely so are Alans
Pippas are cows
Christine would steal your bf if given the chance

Nigel is such a sad name. Nigels are perpetually disappointed.

Heathers are usually very duplicitous, Claire's are often cruel. Helen's seem to be kind, and Chris of either sex horrid.

Nigel has never gotten over Sarah in 5e.

He stalks her on FB behind his DW's back

ViviPrudolf · 20/12/2011 17:35

Arf @ moomin - I'm sure there are some people who know me IRL who would concur with you!

Joe are always blond and dopey
Mikeys are lovely
Johns are big heads
Lisas are spiteful, nasty, lots of issues
Craigs are handsome
Selenes are bubbly
Lukes are dopey
Claires are sweet
Janets are bitchy

Of course its just silly

IneedAChristmasNickname · 20/12/2011 17:36

I've never 'had' a Richard, am I missing out?

nogrammerwhatssoever · 20/12/2011 17:37

no offense but melissa s are bitchy the once ive met anyway
laura's are no it all and sarcasic
fionas are moody

SilveryMoon · 20/12/2011 17:37

I have trouble with Sarahs.
When I first meet them, they all seem very nice at first, but they need to be watched with a close eye, not to be trusted and are out for themselves.
Having said that, I do know one sarah (out of about 7) who is the opposite of that and is lovely.

2BoysTooLoud · 20/12/2011 17:37

There are parts of Richard I miss..
