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?

Claires are evil personified.
Clares are just lovely.
Richards have issues.
Sarahs are mean.
Pauls are pervy.

Hulababy · 21/12/2011 14:38

I'm a Claire - I am not evil, I promise!!!
Dh is a Richard. He doesn't have that many issues! Xmas Wink No, he is pretty normal, really, lol! I don;t think he has been unfaithful int he 22 years I have known him - he says he hasn't anyway!

Mumcentreplus · 21/12/2011 15:08

Claires are evil I agree

Harrys are generous

Marias are gossips

Andreas are either evil or the kindest person ever dependant upon pronounciation

An-dree-a - lovely

An-dray-a - evil and mouthy yet a wimp when confronted

My Dh's middle name is Dick does that count?? Grin

I would say the last thing Pauls are is odd. Very, very, very dull creatures who tuck their t-shirts into their jeans and then belt them at the waist.
