to suggest that Ben is the most drippy mans name ever?

[TenaPenny]

its just so wet.

Some more: Kyle, Cade, Mitchell, Wayne, dwane , the list goes on. I will consult my Pick Me Up magazine for some more horrors

If you look at threads from ahem 2003. People were rather sweet and helpful.

The first thread I read in 2006 was a great big row about people pissing in supermarket carrier bags.

I think the major difference nowadays is that some people just stick round AIBU determined to have a fight, and there was a lot less of the c&p'ing someone else's posts in order to rip it to shreds.

lol at the use of the word 'nowadays'

Well my Benedict is so far from drippy he already has 3 tattoos and a flick knife.
He is 6. We are expecting great things.

Yes. I think it being smaller made a difference. I love the way you moan about a mate on here and.. Oh hold on. I'll show you

agree with OP, sorry, the worst boy twin names have to be....
'Ben and Jamie'

I do like the name Benedict, it reminds me of that rather lovely explorer bloke who treks through Namibia etc.

What's the matter with the word 'nowadays'?

Oh my god NEW ENTRY for Jamie
Vg

Was that me darth? I didn't say Dan, I said Danny as the actual name. It's what happens when new Mums just cannot imagine their cute ickle bundle as a hulking great bloke with tattoos, piles and a bald patch.

Back in the day I knew someone called Nicki as the actual name. He was a nice enough bloke though.

I was going to just hide the thread after reading.

But then I saw GetOrf making a very reasonable contribution.

So, my only comment is "what GetOrf said" (esp the 'nowadays' bit )

Hey goml. Started a thread to lure someone in

Tristan and Crispin -Bluurgh!

Benedict Allen, Getorf, me and dh went to an evening with him a few years ago. He is fabulous.
Not even vaguely drippy.

That's it! Benedict Allen. I had a wild crush on him when he did that Namibia thing. He was very kind to his camels iirc. I am easily impressed.

Nowadays is an old lady word, it sounds like something an old dear would say when doing her Kriss Kross puzzles.

Reminds me of when a load of American work associates pissed themselves laughing at me when I said 'fortnight'. They don't have that word in america, and thought I sounded all quaint and shakespearian. Bastards.

Can't stand Ben - but love benedict

But the most awful boys name has to be Finlay/Findlay etc etc. Sounds just so poncy. Jamie is pretty urgh too.

Rafferty is up there in the wanky names stakes.

Yes, these days I come away thinking I hope I don't know any of these heartless, Uncompassionate, judgemental twerps in real life! Also, these days people seem to judge you on every thread if you're being unreasonable even if you're asking whether you should serve macaroni with crab to your children that night on a cookery thread...for example.

I don't mind Ben at all - quite like it really.

I'd agree with Alan. Was rather surprised my dd called her two headed lion for her Castle of Doom "Alan".

Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan!

Luka. I rest my case.
None of the rest bother me. DSs names are all mentioned here, but I'm sure you lot are just being ironic.

Nathaniel isn't bad but Nathan is horrible. Something about the ay sound combined with soft consonants.

Lol @ mary - Ben and Jamie are my exH and DH's names!!

Yes. Aibu to save someone's life?
