Lighthearted ish - so it seems netmums have done a survey, and the netmums have nicely informed me that the name I so carefully chose for my wonderful 7 month old DD is a 'naughty' name! It's a gorgeous name too, AIBU to be grrrrrrring about this?!

Really. I've seen these lists everywhere for weeks.

Jacob went from naughty to nice... (or was it the other way round?)

50ShadesofNope · 02/12/2014 11:32

Oh dear. My name is on there. I guess it's a sack of coal for me Grin

My daughters name is number three on the naughty list. I wasn't even aware Eleanor was a very popular name so they must be very naughty to have made such an impact

Oh dear ds is on the naughty list, better save the list so I can pick from the nice one when dts are born and at least il only have one naughty one then!

superbagpuss · 02/12/2014 11:43

both myself and DC are on the nice list

DH doesn't appear at all - how do I tell if he is good or bad?

InfinitySeven · 02/12/2014 11:46

Charl I don't think you need to worry about extra-naughty behaviour, it's all regional.

I know loads of Eleanors in London and Birmingham, hardly any anywhere else.

This list is stupid. Neither me nor DP are on it.

so if you're called Jacob then you're nice but the second you shorten it to Jake you become naughty? Interesting.

Well.... given the number of threads I've seen on MN about "how come it's always the naughty kids in my child's class who come home plastered in stickers??" I wouldn't take this awfully seriously. It's often kids with more behavioral issues who get a lot of stickers, because teachers give stickers as a way of reinforcing very small improvements in behavior etc. (I'm not commenting on whether this is good or bad--just that this is really common.)

Why did I even waste five minutes on that! FFS Angry - I would expect to see that sort of thing on the Fail with 7 billion comments about bringing back corporal punishment for all Jakes. Silliness in extremis and all that pink too - Grin

So Jacob went from naughty to nice the year DS was born. They've obviously never met the little monkey.
