To be grateful to have discovered the mumsnet name board before having my children and giving them “stripper names”

[Krystalmethany]

Well excluding my first child who is male so thankfully has a very generic boy name.

But the names I liked for my girls thank god I mumsnet searched them first 😂 there are some brutal opinions on here that I suppose people are thinking irl but too polite to say to your face.

Mumsnet saved my kids from having stripper names or methhead trailer trash names

The Australian politician Candy Broad doesn't appear to have been held back by her name.

Torin is absolutely not an Irish name.

Tbh... if I see a highly respected person, like a Judge, Doctor or eminent Scientist with a name like Krrystalle or Caydenne etc... I would judge them as a person who has got there under their perseverance etc instead of being given every advantage in childhood. So admiration really.

Ditto. The example upthread was pitiful. Who rules out a temp on the basis of her name without looking at her CV? An out and out snob, that's who.

I know this is a lighthearted thread so perhaps you’re joking.

As a ‘senior person’ (with a Board colleague with a similar name to one you listed) I couldn’t care less what a colleague’s name is and if I learned a member of my staff was screening temps based on their name I’d expect them to receive at least a written warning. This kind of silliness is likely to exclude people from other nationalities and cultures, and I’d ‘cringe’ the thought of a front of house who harboured these prejudices.

This has changed my life. I was literally crying. 'What was the taxi drivers name?' Killed me 😂

Sorry, but I don’t think it’s Irish. Perhaps Norse originally? Torfinn/Torfind was occasionally found in medieval Ireland but it was a Viking name. Torin doesn’t mean chief in Irish and it breaks Irish language spelling rules.

The baby name sites can be very misleading sometimes.

This thread is the reason we need a laugh emoji

Mumsnet can be litmus test, but is certainly most definitely not representative of general real world views.

behindthename.com agrees it is unlikely to be Irish and shows some use in England and Wales and America but not Ireland.

I have been a stripper for 20 odd years and don't think I came across any name labelled as a 'stripper name' in this thread! I haven't read the whole thing yet, mind.

I take it back, I did know a Lola! Only one,mind. Most of them had surprisingly 'normal' names me included.

I also can think of at least two whose real names were quite exotic, think Athena, Sienna-who went by names such as Sarah and Jess!

To be fair the Lumineers song Ophelia was a huge hit too. According to Wikipedia it exceeded 1.3 billion streams on Spotify and 245 million streams on YouTube. So far Taylors Swifts song has 800 million. No doubt it will surpass the other one as it is still new but there are many people who will always think of the Lumineers song.

I was more thinking Shakespeare than Taylor tbf 😂

I didn't recognise the sound that came out of me after reading the suggestions 🤣🤣 God I love funny people so much - Jimabella's amazing.

@Stripperyone I adore your username, an inspiring play on words 😁👏.

Check out the Key & Peele Mr Garvey Subscribe teacher sketch. It always makes me laugh.

That made me chuckle 🤭

I had the privilege of meeting Professor Christl Donnelly once. I wonder if her mum would have been given a pasting on MN had it existed when she was born?

Choose a Scottish surname and use it as a first name. Mckenzie, Cameron, Murray, Ross, Fraser etc

Martin Money man Lewis' daughter is called Sapphire and i doubt she will ever be stripping. If she does I'm sure her money will be wisely invested and her credit card bill always paid IN FULL 👌
