Are people surprised that some names are somehow more acceptable than others? They don't realise that a girl introduced as Lexii-Candii will get a Hmm while a Sophie Catherine won't?
Bit naive, at best. You might not like it, but its reality.

I don't know any Sophie's or Catherine's my dcs ages. I know quite a few Lexis they go to school with Hugh's ( how about that) my nan comments the way people are about names ( on threads like these) is how they were when she named her dd Tracey. What I'm trying to say there is so many Lexis ect un mumsnet names that it won't be eyebrow raising in 20 years when there looking for jobs!

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 23/10/2012 00:12

Sophie Catherine would probably get a Hmm from me. It befuddles me that people deliberately name their child something that they know so many other children of their generation will be named

It's Jones-yello every time for me.

Ramsbottom-ecru here.

GoSakuramachi · 23/10/2012 00:15

Maybe, but Lexxii-Candii won't thank you for it.

Inneedofbrandy · 23/10/2012 00:18

How do you know, didn't realise a time travel machine had been invented yet!

MrsRhettButler · 23/10/2012 00:18

I've had people in rl be snooty about my dd's names, (well, dd1's anyway) some horrible bag told me to nickname her Annie when she starts school to 'make it easier for her' Hmm dd1 absolutely loves her name and she's very clever (top of her class) and she has no idea that she's banned from doing well in life beacause Mumsnet says her name is 'chavvy,' its Hebrew actually, if anyone cares.

BOF of course you are allowed your opinion as I am allowed mine its just the experience of these threads really get my goat because people can get really rude and what usual said is true, its attitudes that need changing not names.

MildredIsMyAlterEgo · 23/10/2012 00:19

I think it's awful. Mind you I am an old fogey, I can't be doing with all these current popular names - Jayden, Brayden, Kayden, Kai etc.

Only my opinion as asked by the OP, flame at will Smile

ExitPursuedByAaaaaarGhoul · 23/10/2012 00:19

Call your child whatever you want.

Inneedofbrandy · 23/10/2012 00:20

I am tempted to put my dcs' names up sometimes. In RL dd gets told how pretty her name is ect and have never had nothing snooty said. I wonder what MN would say hmm

ExitPursuedByAaaaaarGhoul · 23/10/2012 00:23

But why ask if you don't want opinions? Names mark people out. People will judge. Tis they way of the world.

Inneedofbrandy · 23/10/2012 00:24

Make sure Catherine is spelt with a c not a k after all Katherine would be chavvy here being a k name!

Mrs r sure your dc name is lovely I love Hebrew names. I have a friend called Effron which means singing bird in Hebrew and I think it's lovely.

MrsRhettButler · 23/10/2012 00:24

Agree with brandy too, sooo many kids have 'different' names now its not going to be such an issue in 20 years time.

Ptolemy's ok though isn't it? Oh yahhh Ptolemy would defo be a high court judge Hmm

Ptolemy would probably 'rebel' and do loads of coke... (Honestly no disrespect to any Ptolemys out there, its a lovely name I'm just making a point)

MrsRhettButler · 23/10/2012 00:28

I've outed my dds name before brandy, I try not to do it too much because I've only ever met one other child with her name and that little girl was named after her!

I'm sure your dds name is beautiful, not many names are actually ugly imo.

airedailleurs · 23/10/2012 00:28

I think the OP is joking...

Inneedofbrandy · 23/10/2012 00:28

Ah but cleopatra would be chavvy ESP with a K LOL

MrsRhettButler · 23/10/2012 00:33

She could well be Aire, I've had a little too much brandy so I'm in the mood to argue anyway Grin

I just wish people could be opinionated without being rude on these threads that's all.

MrsRhettButler · 23/10/2012 00:37

My dd2 has a 'k' name. It would have been a 'T' name if I'd won the arguement with xp but hey ho, I was actually giving birth when the name was decided (he took advantage) so there we are, poor 'k' named dd2...

Inneedofbrandy · 23/10/2012 00:40

Is it kiayna? I'm guessing since you said the old bag said nickname her Annie,

ZombiesAreClammyDodgers · 23/10/2012 00:42

I like it. But with Mackenzie. And Blue. And Blue as the middle name.

MrsRhettButler · 23/10/2012 00:48

No brandy, nickname was suggested by old bag for dd1 who's name begins 'An', dd2 is a Kaiya. Not my choice although its grown on me, (and suits her) I wanted Tyra. Dying to know your dc names btw!

Bessie123 · 23/10/2012 00:48

I'm so sorry not to have read the whole thread; it's quite long by now. Has anyone told you that the name 'Mackenzie' means 'son of Keith'? I'm not sure it's an appropriate name for anyone unless they are a little boy with a dad called Keith...

MrsRhettButler · 23/10/2012 00:54

Now that ^^ is the type of comment that is helpful on a baby name thread. name meanings are important imo.
