What does everyone think of it?
I like the name but never met anyone with it.

Absolutely horrible name, most usually found in the local sink estate, sorry

Sink estate?

What the actual fuck is wrong with you people? Seriously?

You assume everything about someone based on a name?

How familiar are you with sink estates love?

Very thanks, love. I have given my opinion, it is an awful name and as said before, associated with the sink estate residents, where once pin a time I resided before clawing myself out of said environment :)

Pretty much the first time I've ever agreed with a personal attack on here.

DancesWithWoolEnPointe · 30/08/2013 20:49

Excellent Friday night entertainment breaking loose I see!

If you want my opinion, although why I don't know, I like the name Tyler.

Kikibee · 30/08/2013 20:49

Sorry didn't read the whole thread, was just asked my opinion and gave my answer, however, calling me names just shows your iq level

Let's face it, 99% of Americans are trailor trash chavs according to MN (sigh).
About 85% of Brits fit the Chav category, too, mind. In the minds of some, anyway.

HamletsSister · 30/08/2013 21:01

Not prejudiced. Only ever met one Tyler. Absolutely charming, cheeky, naughty boy. Loved teaching him. What I did NOT say was fucking nightmare, common or anything else. I responded, as others have, based on my experience. (FWIW naughty is endearing, NOT a problem)

My response was tongue in cheek, in the full knowledge it would create the usual ranting, silly responses.

No longer teaching in London. Am lucky enough to teach Tyler and his mates in NW Scotland.

Although I do think, given that people DO judge based on names, it is something worth considering. I had always wanted an Edmund (nn Ned) until I moved here - bit like calling him Chav in England!

Tyler was my first choice for DS now 19. Pretty much as an homage to Wat Tyler, leader of the Peasants Revolt. I remember I was also very keen on Dylan, being a big fan of Bob. DP talked me out of both in favour of one of those slightly bland safe names that a member of the Royal family might use. I am still quite regretful.

But Hamlet is people judging on name a given? I don't. Lots of other people on this thread don't.

HamletsSister · 30/08/2013 21:10

Naughty does not mean EVIL. It means a bit of a pain but made me smile. At least that is what it means in my staff room. Fucking nightmare....now that's a whole other thread.

And I have been on these threads for years MrsDV and knew exactly what the responses would be.

Also, if someone asks for an opinion (and we were asked) how is it rude to offer one?

HamletsSister · 30/08/2013 21:11

Nor do I. 'twas tongue in cheek. If I did judge on names then my worst ever nightmare was a Matthew, closely followed by a Melissa. So M names would be out ( I am an M myself!)

usualsuspect · 30/08/2013 21:26

I see the twats are out in force on this thread.

Alisvolatpropiis · 30/08/2013 21:27

I've always imagined Tyler's to be quite clean cut and "preppy" (think it was first introduced to me by American tv).

There are far worse names...Cecil anyone?
