Right, I am almost certainly going to regret this but I couldn't just sit back and let this one go.
inferring that anyone who names their child Jayden is, ipso facto, going to require SS and a family law barrister.
That is certainly NOT what I said.
Nor is it what I implied, inferred or imputed.
I said, way, way back in the mists of time that the 'problem' with this name was that it was not perceived as middle class - and if op didn't care, go for it.
Cue outraged explosions about how I wanted everyone to be middle class. Rubbish. I explained it was a name with connotations. That it was associated - by some - with membership of a low socio-economic group.
That connotation was born out for me by my lived experience of 15 years of care proceedings - mainly spent trying as hard as I could to get fairness into proceedings heavily loaded against the poor and disabled - where certain names crop up with greater frequency than others.
this reflects the fact that care proceedings are 90% initiated against people from vulnerable and poverty stricken backgrounds. So sorry, but you are not going to get 100s of Cressidas and Harrys in care proceedings. If I am wrong, show me your statistics.
commenting on social inequality and - as I have done - wishing things were different, that life wasn't unfair is so far removed from what you accuse me of doing is really bizarre, baffling and bewildering.
But it is also making me angry now.
By all means, attack me for what I do or say that is worthy of attack. But to make up crap and use it as a stick with which to beat me is just pathetic.
