I hate being bitchy over names but this has to be a joke, it's too good not to share!

A friend of a friend is a midwife and over the weekend whilst she was working, apparently a family named their little girl VaGina.

Z-Thirteen however is a true story

Surely that has got to beat the "my cousin's sister's dog's aunt's friend is a teacher and once taught a La-a and a SOL which stands for "stadium of light"" stories.

You're making massive leaps, fideline.

Iamnotloobrushphobic · 18/01/2016 12:24

If there is an ounce of truth to this I re Jon she is actually called Virginia and people just can't speak properly.

fidel1ne · 18/01/2016 12:26

I thought I was just being vocally suspicious Walter.

Gunting · 18/01/2016 12:27

The migrant comment is silly and irresponsible.

This is just clearly a misunderstanding but on opening the thread I did think 'yet another made up story', so I can see the frustration.

There is really no need to compare OP to Britain first though, come on. Hmm

Waltermittythesequel · 18/01/2016 12:30

OP didn't mention migrants, you did.

SuperFlyHigh · 18/01/2016 12:35

I used to work with a man called anil (anal) and he always preferred Neil....

I also knew someone who called her DD Uretha and they thought it was lovely.... Hmm

SuperFlyHigh · 18/01/2016 12:36

A close friend of mine nicknamed her DD LaLa but out of the teletubbies (LaaLaa?!) no innuendo meant at all.

fidel1ne · 18/01/2016 12:38

OP didn't mention migrants, you did.

Yes I know I did Hmm

Because the story in the OP is identical to the one featuring the name 'Chlamydia' but possibly the name is even stupider.

The Chlamydia story vigorously circulated by Britain First, that is. The racist one.

So I Hmm ed at the similarity.

I also allowed that it was possible that OP was a gullible dupe.

Clear now?

Waltermittythesequel · 18/01/2016 12:45

Oh, yes. Something is abundantly clear.

But I don't want my post deleted.

fidel1ne · 18/01/2016 12:47

Wow. I didn't know dubious apocrypha was so popular.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 18/01/2016 12:51

Haven't seen the Britains First thing, so wouldn't even make the link. Perhaps you need to choose your friends more wisely, if that's the sort of stuff they share online? Hmm

fidel1ne · 18/01/2016 12:53

It was shared on here Paul, although I gather it swept FB too Smile

fidel1ne · 18/01/2016 12:54

Or should I saw ranted about on here. Anyway, that's where I saw it.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 18/01/2016 12:55

Glad I didn't see it. Britain First is the lowest of the low. Although I do like Britain Furst.

ButtonMoon88 · 18/01/2016 12:59

This is fucking ridiculous I really despise the fact that you are grouping me with EDL and Britain First, that's completely out of line and utterly offensive. I do bloody wish I hadn't bothered.

OP posts:
fidel1ne · 18/01/2016 13:07

But I'm not Button. I'm just pointing the similarity between the two stories.

You've already said you have realised you were gullible. I'm just answering walter's posts to me.

I sympathise, I remember repeating a joke with associations I wasn't aware of once.

SnuffleGruntSnorter · 18/01/2016 13:08

OP, your post made me smile a bit even if I did think it was just a silly urban legend.

I honestly can't believe people are comparing you to racist groups!

SnuffleGruntSnorter · 18/01/2016 13:12

And criticising your spelling mistake on an unrelated topic is just bad manners.

ButtonMoon88 · 18/01/2016 13:17

I don't mind I should have realised wandering and wondering before I clicked post!

Anyway this gullible fool is off to work, bye!

Different situation, IMO.

There's no association here unless you want to find one which says more about you than the OP, tbh.

SparklyTinselTits · 18/01/2016 13:38

Cavaradossi my nan's friends name is pronounce "honour-reha"....so sounds like gonnorreha, her husband and friend call her reha

TheSecondViola · 18/01/2016 13:47

It's actually an easy association to make, you don't have to go looking for it. The "calling your child a stupid name" meme usually has the parents as foreigners or an ethnic minority and implies they are too stupid or just too plain foreign to know that the joke is on them.
It's nothing new.

BertrandRussell · 18/01/2016 13:48

Urban myth.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 18/01/2016 13:55

The "calling your child a stupid name" meme usually has the parents as foreigners or an ethnic minority and implies they are too stupid or just too plain foreign to know that the joke is on them.

Does it? In my experience, when party A decides that party B has given their child a stupid name, it usually means that party A thinks party B is stupid/ignorant/pretentious/chavvy. On MN (I'm not on Facebook so don't know what goes round there) I've never seen any implication that foreigners or ethnic minority parents are more likely to pick a stupid name. Quite the contrary, actually.
