Persephone, Beatrix or.....?

[TheCag]

We’ve just found out dc3 is a girl and obviously all I can think about now is names.

We have two boys called Rufus and Felix, I don’t mind names not ‘matching’ but it gives you an idea of what we like. I prefer names that aren’t too popular. If dc3 had been another boy I’d have been pushing for the name Magnus.

I like Beatrix and Diana, dh likes Persephone, Jemima and Penelope. We’ve got a few months to go but I don’t feel like anything is really clicking for me yet so very open to suggestions. (Also I may still be in shock that it’s a girl!)

It’s unkind to say names are snobby, wannabe posh, pretentious, try hard etc, but people say this all the time on here.

The OP in question started another thread asking posters what they thought of the name, many made the same comment as me so she chose something else. Clear now?

You aren't stupid. You know what the connotations of chav are.

She chose something else? And?

So you basically want to carry on that argument on this thread?

So much for this being about other people.

Fwiw I know exactly what ‘chav’ means, I’ve no idea what its connotations are to you.

@meetthewildes what beautiful names.

You know what it means but still tell a poster who suggests a name that you think it's a chav name?
Why would you do that?

I answered that question at the time Duck.

That’s enough, you’re thrashing someone else’s thread.

I love Jemima and nn Jem.

How about Sylvie, Josie, Sadie or Saskia?

Persephone is awful, sorry.

No you didn't. All you did was repeatedly say what chav meant.

If you want to keep going on at me I suggest you do so by PM (not that I’ll read it).

Hijacking someone else’s thread for a personal grievance is not on.

That’s all I have to say to you.

No I shan't be Pming you.

As I have said I have no grievance with you. I just don't think it was ok to say a name was a chav name. Even stranger that you won't stand by the fact you did.

Sorry OP I will leave your thread now.

I have always, consistently stood by it. See ya.

No you haven't. You have never explained why you felt the need to say "Lexie" was a chav name, but only the meaning of what chav means. Which isn't really helpful as everyone knows what it refers too.

Unkind and unnecessary.

I’m really sorry that this weird stalking has ruined your thread OP

TatianaLarina - ummmm it’s you that has had arguments with 2 different people on this thread, and had an abusive post deleted. I’ve stayed away until now, why don’t you?

Seriously? I defended the OP when she felt posters including you were attacking her. Indeed posters commented how odd your posts were. I have said nothing on this thread even remotely abusive. If you were offended by something I said you could have had the courage to commenf rather than report.

Then Duck who has her own personal beef decided to hop on try and continue some beef from another thread.

Between the two of you you have totally ruined this poor OP’s thread. You in particular have been horribly rude to her.

Love Hebe and Phaedra?

I like Beatrice too.

Still going eh? sighs

You are of course OPs wonderful knight in shiny armour. It’s a good job she picked a posh name to discuss, doesn’t sound like you’d be quite so saintly if it was a ‘chavvy’ name.

You clearly save your venom for those you consider beneath you. ‘Phillistines’, was it?

Yuck.

I’m off - sorry OP!

sorry OP!

No you’re not. You just want someone to have a go at.
