Poster says a name, next post describes what they picture when they hear this name.

Looks, personality, age etc. Please don't be offended. I love it when my name comes up hilarious. 🤣

Snap! I'll do Tim.
Tim is a 43, year old accountant, plump and bespectacled and quietly spoken. He's socially awkward and tries a bit too hard. He has a secret crush on Rowena in the office, Rowena has no idea and thinks his name is Jim.

Jim is a very overweight 45 year old. He manages the accounting software for a large multinational. He doesn’t like his job and he doesn’t like the commute. He doesn’t like his wife. Every night he watches Wet and Messy videos on Pornhub but he doesn’t even feel turned on by them anymore. He looks forward to the annual Monopoly promotion at McDonalds.

Florence.

Shasha17 · 18/11/2021 22:49

Florence is very well spoken, young, and pretty. Her dad works in some kind of posh job that means she travelled around a lot (internationally) as a child and as a result is fluent in Spanish, French and Mandarin due to the various locals nannies employed to take care of her over the years. Her family own a beautiful, large country house which her mum rents out for weddings during the summer, not because she needs the money but because she enjoys the hustle and bustle of lots of people in the place and it keeps her busy.

Despite her family money and exciting childhood, Florence is a little scatty. She rents a flat at the moment as she's studying at Royal Holloway, but returns home often. Her friends are always surprised that she lives as though she doesn't hage lots of money - she likes shopping in charity shops and takes the bus everywhere, which she always misses.

Clementine

youvegottenminuteslynn · 18/11/2021 22:52

Clementine lives in a house where she has her own en suite and the fridge has naice ham in. She's independent and enjoys learning. Her parents encourage her to be both academic and creative. She makes friends easily and is confident but not cocky. Reliable, sensible and privileged but hopefully aware of that privilege.

How about Holly...

Quinque · 18/11/2021 23:16

Holly has curly brown hair and rather goofy teeth. Her birthday is on Christmas day and she adores Christmas. She wears Christmas tree earrings with flashing lights for the whole of December. She's a domicilliary carer and her service users adore her. She's not allowed to wear a Christmas jumper for work but no one objects to her reindeer antlers.

Nicholas

DedalusBloom · 19/11/2021 05:18

Nicholas is a patrician looking academic with pale grey eyes who cycles at the weekends. His blond hair is thinning and he favours a slightly tweedy look but under the mustard cords he has the smooth waxed legs of a teenage girl.

Lilith

BettyMacDonald · 19/11/2021 06:07

Lilith is the Head of Nursing for surgery at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, she has thick dark curly hair, rather beady green eyes and rarely smiles. She is not especially liked in her job but she’s efficient and gets things done.

Lilith lives in a beautifully furnished light and airy flat with her cat Florence, who’s clearly named after Miss Nightingale.

Staff at the hospital would be very surprised to learn at at the weekend, when she’s not on call, Lilith likes nothing more than dressing up in PVC and attending BDSM parties.

Alice

CatonMat · 19/11/2021 06:18

Alice is a slightly plump, pleasant and unassuming woman in her 20s.
She works in the civil service, and has a good pension plan.

She rides her bike to work, and always makes sure she wears reflective clothing when doing so.

When she was 19, she was in an abusive relationship, and is currently exploring her attraction to women, by meeting them for coffee, and scheduling her flexi time so she can have afternoons of unbridled passion on her floral bedspread.

Alan is 59 and lives with his wife Sue. His 2 children have left home. Alan works mainly from home now in an office based job but he is very good at DIY and will often help out his elderly neighbour with any jobs which need doing.
Alan always puts out his neighbour's bin out too.
He is quite slim and his hair is thinning.
He can usually be seen in a sweater and casual trousers.
At Christmas he loves to wear his outlandish Christmas sweater whilst carving the turkey. Both his kids will be at his house for Christmas and Alan loves Christmas. He always makes sure the fairy lights are working before Sue decorates the tree.

Harriet keeps chickens in the garden of her Victorian terrace in Chiswick which infuriates her neighbours. She wants a goat as well but is mindful that the people at number 23 would have rather a lot to say about it.
She keeps meaning to go dairy free but can't shake her addiction to mature cheddar.

Laurence is a teenage boy just finishing his growth spurt. His legs are so skinny they barely look as if they'll support his weight and his mum despairs of ever getting him out of tracksuit bottoms. He's the only one in the dungeons and dragons club at school, set up by him two years ago. One day he'd like to be an architect. He has gingery very straight hair that he has been growing or since he was 9. It's now waist length.
In a couple of years he'll surprise everyone by growing into his looks and unexpectedly becoming a Ralph Lauren model while studying at uni. No-one is more surprised than him.

Elizabeth changed her name from Donna about 10 years ago and gets cheesed off when people forget and still call her Donna. She’s petit and nervy, divorced in her late forties, she struggles with a feeling of ennui and feels guilty towards her grown up children who take advantage of her.
She secretly smokes silk cult ultra in her shed, and has a penchant for garden gnomes.

Elizabeth is extremely good at macrame and foists wall hangings on friends and family at every opportunity. She has a cat called Hetherington who has a very delicate constitution. Elizabeth has a violent attraction to the man who runs her local haberdashery shop ( which is how her passion for macrame came about), but sadly he doesn't seem to know she exists.
