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. 🤣

Graham is 15 years old but he sports the name of a much older man. His peers tease him. They also tease him for his hair cut, his shoes and the way he pronounces some words. Graham is at boarding school. When Graham gets out, he's going to see the world and never call his parents again.

Eloise ?

DedalusBloom · 19/11/2021 08:49

Eloise was born Louise but changed it when she went to uni to appear more sophisticated. In public she carries books of French poetry and smokes Gauloise. She has a boyfriend called Raoul who she was only attracted to because of his name.
She drinks Pernod in the pub which she secretly hates and buys a sneaky kebab on the way home, always binning the wrapper before she gets in to hide the evidence.

BlueFlavour · 19/11/2021 10:06

Lucy doesn’t realise how amazing she is. She’s a nurse in Bristol, married to a bit of an arrogant oaf, with two children both on the autistic spectrum.
Her wider family are hopeless and look to her for all the things.
The room seems duller when she’s not in it. She loves her job, and is an excellent cook. She loves watching crap telly and her favourite time of year is spring.

Samantha?

Shasha17 · 19/11/2021 10:20

James is early 20s, rather overweight, but has a nice face. He speaks with a posh accent, has a slightly sleazy vibe although you feel sure he's actually harmless and ultimately a rather good person, so you don't really understand WHY he gives off this vibe. He has a boring but well-paid job with good prospects. He always wears shirts and jeans or chinos which do nothing to hide his rather large belly. He's pleasant to talk to, yet you can't shake the feeling hes a bit of a tit, although again, you're not sure why. It MIGHT be because he's a proud tory. It's probably that. His parents have a huge house and are wealthy and lovely and comfortingly boring.

Cross post!

Samantha is early thirties. She goes by Sam or Sammy. She takes a lot of selfies on her nights out with the girls. She calls everyone 'babe' or 'hun'. She lives in the same town she was born and she married her high school boyfriend. She doesn't like her husband very much, they aren't a great match, but she tolerates him because he's a good enough guy, she likes his family and they help with the kids. She works in a call center, and has decided she will probably cheat on him a bit in the future with someone she fancies from work - a guy called Liam, who has tattoos and a nose ring and also takes a lot of selfies.

Isiah is a serious guy with a lot of secrets. Everyone wants to know this dark horse and thinks there must be a wild life behind the quiet brown eyes, but really he just likes to go home and watch netflix and surf the Web.

Tristan is in his late 30s, well spoken, well read, well travelled. Has a look and dress sense similar to Jeremy Irons in Brideshead Revisited but with floppier hair. Studied Classics, "collects" degrees, latest studies are around political conflict studied at QUB. Moved to Belfast to be thought of as a bit edgy. Flirtatious, but will eventually marry the daughter of old family friends who runs an art gallery and is "well connected".

Michelle is tall, skinny with brown hair and blue eyes. She is smiley and chatty, can come across as a bit gobby at times but she's a good listener really. People underestimate her.

Wait, no one did Lysander which was missed out earlier! I know one and I’m looking forward to seeing if it matches up!!

PeeAche · 19/11/2021 11:11

Lysander is a small and narrow framed boy that often forgets to raise his hand in class. Partial to Roald Dahl and with a reading age of 12 (at just 7 years old), he can rarely find anyone on the playground that is willing to act out “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” with him at playtime.
Lysander has two older sisters named Cecilia and Ophelia who are both very loud and gregarious. Their parents, both English Literature graduates, plan on having 3 more children. They cannot remember when Lysander took his first steps or said his first word. The family holiday in Burgundy.

Flora is 30 and hates everything to do with flowers. She loathes her name and longs to be called something more practical sounding like Martha or Sarah.
She lives in Bridlington with her partner Susannah. They have a cocker spaniel called Artemis and restore vintage cars in their spare time.

I don't think we have done Willow.

Willow is in her late 40s, slim as her name would suggest but with a round face that's starting to go a bit jowly. She wears pink lipstick and blue eyeshadow and her rather limp hair is dyed platinum blonde. She's in a longstanding on/off relationship with Oliver, a 50 year old car salesman. Willow herself doesn't work as she has various niggling health-conditions, but in her younger days she was a secretary. She enjoys holidays in the sun, movies and psychological dramas on TV, and she's an inveterate social media user. Her hidden talent is quizzing - she's absolutely brilliant and has appeared on a couple of minor quiz shows. She hopes to go on Mastermind but can't find a specialist subject they haven't already done.

Shona

ArblemarchTFruitbat · 19/11/2021 18:39

Shona is a down-to-earth gal of 45 from Glasgow. She's got thick, straight blonde hair and well-defined features. She lives in her favourite jeans and jumpers. She doesn't really bother with make-up but she doesn't need it - her looks suit being fresh-faced and healthy. She works in IT - her logical mind is ideal for the job - and has a gorgeous flat which she bought at a bargain price over 20 years ago. It's done out in a minimalist style, and it's a source of friction when Clair, her girlfriend, stays over because scatty, spontaneous Clair is chronically messy - but generally, Shona and Clair complement each other well.
