OK, here's my 2pence worth again but look I will promise not to virtually shove a vanilla slice in anyone's face this time.
Here is the way this is.
Some MNers are not offended if they see their own DC's name on a list of most horrid or soon to become rancid names.

Such is the way with all things. I don't think either response is right or wrong, it's just the way of the world. Now of course you can tell the mners who are a hurt to get a life or a grip or whatever, but I doubt they will. For some, having their chosen name, and the name that their dearly beloved child will carry with them for the rest of their life as "ghastly" is not going to be a nice thing to read.
So that is how it is.
What I fail to understand is why these threads have to happen.
So you hate a list of names, and you list them on an open forum. Some random internet person comes along and reads them and goes "oh yes, I hate those names too, aren't they just awful". And the two of you do some virtual internet high five across the ether.
Some other random person is sat at home, maybe they have logged on to talk about their DC's success in vanilla slice making, and they open the thread (and come on let's face it, how difficult is it not to open these threads). They see their DC's name. And they are in the hurt persons camp of mner.
So they go away a little , while OP and random other go away feeling, erm what, a little happier that they have agreed on a name they hate
Children's names are interesting. Sometimes I feel that a little (or perhaps a whole massive dollop) of tact is required on them though.
