It was never personal. I certainly never had a 'gun' for you. I am being hung drawn and quartered for wrong assumptions that people have made. (Not just you.)

A couple of you HAVE been nasty and personal to me. And are still being so. Latest is that I'm a fuckwit and I'm pompous

Leannabanana, yes, sorry, I didn't realise that you were the OP of the other thread. I didn't think you would get so offended because you have run millions of names past us.

Sorry this all kicked off and got nasty.

Lockets, my only consolation is that my SIL married into the name. Dear god she must have loved my brother

If you think of the most common middle name of the 60's/70's and extrapolate a surname from the fact that Lorraine would have been worse, you're probably close. Using my MN nickname, I'd be Soup Doop.

In a strange quirk of fate (nicely pointed out by my dad in his wedding speech... thanks dad) the short version of my proper first name rhymes with my married surname I am doomed.

I can honestly say that this shaped my life/character. In real life I am painfully shy, have absolutely zero confidence and wouldn't say boo to a goose. Never underestimate the effect a poorly chosen name can have.

I responded to your thread title and your posts. I'm not looking for a fight.

Soupy I know exactly how you feel, I am required to give my name over the phone at work but cannot bring myself to say it even though I'm putting myself at risk of disciplinary

hence the reason my girls have 3 names each - its all about the choice imo

Leannabanana · 25/04/2009 22:08

i have the hormones of a mad woman tis true.....friendship and peace restored....it is also tru that i run a million names by you all and my latest name crush is a true gem of a name....i can hear the pasting approaching even as i consider revealing it ha ha.....

Leanna bananna has indeed run lots of names past us on here. The mind boggles at the variety and difference, what varying taste she has

MsMargotBeauregarde · 25/04/2009 22:11

lockets, you made a comment about a first time poster, and I thought that you thought that doggytowers was me. It isn't.

Soup, I can't figure out what you're called!!

OP posts:
doggytowers · 25/04/2009 22:14

I am certainly not MsMargotBeauregarde. I was merely lurking and took exception to someone calling somebody else a f*ckwit over a name disagreement.

I don't even have strong feelings about the name Honey (although it is not to my taste, strictly speaking).

Bless. DH really was very pleased with himself when he came up with Honey Rose you know.....it won't make the cut, thats for sure....i am so very fickle when it comes to girls names - i find them pretty impossible tbh which is why i like to try them out on here....

MsMargotBeauregarde · 25/04/2009 22:18

Right!. I felt a bit paranoid. It was before the white flag got brought out!

dizzydixies · 25/04/2009 22:19

Leannabanna you've come to the right place, lockets and I are somewhat experts on the subject having named at least 6 between us
