The cliches abounding in this topic

[LadyThompson]

I enjoy the Baby names section - I'm interested in names generally, and, furthermore, am expecting a DC2 so the choosing of names has some direct relevance to my life at the moment. However - I am wearing of some of the following:

1. People who claim to have overheard particular names called out in the supermarket (always derogatory in tone, as well);

1. People who say, in an uppity manner - well, it's ok for a BABY but it won't do for a lawyer/brain surgeon (my DP is a barrister and as any fule kno, as far as the legal profession is concerned, they have practioners with ALL sorts of names);

1. People who talk about names being common, 'chavvy' or 'council house'. I think this says FAR more about the people decrying the name than those contemplating using it ;

I could go on, but that's enough for starters. I'm not against robust discussion either, just a bit bored of the same old nonsense being trotted out...

That's okay, because lockets isn't the only person who reports trolls.

There are plenty more of us who love getting rid of them, too, in case she isn't around.

I see this has kind of veered OT but:

I think it all depends on what type of person you are. I have a good friend who has a DD Clover. If they'd had a boy he would have been Phoenix. They're very into being sort of hip and edgy, tatoos, indie music scene, etc, etc. The names they chose fit who they are, so to speak. My DS is Sam, and our next DC will be Jack or Ellie/Elle. It just fits DH and I. There are names that I would definitely never name my child, but if their parents like it, who cares?

PS I think Saskia is very pretty.

Hurr Durr @ saskiatrollmark2

Oh, I'm sure you're so winding her up seeing as she's not even here right now, saddo.

But, just so you know, she's now joined MN's royal club: of members who have or have had stalkers.

How flattering!

Definitely a teenage boy......

You're one sick fucker, padraig.

You should not be driven off by this loser, lockets.

lockets don't let some twat make you leave

Somebody is now using the screen name "saskiacansuckit" on the connie or Constance thread. Somebody really has a BEE in their bonnet.

I agree, don't let one mad person let you leave. I nearly did a while ago and then I thought, nah.... they're the weird one. I've done nothing wrong. Don't go.

oh on this thread too. Gee Zoss.

I think Saskia's a cool name.

WTF was that all about?

I thought 'padraig' was DominicConnor or whoever that freak was years ago.
