senorsoupe Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I echo those who don't like names spelled differently to be edgy. Nobody is going to take Machenzye seriously when they are adults. In terms of names of tended to dislike, I don't think I've ever known a Curtis or a Donna who weren't complete arseholes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Jayden/Kayden and other names rhyming with these. Alfie/Albie Mason Grayson Jackson (worse if spelled Jaxxon/Jaxon) You just know when you hear these names that the kid is a wee c**t. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally no names bother me other than double-barrelled ones. They remind me of American redneck/white trash. I have a niece and a nephew (wife's side...) with a double-barrelled name and I can't bring myself to calling them by it. Always use their initials. 14 hours ago, Barry Ferguson's Hat said: Anyone called Nicole is scum. I concur. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 12 minutes ago, throbber said: Well strike me down. It is still a truly awful name. With that I concur. Although unconnected etymologically, Chad (as in the country) means lake. So Lake Chad is Lake Lake, and there's barely even a lake there anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminded me of an unlikely meeting of Jimmy Nichol and Jean Pierre Papin (which happened about 20 years ago) I can't remember why they were together at the same function, but Tom Shields of The Herald recreated their intro to each other. JP: Nichol? JN: Papin?. Simple, but I've been chuckling at that for years. Cheers for the reminder. And aye, nobody under 35 is coming close to getting that . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hi Mike" "it's Michael actually" "go f**k yourself Mike" You'll give me both syllables of my first name and like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
