Turkish Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 (edited) Ever met anyone cool called Simon? Apparently Gary is also a dying name no one calls their kid Gary anymore Tyler was cool after Brad Pitt in fight club but now seems to be domainated by council estate single mums screaming “Tyler, come back here you little cunt” Also seems quite fashionable with certain sections of society to insert an X in a name where other letters should be, we know a kid call Jaxon for example Edited September 24 by Turkish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy's are a mixed bag in my experience, and it's hard to rely on anyone called Kev, although a proper Kevin is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there were your Liza's who were too good to be a Lisa, and not forgetting Sara who was too cool for an h. Don't get me started on Dwayne - what's wrong with being a Wayne?

Lighthouse Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Some names just sound weird when applied to children. There’s something about the sentence, "would you mind if I breastfed Grant?" Which is a little unsettling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps cos he was a Grant. Anyways, I'm hoping for Derek to make a comeback. Solid name, and society would no doubt be improved by lots of young Derek's.

I have a number of Simon friends and to a man they are interesting, one or two may be simple but still interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
