[Opinions] Re: Ricky
in reply to a message by Lisa
I detest it, its thought of as a low class name. I know a guy Ricky and he is a bricklayer so he as known as Ricky the Bricky

I think the name Ricky is adorable, and I know a very well educated, good looking guy around 30 years old that goes by this name. However, I don't think I'd use it as a formal name. And I don't think that there's any such thing as a "low class" name. A name is what that person makes of it. I've know "low class" people named Rebecca and Nellie, and I've known "high class" people with the same names. And, I think bricklaying is a perfectly respectable, honest job and it isn't "low class" in my opinion.

DittoBricklaying is hard work and also very skilled. Just because a job doesn't need a degree, does not make it "low class"._____________________________________________________________________"There are few more distressing sights than that
