[Opinions] Re: Roger.
in reply to a message by Flash
I cannot *stand* Roger! I've seen it a few times on the boards -- many people here are attracted to über-British names -- but I think it's dreadful. And you never see it now, in England at least, probably because the slang "to rodger" is the same as "to sodomise". (Sorry ...)OK, Roger rant over ... Time for some more venting ;-)Sebastian - God I hate this. It's so yuppie trendy, and so flailingly desperate to be upper class. And now that everyone and their brother has it on their list, it's even more annoying. Oh, and the sound is vile imo.John - Well, it's just the most boring name on the planet. How could anyone possibly choose it, when there are thousands of options? John is generic, the cheap cop-out name, it has no character whatsoever.Isabella - I didn't used to mind this. But lately I've been consumed with hatred for it. If I ever hear this called "classic" again, I will scream. It's been utterly destroyed by trendoids. In the 80s, it didn't make the top 1000. And now, number 7?! That is TRENDY all the way, not classic. _____________________________________________________________________Elinor"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
