I suppose I misread what you said then. I thought you were talking about the names I was talking about.
What I don't understand now is you just said you don't like and avoid people with "boring white man names", and then go on to state that the majority of people you've dated and/or been involved with bear these names.
How is that possible exactly?
I don't have a problem with unique names, just trendy lame-ass names. Madison really gets me, for example. So many girls have been named Madison when it is a) a surname and b) it has "son" at the end, which would mean that the name is defined as "son of Madi". My best friend named his daugher Asha and his son Cerick, and I have no problem with those. Unique, but not laughable.
Guys named Ashley, or any other female name, is fucking stupid. I wish I knew the parents of the guys named Ashley because I think they need punched in the face. Why would you name your boy with a girl's name knowing that he's going to be given shit for it when he's younger? What makes it even more disturbing is the fact that my girlfriend's name is Ashley, which completely suits her. You can't go wrong with Rick (or Richard technically in my case).
This is more of a British thing but I can't understand why anyone would call their daughter Shelley. Maybe it's because the only Shelley I know is a fat, ignorant, obnoxious chav.
A woman was very upset because people kept mispronouncing her daughter's name at school. Her daughter's name was spelled: "Le-a." Naturally, most people pronounced the name "Leah." This upset the girl's mother. When asked how the name should be pronounced, the mother replied: "Ledasha." When asked by others why this was the proper pronunciation, the mother said:
"De dash don't be silent!"
