Help[Opinions] Re: Okay, wow...
in reply to a message by queenv
I think the problem is in the OP's statement:
If I had the opportunity and 9 months to think of names for triplets, I would do waayyy better than this I think.
It basically implies that the parents of these children didn't think their names out at all and did a half-assed job of naming, which is ridiculous to say just because you don't like their choices.

I know it's probably an exaggeration of what the OP was thinking, but it sounded petty and nitpick-y to me.

But I'm not saying that... :-(
Everything is being read into far too much....

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I interpreted your words to mean, "I would avoid such popular names and would want to find something more offbeat and unusual" and I feel the same way. But the way it was worded, it could be construed the way Akua Topaz construed it, and so a misunderstanding resulted. Also, maybe some people feel that such an attitude is snobbish, and if they do, oh well, then I'm a snob when it comes to names, just as I am when it comes to Chef Boyardee, Bud Light beer, and reality TV. :-D

LOL, I see what you mean. I guess I forget that everyone here doesn't know me personally and that they can easily misinterpret what I'm saying if I'm not super clear. That was my mistake, I guess!
*edit*
I guess my statement was meant to say that they had a long time and could have done something spectacular, but they chose the beaten path.
Which I am not mad at them for, I was just saying that any of us here may have done something different...
