Re: So are y'all offended b/c she's wrong or b/c she's right?
While I'm not a fan of WTF and OMG etc I think they are able to express opinions pretty accurately. Sometimes when I see a name (e.g. Pornshea) I do think WTF and then I may state my opinion. And I think WTF or OMG sometimes explain things better than 5 sentences. Sad but true.
"And that a lot of people who haven't named a child are being pretty critical w/o considering the reasoning behind what they're criticizing. And that, maybe, some people look for things to gripe about in names rather than actually considering their potential value".
When I saw Charles I immediately thought it was a family name. And I never named a child, so what? Does that mean I don't think about names? Ridiculous, really. I always think about stuff like that. But just because the name has meaning to the person who chose it, it doesn't change the fact that they named a girl Charles, which is a name I despise on a girl.
