HelpRe: So are y'all offended b/c she's wrong or b/c she's right?
in reply to a message by Caemlyn
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.

By stating that they named a girl "Charles" indicates that it is in the first name position. I think that the fact that it is not in the first name spot indicates that its conclusion was not to put a boy's name on a girl but to honour. This is further highlighted by the clearly feminine first name.
In my opinion I reserve the middle name for honouring purposes, and therefore, I love to see whatever name it may be there to serve this purpose.
If it means something to their family I think it is wonderful, and I believe that the child will enjoy knowing that they were named after someone that meant so much to their parents.
A also prefer to see the orginal names used when honouring.

Okay so this is your opinion and that's fine. But I don't prefer seeing the original guy's name on a girl. I would've preferred Charlotte. End of story. So could you please stop telling me (not only you, Lili) that Charles isn't that bad on a girl? It's your opinion which is fine but mine is that I do not like Charles on a girl, no matter what so may I please be able to give my opinion as well without being criticized????

No problem, sorry I didn't really mean to try and force my opinion on you but I understand how it may have appeared that way.
To be clear if they had given the name "Charles" to a girl for the sake of putting a boy's name on a girl I would have been disappointed. And I do not like Charles on a girl, but I do like honouring. - Just to clarify my position, not to influence yours. :)
I never meant to criticise your opinion, merely to express mine.
