HelpRe: A pitch for my own - and what a Pitch! (Ha Ha Ha)
in reply to a message by Barbra
Yeah...I don't believe for one second that you're a dude named Barbara. I think you're bored and looking to start crap on a message board, so you chose this stupid topic/argument. Not buying it. And the name Barbara sucks for a male OR female.

Read between the lines. I myself cannot be insulted, though others can, some of whom quite easily. I've heard it all already. I could not care less whether someone likes my name or a name of anyone else. Degrading a name however, considering that this is public, reflects more on the person degrading the name than the name itself; however children may not understand this, and may suffer without conscious understanding of these feelings. Will we resort to name calling next, as children in elementary school? It would be unlike me to not like a name, or perhaps, more appropriately stated with "Behind the Name", it would "not be my style", which is a softer form of dismissal...
My interest more concerns the history & heritage "Behind a Name" and others who might have an unusual name, which is why I joined the group. I did not intend to ruffle the feathers of anyone; sorry if I did - and I really am sorry.

Who are all these children you're talking about? You keep saying children will stumble upon this website and be hurt by negative comments, but I have been a member for seven years, and I can tell you that children do not frequent this website. I think you're using the Helen Lovejoy hand-wringing as a tactic to try to get people to like the name because you can't be confident and just like it yourself.
Also, if disliking a name reflects more on me than the name itself, so be it. I'm a big meanie for thinking Barbra/Barbara is a terrible, dated name that should never be used on one of the poor, unsuspecting children again. Whoop-dee-doo.
