HelpRe: Colonial names
in reply to a message by Barbra
Eh? This was meant honestly. Cleveland does a lot of research — more than most people here. Personally I would be grateful for this kind of feedback if I was trying to create characters from certain demographic points in history. It’s good to know what actually was common in certain periods and doesn’t just seem like it would be.
I recognize I might have missed something earlier that your comment is also addressing, but this comment on Colonial American names is very interesting, informative, and an excellent response imo.

Cyber-bullying(?) - perhaps, even if only in its germinal form.
This would be the only reason I responded at all.

Thank you for asking
I'll use this opportunity to explain.
I despise all forms of pretense--in that, "blah blah person attended blah blah university"--or boasts of some or other honor, and that, accordingly, is more qualified than anyone else. It also manifests into economic classes--in few places more than in the US.
Everyone knows something or can do something that others cannot; or others have greater difficulty developing this gift; it also happens that specific people are unaware of what such a gift may be - and, that as a natural nurturer--such is where my empathy abounds.
So when I see people boast or flaunt specific accomplishments, perhaps, but not necessarily, to the "implied subordination" of another (or others) - I often react defensively; but, externally, this might seem as an aggression on my part; but my intent is merely to "face the bully".

That stands for "Failure to Fawn." To the Barbaras of the world, it's trolling and bullying.

Only she wasn’t “attacked”
Someone who an actual expert on names corrected her, in a way that was informative and not aggressive.

Perhaps--but if the info were initiated rather than an attempt to "correct", I would not have been likely to respond at all.

I am also curious as to what you did not understand when you criticized my post last year about the name "Pamela".

Of course I will & do.

agree ...
There was nothing in CKE's post to warrant such an obnoxious and ignorant response from Barbara. I've been on this site for 13 years and I've never seen CKE post in any way that wasn't professional and polite.
