HelpRe: WDYT of Brooklyn? (Please Respond)
in reply to a message by Sabrina Fair
Yes, it's hopelessly celebrity-following and trendy. If they'd named their sons Jack and Matthew no-one would blink, but since they're such unusual names, *everyone* will believe they're named directly after Beckham's kids. Sorry, but he got there first and copying him is just silly.
I don't really like Brooklyn but there's nothing really wrong with it except for the fact that it's an uber-trendy Somethinglyn name. If it's used I prefer to see it on a girl. Romeo is nmsaa but River is ok.
Btw, saying "please respond" is aggravating and off-putting. Why should we respond just because you say so? People will respond if they WANT to respond, and not because you nag them to. The more you order people around, the fewer the number of people who will bother responding. Plus, it makes you look bossy and rude.

well excuse me! I only did it twice, sorry for posting! I'm not "making" anyone it's still their choice to repind or not, I just really needed opinions. I won't do it anymore.
I'm not copying him by the way, who cares if he got to it first? I'm sure tons of people have sibsets that celebrites have the same.
I know it's your opinion, but you don't have to be rude about it.

That wasn't rude, just brutally honest. If I'd said anything about *you*, rather than my opinion of your name choices, it would have been rude; but you can't choose what my opinion will be, thanks.
I'm not the only person in this thread to reprimand you for demanding opinions.

I honestly did think it was demanding, or looked like it, I guess it could have been, I've seen others do it, so I thought that people didn't mind. No brutally honest can still be kind. I'm not talking about the actual names itself. saying that i'm copying him was rude.
ETA: it's nothing to fight over though, thanks for replying to my post.

No, we do mind, and people get told off for it all the time.
I wasn't trying to be rude (it's my opinion that using those names is silly, regardless of WHO uses them), and I feel very strongly that you're using my opinion as an excuse to attack me, after how unpleasant you were the last time I had an opposing opinion to you.

No i'm not using it as an excuse trust me, I honestly felt that part was a bit rude. I see I didn't know it really bothered everyone, I won't do it anymore :).
ETA: I wasn't trying to attack either, sorry if it came out like that.
