Disliking someone due to their name

    Have you ever had a bad experience with someone,perhaps even in school,but still have an unconscious dislike or preconception of someone with the same name later on in life?

    I was bullied in school and have a dislike for Neils(not Neals,mind)

    Completely irrational,I know.:confused:

    Perhaps someone who has dated two people with the same name, where the first one ended badly may sympathise?(or not)

    *senses Spanish name may be mentioned*

    I've known three Peters who were utter psychos. But in fairness, one of them mellowed and became nice. And it wouldn't put me off all Peters. :)

    The Mayor of the town goes to the top restaurant called Gervais's. As he's the top man the head chef, Gervais personally asks him what he wants to eat.

    He decides, after much deliberation, on the dish of the day, which is Squid. Gervais takes him to the aquarium to choose a squid, he spots one, which by strange coincidence has a small moustache just like his own.

    So... Gervais takes the squid to the kitchen, puts it on the board and takes out his largest knife to kill it, he raises his hand and as he goes to kill it hears a very quiet "eeeek", he looks around... nothing, so he raises his arm, goes to kill it and again hears a quiet "eeeek" .. looking down he sees the squid and it again goes "eeek".

    He then finds he can't bring himself to kill the squid. So he looks across the kitchen and sees Hans, the dishwasher. "Hans! Come over here and kill this squid for me so I can prepare a dish for the Mayor". Hans is bored with his dishwashing job and thinks to himself that if he can do this job properly he can make it as a chef, I really need to prove myself by doing a job properly. So he raises his arm, knife in hand and goes to kill the squid.

    "Eeeek" he hears, strange he thinks... and looks around... nothing.. so he goes to kill the squid and again... a quiet "eeeek". He looks down and sees the squid and it again goes... "eeeek" . Hans is troubled.. he wants to prove himself but is obviously having troubles, he raises his arm again brings knife down and just before he does the squid quietly goes "eeeeek".

    Hans realises that he doesn't have the heart to kill the squid and the Mayor misses out on his cordon bleu meal.

    The Moral of this story?
    For Hans that do dishes can be as soft as Gervais, with mild scream hairy lip squid...

    I wasnt asking for sectarian hatred.Completely unnecessary bigotry.

    Im guessing that William and Billy might be the same lad depending on how well you know them?

    Im guessing you are lapsed,Ghandee?

    I have a dislike for any of those pseudointellectia gaelgoir names.....

    Fiachra (reminds me of buck teeth)
    Meadhbh (If you have this pretentious name, you can even choose your own spelling)
    Oisin (reminds me of a toilet cleaner)
    Derbhla (reminds me of Derbac-C, the treatment for scabies)
    Fionn (smelly tree hugger name)
    Sinead (A soft drink for Irish republicans)

    never met anyone with any of those (or similar) names i liked.......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    There was a lad John down the road from me when I was younger, couldn't stand him for some reason, never really could say why, tbh none of his family were liked, it seemed like nobody had a good word to say about the Hitlers!!!

    I was never mad about "Pauls", all stemmed from a horrible guy in primary school called Paul who used to torment me. Then I ended up going out with a Paul when I was about 18 and that didn't work out, had a boss called Paul, but strangely enough am seeing a a Paul at the moment :eek:

    ah nothin personal shinikins... I meant to stipulate that i just don't like any of the gaelgoir names when they belong to someone with a D4 accent. Anyone I've ever met with a gaelgoir name who came from the country were all sound ;)

    Be wary of anyone with a surname as a first name really, is my advice.

    It's the same name you know.

    One less name to hate and consequently a smidgeon less bile swirling around in you hopefully.

    Errrrrr.....I'm a Dub born and raised, and while I'm not from D4 I've often been accused of it by those who don't know the difference between speaking well and speaking like a stereotypical Dub!


    I have an irrational dislike of Anna's-any I've come across have always been a bit mad in the head, and not in the fun way!
    Rob's are another one(even though I have a lovely ex called Rob) the majority have been knobs.
    Never met a Keith I liked, either.
