Generalising People due to their Name

Royce McCutcheon

Does anyone else do this? Not with all names obviously but the odd one ,

For example when I see someone called Chelsea I generally think they would get up on a gust of wind if they could whereas Lorcan's would to me wnakers in general..

SparkySpitfire

Yep, and I think the exact same thing about those two names you already mentioned, ha.

Lapin

Well said Katie !

brummytom

Any name that begins with Chan or Char (aside from Charlotte) are usually the reserve of horrible, gobby bitches.

Chantelle, Charlene, Charmaine etc. Awful names

A person's name reflects their parents' personalities, which is somewhat indicative of how they were raised. Therefore, a valid and reasonable method of judging their own personality.

Have you ever in your life met someone named 'Fintan' who wasn't a complete spa? Or a bird called 'Jacinta' who wasn't a hoopy-earringed howeya? I rest my case.

Personally when they were making all that noise about how "he was conceived in Brooklyn" I found myself wondering why they didn't call him Civic.

Yes. But I've never met someone who used the word "spa" who wasn't one.

Honda Civic. Conceived in the back of one. Ah, never mind.

Kermit.de.frog

I wouldn't dare to generalise Royce, the OP. It's a common enough name.

Call your son Julian and he'll be a raging homosexual. Adrian is a bit risky too.

Call your child Sharon and you'll be a grandparent before she finishes school

A cow called Daisy

And as for being called Tarquin or Rupert, I don't think I need say any more.

When naming our kids anyone ever think about people of that name when deciding.
"We can't call him (say) Joe cos that Joe that owns the shop is a complete dickhead"

Although I know somebody called Jacinta that's not like that at all.

Yes to both actually!

Some girls names just suggest sexiness.

Rachel for example, if your name is Rachael, you're probably a babe.

DeanAustin

If you call your daughter Candy or Krystal then she's going to end up as a stripper.

A girl I knew taught Judo, four of her students over the years were called Julian - all gay?!

Hot women usually have certain kinds of names alright. Rebecca, Samantha, Chloe etc. How did their parents know?

My auntie yeah, mad yoke with her 2 cars and 4 bedroom gaff in Maynooth, thick assumption they're names for **** sake.

The King of Moo

Dereks have an air of wistful melancholy.

Davarus Walrus

Anyone in their early to mid 30's called John Paul tend to be a bit simple. Good natured, yet thick. Tend to find them working in the same supermarket or filling station they first started in after the Junior Cert.

I know a lovely lady named Jacinta, she's a very savvy business woman and she's very elegant.

So there.

Anyone called Bríd is always 67 years old, attends church thrice a week, is about 5 ft 5 tall, wears a tonne of clothes and carries a large black handbag; they also have brown hair which resembles a brillo pad in appearance.

gugleguy

The Simons that I knew would eagerly teach and train you. But they would be easily irritated and cranky by what you consider to be some minor faults on your own ability and motivation.

Bernies are always 50 year old blond women who smoke 40 a day.

pauliebdub

Brenda's and Bridget's are usually dumpy thick and plain.

Lorcan's Pauric's Alasdair's etc.... are usually dry arse middle class knob heads who will remain virgins until they are in their late thirties.

There has never been a good looking woman called Bernie in the history of humanity.

And they all have really short hair to go along with the name.

vitani

Any Wayne I've met is usually a Dub who thinks he's hilarious. He's usually not hilarious.

old hippy

Clearly, nobody should have names anymore. It's far too divisive. Either that, or everyone from now on should be called John. Both genders.

wretcheddomain

Anyone called Dave is either boring or gay, though probably both.

Anyone called Maevis cleans the local church or works in a soup kitchen.
