    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..

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Some girls names just suggest sexiness.

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

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

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