    I always thought my name sounded way too young for an old buffer like I have become. In gaelic it means a young dog or wolf but now if just means a chocolate caterpillar so I can’t see a revival.

    Don’t think it has a particular class association in England as its not that common. Was in west Scotland, though. Can’t say if it had class assciations north fo the border. That’s for others to tell me.

    When I was a kid, there were lots of Marks and Jackies.

    Sharon used to be mocked in the 90’s, I think due to a viz comic.

    Sharon and Tracey, yeh? The fat slags?

    Choosing kids names can be a mine field. I like Irish and Scots names. There’s lots of really good strong girls names available.

    I know. I only recall one in my class at school.

    He was a hibby. (But his surname was Welsh)

    I often wonder what became of Ringo... the least popular guy in our year
    I'd heard he'd fulfilled his lifetime ambitions of becoming a policeman and Tynecastle season ticket holder.

    Folk just copy American patter now and it's nauseating.
    Its lazy, usually sexist and often ageist.

    And in the UK some of these stereotypes down the years are also classist.

    I've noticed a few folk on here using "I could care less" which I believe has its roots in America, the phrase makes no sense within the context it's normally used.

    I wanted Scots names for both my kids.

    My son is Ruairidh which hits the mark. I wanted Flora for my daughter (which would have fitted quite nicely with me being Stuart) but my English wife said that was just fake butter as far as she was concerned so vetoed it😅

    I was the same with my girl names when my missus was pregnant. We both liked Maisie or Daisy. But I couldn’t get it out of my head either of those names in a high powered job. Again, probably an ageist thing for me, in that names rise and fall all the time.

    Did I read that Darren is now a dead name?

    To be fair, the prospects of her being called Kevin were pretty remote.
