Yes! A family near us calls their toddler Lady E______. It's suffocating.


Like all the time? That sounds... insane. We sometimes play queen with our little girl in which we pretend she's the queen and she gives us commands. But it's a game, a way for her to work out her natural desire to be imperious. When it's over, we call her by her regular name.


It's all the time. Not really her first name but may as well be. And as for the racist comment, they are white.

I have a double name. Hyphenated. I didn't choose it.


Well, nobody chooses their name. And people with double names aren’t bad. But it can sometimes (not always) be very much a class signifier for the parents.


Funny, to me it’s very Catholic working-class, but that just shows my own bias.


I'm with you on that. I also think of it as a Catholic working-class thing.


When I hear double names my mind automatically thinks Bible Belt. It feels very southern, but I can also see the Catholic working class angle.

Because names are the parents' choices, usually, I rarely judge someone because of their name.

Trevor and Kent have basically hit the Freakonomics bottom of the barrel where they would have been country club names in the 80's, but they're trailer park now. Muffy is a nickname that's historically very WASP, but almost all of them are 60+ at this point.


Muffy is one of my dog's nicknames. I wonder if it is actually "ma fille"


It’s the diminutive of “Muffin”. How could this possibly be pretentious? It just sounds tacky.

For a boy. Not a “bit.”


I guess you're not British.

Doesn't thatcher mean a roofer?
