Re: Declan?
in reply to a message by A
I find Declan quite low-class, I'm afraid. It's the kind of name I associate with people who put their infant in branded sports attire, generally a tracksuit and shiny white running shoes, and pierce their ears as soon as they hit the age of 12 months. I would think of an Irish Declan differently, and more favourably, but unfortunately I have yet to meet one.

I have to agree with you and I don't like the "an" ending. My boyfriend really likes it so I wanted to see what others think.

Heh...my mother pierced my ears at six months.

Sorry! I'm just not a fan of piercings in general, they kind of creep me out, so seeing them on kids isn't something I particularly like. Having said that, it's generally just when I see the mini sports attire that I start getting kind of judge-y :P

No worries. I didn't take it personally. :)
