Re: What do the names you'd choose say about YOU?
That's hard. Where you're from changes everything here.Minnie May Rose - I like it. It's a bit flowery but not floral. Or maybe cutesy would be a better word.Billie Joe Jason - I can't get behind Billie Joe Jason at all. My first thought is he has bad teeth and is unkempt.If you were from the US with your name choices I'd assume you aren't very well educated, that maybe you're some small town girl who got married straight out of school and for whom having babies is an accident. I'd think you a bit nosy since in small towns everybody knows everybody else's business. You'd be religious, probably Baptist.If you're not from the US then it's a completely different story. I'd think you were English, middle class, probably from a larger city. You'd have gotten married after finishing university and waited a while to have children. You'll have spent your time with your friends and going on short holidays with your partner. I'd assume you were down to earth and really enjoyed your time being a mother.

Interesting... Are you from the UK? I ask, because I am, and I definitely don't agree with the idea of being English and middle class, at least with Billie Joe Jason. Minnie May Rose I could see it. Funny seeing the differences of opinion :)

I'm not. I'm from the US. And you're right. Billie Joe Jason isn't middle class at all but I was thinking of Minnie May Rose as though it were.

Yep an English country girl. I live in the rural countryside in a small cottage (saying that I sound way to british).
