HelpRe: Meeting someone with a name you hate
in reply to a message by gigibee
A coworker of mine does this thing where she exclaims someone's "weird" name to the whole office to make fun of it. "Is this a real name?!" she'll laugh. A lot of our clients are Indian or Chinese, so it's pretty immature of a 30+ year old to have such a crazy reaction to names of other cultures, but whatever.
Personally, if there's a name I don't like, I'll think "That's unfortunate, I don't like that name", but it honestly usually doesn't make me like the name any more even if I like the person. Some of my best friends have names I really don't like but it's all good.
I will admit when I went to college down South, I met a lot more girls with names like Ashton and Payton than I ever did in New Jersey, and I judged them a bit for it because of mass opinions on BtN. I got over it, though.
