Re: Meeting someone with a name you hate
in reply to a message by gigibee
What happens when you meet someone with a name you really hate? The same thing that happens when I meet someone with a name that I don't hate.
Does it make it hard to relate to the person normally? Or do you get the heebie jeebies, or feel irritated, or what? I get a little hesitant if it's a name that has been ruined because of a personal association, but otherwise I wouldn't care. Since I go to school, I see people with names I hate on a daily basis.
If you remain in contact with the person, and you like them, do you eventually come to like the name you formerly hated? Sometimes.
Disliking a name is not the same as disliking a person who has the name. I've known plenty of nice people with names that I despise. I think it's wrong to hate someone solely because of their name.
