Administrator? (My suggestion to Mike)

---

I suggested to Mike a few months ago to add a 'contribute' button right on the comments page of a name, so that people who are up-in-arms :) about a particular name don't have to figure out how to go back to the page for the name itself and contribute there. Many of them seem to be unable to see that in their moment of upset and, thus, they end up here.

---

Anyway, Mike thought it was a good idea but said he was very busy. Apparently it hasn't happened yet. Do any of you administrators also have the authority/ability to make those types of changes?

---

Anyway, I'm pretty indifferent on the name Shannon. I certainly would not call it chavvy and I certainly would not call it beautiful.

I went to school with a girl called Shannon. It's not a name I hear a lot. I don't associate it with chavs (I too am from to UK), but in my opinion it does not have a sound that I would describe as beautiful either.

Isn't "chavvy" the UK equivalent of the US "trashy"? No, Shannon isn't trashy. But, and I realize I'm probably showing my age here, whenever I hear it, all I can think of is this:

And I'd rather not think of that. Before you decide to somehow make it through the whole thing, remember that's 4 minutes and 8 seconds of your life that you'll never get back. And rumor had it that the song is about the death of an Irish Setter.

Hello, Shannon. I like your name.

Did you read the comments and decide to respond here? That happens a lot.

I don't have a "chavvy" impression of the name Shannon, but I don't live in the UK. I think it's a pretty name.

Mine too

I don't know who says it's chavvy. But I don't live in the UK. I didn't like my name as a kid, but I like it now.

*cocks head* Whoever said it was? Chavvy, that is.
