Help[Opinions] Re: I feel ashamed like h***
in reply to a message by Caprice
As others have said, you are NOT and idiot and I don't think anyone here thinks so. It is very easy not to make an association that many other people might, particularly on a board where people have different native languages, dialects, and cultural considerations. I had not noticed a pattern of you bringing up names that other then find a negative association for. Besides, it's kind of fun to throw around different words as names and see what people come up with. Putting something out there doesn't make you an idiot.

agree ...
And Caprice: you are too old and have been on this board too long, and you have been through this discussion too many times before to actually believe the self-pitying things you've said. Come on, have a little pride.
So nobody likes the names you throw in, so what? They aren't the names of your kids or your relatives, they're just words and names you found someplace and want opinions on. And you ask for opinions; you get opinions. If you can't handle opinions that aren't the same as yours, then maybe you should not go on an opinions board. Maybe it upsets you too much. I suspect it really doesn't, because if it did you'd have left a long long time ago.
You're not a fool for posting words-as-names that you don't realize mean or sound something negative in English; I'm sure there's plenty of English names that would mean something very strange or inappropriate in Swedish.
You are being foolish by so blatantly fishing for pity on such a weak pretext. Not a fool, just foolish. I think you are smarter than that; at least, I think you are smart enough that you ought to know better at this late stage.
But hey, if it upsets you that much, there's a million and one other message boards online. You could even start your own and have complete control over the content.
