Help[Opinions] Re: Niles
in reply to a message by Gracie
First, I've never heard of Niles Crane. I had to Google it and I don't really think most people will think of him. It's been so long since Frasier was on.
When I think of Niles, I actually think of a prim and proper British guy. I also think of the Nile River.
What about Niall?

That's funny that three of you associate the name Niles with a British man! I've never heard it used here. My only association is with Niles Crane, and I guess it does sound a bit pretentious because of him.
I've heard people using Nile and then there's Niall which I quite like but I would assume a Niall was Irish or had Irish connections. And while One Direction are MASSIVE as LMS pointed out, I don't really associate the name Niall with them, but I'm not their target audience. I have trouble remembering all their names anyway.

Haha, I see it as British. Don't know why. :P

Miles seems really American to me.

I had no idea at all with One Direction. Then again I'm really not into pop culture BUT I'd personally worry more about a very popular fictional character rather than a member of a boy band

I have no clue what One Direction is.

A HUGE boy band in English speaking countries that is growing in the East as well. I somehow can't believe you have no idea who they are as they are all over TV/Radio and I swear I hear about them at least once a week, which seems like a lot since I have no interest in them.

Some of us don't listen to the radio or watch TV. I only know of them fleetingly... Although the more I think about it the more I know about them. Still, I can understand someone not knowing. My knowledge comes secondhand and mostly from FB.

It's not that I don't trust her, I'm just amazed!

Don't be really. I only know they're a boy band and nothing else. I listen to oldies stations and Christian stations and we don't watch TV over the air or on cable. Just Netflix. I've seen the headlines about then online on occasion, but I skim by them.

That's all i know about them too. I watch a fair amount of tv, but it's all recorded so i don't see many advertisements. I listen to radio, all public radio but that includes a high school radio. But i learned about the band from work, retail, where they had a ton of one direction merchandise that wouldn't sell. So i know vaguely what they look like and that they're a band, but i couldn't tell you anything else or what their music sounds like. I don't think they're played on the high school station, whose theme is hot dance music.

Boy Band
Rather big. My friend's daughter cried for an hour after her sister ripped her poster of one of the band members.
