Help[Opinions] Re: Thumper
in reply to a message by Jess
Thanks a whole ot! I just finished dinner now I wish I hadn't eaten! *does deep breathing and tries to hold onto her food*
I think this veterinarian has been around too many animals for too long, because all of those names he has given his kidssound like cheesy pet names.
I wouldn't choose a professional, lawyer, doctor, whatever by his or her first name, but I can tell you that I would seriously wonder about the intellectual status or maturity of an educated adult who still allowed themselves to be called by Thumper or Nifty. Nicknames aren't necessarily unprofeessional or immature. Bill Clinton, Betty Ford, Jimmy Carter and Sally Ride demonstrate that.
However, there's a BIG difference between Bill and Scooter. Yeah, I know there's Scooter Libbey, Dick Cheney's friend, but he's a crook so he doesn't count. lol And his name is Lewis.
To be totally honest, I wouldn't associate the name Thumper with a girl who does all the beauty pageants and comes from a well-known respectable family. If I try to think of it on a person at all, I would picture a little kid born to a mentally retarded person who shouldn't be having babies at all, who just thought Thumper was cute and nobody cared enough to set her straight.
Or else it's a self-chosen name for a stripper, to go with Bambi.
Nifty sounds like a con artist of some sort, or crooked bookmaker. IF it isn't a cleaning product.
Dandy isn't even used much as an adjective anymore, but it's still cutesy and sickly sweet.
Scooter is very redneck sounding. Like the Dukes of Hazzard or something.
