    Most Kevin's I've met (Not all) ended up being complete tossers. 3 different Pauls I know are complete Walter Mittys too, constantly having to lie about themselves and create these elaborate stories about their pretend wealth and status. No clue why, some people are just like that. Funny thing is that the ones I know have common friends of mine, and tell different stories to my friends to explain the same stuff, which is hilarious when we compare notes.

    Don't think I've ever met a bad Charlie though. Nearly every person I've met called Charlie tends to be happy go lucky.

    I have yet to meet a Donna that was anything other than a malicious, manipulative bitch, that’s what you get for naming someone after a poison. Pity ‘cos I actually like the name, well I used to. I’ve asked around and it seems to be a thing with that name, I am sure there are some lovely Donnas about, there must be…

    Was talking to a girl on the first day of college. I was getting on grand with her until she introduced herself as Tanya. Honestly I don't even understand my reaction but I just couldn't take her seriously after that. I nearly laughed in her face. :o

    Anyone ever catch those antique programmes in the afternoon. There are several experts called 'Jonty'. What a pretentious name. If I ever met a Jonty in real life I'd go, "Oi, Jonty......Nooooooo. Wha a pretentious name you Plonka". Then I'd punch him in the face.

    It's just a common shortening of jonathan, especially in south africa and England..

    I was never mad about "Pauls", all stemmed from a horrible guy in primary school called Paul who used to torment me. Then I ended up going out with a Paul when I was about 18 and that didn't work out, had a boss called Paul, but strangely enough am seeing a a Paul at the moment :eek:
    Seems strange for rhubarb to be meeting apaul.

    I tend to dislike the name Derek.

    I think the reason is because my Grandmother would make me watch Live At Three with her (usually whilst being force fed carrot soup) and Derek Davis used to piss me right off for parking his fat suit in our telly when Granny and I should have been watching The Turtles.

    Fate is a cruel thing, and it was just my luck that as soon as Granny went to a home, The Turtles got cancelled.

    I cant ****ing stand andrews, peters or eugenes. Any people i've dealt with with those names have always been ***** of the highest order. The same goes for people named Trevor (wanker name or what?)
    wierdly, I've only met one other Nicholas and he was a complete wanker towards me :P

    For girls, any "aine's/grainne's" have been ugly malevolent bitches towards me. hate those 2 ****ing names with a prejudice, they sound horrible and unpronouncable to anyone who doesn't come from here.

    I hate every chimp I know... from Chimpan-A to Chimpan-Z,:D

    Seriously though, probably think more of their social background than their personality, there are very few Oisins or Gabriels where I live...
