That made be both very, physically angry, and laugh uncontrollably.

Wow, what do you say to that.

It may be the case that most of the children with names such as the ones she mentioned tend to come from working class families. I don't know, I haven't done any research, but I just have a feeling that statistics would support that. It is possible that you may be able to attach certain names to a social class.

However, why on Earth would anyone limit their child in such a way that they werent allowed to socialise with certain kids of a lower class, based completely on their name and name alone? What made me laugh is that she even admits she does that! She openly admits that she limits her children and she sees nothing wrong with this. That is, of course, also very, very sad. Especially for the kid.

What did make me laugh, so much, was that she is banging on and on about not approving of certain types of names, such as footballers, celebrities, and geographical locations. And then you find out that one of her own children is called India. Absolutely priceless.
