I feel sorry for her - she has done the law profession no good whatsoever. She has been a fool to voice her opinions and will be hounded (as will her poor children!)

I wonder if she would have the same objections if her children came home and said they wanted to play with Sir Bob Geldof's children:

Peaches
Pixie
Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily
Fifi Trixibelle

Or one of the Beckham's children:

Brooklyn
Harper
Romeo
Cruz

My poor old Grandad Archibald would be vilified by her.

As regards K k k katie, K k k katie .... as a name.

It reminds me of a cowshed, ... because of the song... 😄

I knew someone called "Gordon Bennett" and he too had a distressing childhood!

My OH knows someone called Theresa Green, and many years ago I knew a guy whose sirname was Cake. Wife - Cherry. :^O

Both of these were the ladies married name.What better reason could there be for kepeing your maiden name when you marry. Unless it's Rumblebelly or something. 😮

I know a John Smith who lives in a place called Holme and when the police pulled him up he was asked his name and he said John Smith. They asked where he lived and he told the Holme.

They ddnt beleive him till he showed proof then they had a laugh and said they couldnt beleive that but he was told he could go with no charge as he'd told them the truth.

Good grief, thinking that posh names mean the children will be intelligent and well behaved.

How wrong can you be?

Jeremy Hardy once said he was born in the East End but his parents called him Jeremy so they had to move to Surrey.

Snobbery of the highest order! ;\ I suspect there's a reason why she feels the way she does.

Maybe she was made to feel inferior as a child.

Or HER parents were snobs and she's just carrying on the tradition!

Whatever the reason she sounded ridiculous.:O

I agree.

This is not a joke, it's so absurd that you will not believe me.. but why should I lie?

When he was introduced to me I laughed out loud, thinking he was pulling my chain.

I actually have a friend now.

(he forgave me for deriding his name, because it had happened to him many times before)

Michael Hunt what were your Parents thinking of??

A stuck up snob or does she have a point.

Most definitely a stuck-up snob. She is passing on her prejudices to her children. Surely children have to make up their own minds regarding any prejudices????

Seriously though, she is one of the most annoying people on the planet, IMO. I could not bear to be anywhere near her. She seems to court controversy simply to advertise herself and earn an extra couple of pounds.

Even if you were horrible enough to privately think these strange thoughts, what right-minded, sane person would go on national television to air it publicly?

Bizarre, what more can be said?

I had a fairly strange first name back in the olden days (not nowadays as there are now more than a few, but back in the day it was very odd indeed) If everyone thought as Ms Price does, I would never have had any friends at all, in my whole life :^O
