    Katie Hopkins: "The lawyers I work with, I can't think of a single Kylie or Charmane"

    That'd be a reason to name your kid Kylie or Charmane.

    That video is a very frank look at how people think. Lightning-fast belief formation through shoddy heuristic shortcuts: it's not just for deciding who your kids can socialize with!

    But we just don't have the time to make proper, well thought-out decisions!

    exactly. It's not that she's a snob, it's just that she's far too busy to sort out the good Tylers from the bad Tylers.

    yeah it must suck being named after one of the most destructive historical figures

    even leaving aside all the snide, sexually explicit "agape" gibes you must get

    My children are not allowed to hang out with the children of Katie Hopkins. Especially the non-geographically named India.

    So of she makes snaps judgments, when she meets an Africa, does she immediately ask if the child was conceived in Africa?

    That video was fantastic. I just enjoyed how that lady's shenanigans even wore out the veneer of politeness that the hosts were maintaining.

    Anyway, judging people for their names is silly. Unless they are named Alaric. Then I wouldn't trust them.

    Hi Coruscant. Can I have your bank account number. It's for...something perfectly innocent, I assure you.

    Regards, Alaric

    The name Madison (as a primarily-female first name) simply didn't exist until the movie Splash came out. In fact, it's sort of meant to be a joke that this mermaid - literally a fish out of water - chooses such a ridiculous name to go by.

    Can't say I'll ever name a child of mine after a movie character. No Bellas, Madisons or Buttercups. No Lukes, no Leias. Those names are great for the family pet though.

    Alaric, sir! I did not expect you so soon.

    But of course! I have PMed the info.

    I'm fairly certain you're never going to name a child, full stop.

    And the name Bella existed before movies, you bell.

    I made it about 90 seconds in, before I wanted to stab her, and had to shut it off.

    It's amusing when Ender enters "self caricature" mode.

    Katie Hopkins is a professional troll. Whether she believes what she says or not is irrelevant. It's the only reason she's on telly.
