Make up fake baby names / post fake annoucement-- lame, but mainly harmless
Make up pleasant, quick stories about your fake family – lamer, but easy to ignore
Make up very dramatic stories about your fake family including childhood disease, death, tragic circumstances, tons of children, spontaneous higher order multiples, adoptions, infertility, teenage pregnancy, rape, other very personal and sensitive topics – lamest and hurtful and extremely rude to people who ACTUALLY go through these unfortunate circumstances.
STEAL photos from another person – lamest and criminal.
Dear Potential Nameberry Trolls… do NOT steal photos from another family. It is a crime. A teenager who was trolling a motherhood website took photos of my oldest daughter way back in 2002 and I still feel violated by that. She posted them on a different forum as her own. There is absolutely nothing funny or cute about claiming a child is yours if it is not. Stop and think how what you are doing will affect another person please. It may be fun and games to you, but trust me, everyone does not agree.
