Preferences vs requirements

I’m super confused by this thread. The question (and kids’ names) sounded familiar so I checked to see if I’d already read/replied to similar thread and found a lot of screwy info…

In this post, parents are [name]Greg[/name] & [name]Julia[/name] Holloway, boys are [name]Leo[/name], [name]Asher[/name], and [name]Simon[/name], and new baby is a girl.

In another thread, parents are EllaJune & [name]Omar[/name] Isaacs [name]Thorpe[/name], triplet girls are [name]Ayelet[/name], [name]Bellamy[/name], and [name]Carys[/name], and new baby is a boy.

In another thread, parents have the surname of [name]Carlos[/name], kids are [name]Clayton[/name] and [name]Chloe[/name], and new baby’s gender is unknown.

In yet another thread, parents are [name]Deborah[/name] and [name]Michael[/name], son is [name]Samuel[/name], and new baby is a girl.

[name]One[/name] more thread has this same OP (kalin123) as nowhere near having kids.

Then there was a thread started about how to pronounce [name]Rowan[/name], which I just saw on Swistle’s blog. So now I’m thinking these questions sound familiar because maybe they’ve all been on her site (or another?), or maybe the OP (kalin123) is Swistle in disguise, or perhaps just a bored little troll, or I’m completely off my rocker.

Obviously, anyone has the right to come here and ask for naming advice, whether for an expectant child, a literary character, for a friend, just for fun, etc. But why not be up front in your posts? There are plenty of posts from people who aren’t planning children anytime soon and say so. Nothing wrong with that, and no need to pretend you’re something you’re not if you just enjoy the pleasure of talking about names!

I agree completely with this. I was just about to PM the OP (@kalin123) about this to find out what’s going on. I also found a post by her saying she had a son, [name]Wyatt[/name], and was expecting a girl…

No one has problems with anyone posting about questions or showing an interest in names, but there’s no need to create a new identity (or steal several others’).

Here’s this exact post, except for by a different user and posted in [name]December[/name]:

These circumstances were also posted on Swistle. The baby in question has already been born and named.

I’m not sure, but it seems as if this user may just be reposting old posts. I wonder why?

[name]Ah[/name], validation! I thought my pregnancy hormones were making me nuts! :twisted:

Also, my original post should’ve said expected (rather than expectant) child. Yikes. I hope nobody’s child is expecting (adult children notwithstanding!)…

Weird - what’s the motive? Taking berries’ ideas and marking them as their own for a blog? If that’s true, it’s pretty lame.

If you look at kalin123’s earliest posts she admitted to being a troll. She was inactive for a while but has apparently come back. I didn’t realize that it was the same user right away. I would say the motive is just that she wants attention.

so this not a real thread???

I called her out on another thread but I felt bad in case I was wrong so I deleted the post.

I thought maybe I was wrong.

This is ridiculous, and so unfair on us, giving you good, friendly advice for all these phantom babies and families.

I’d really like to know what’s going on?

[name]Lara[/name] [name]Jane[/name], re: multiple posts… well researched! Kudos! Also, can I say that I love your screen name!

She posted two more threads this morning:

Nameberry - Welcome to the Nameberry Forums)?p=1397405#post1397405

It appears she is copying and pasting these questions from other boards and blogs, which is worrying. I’ve reported this thread, hopefully she’ll be banned.

Thank goodness, I thought this sounded familiar too, the Ivy/Simon sound rang a bell-- but I didn’t have a chance to research it, so glad someone else did. Shady business indeed.
