I am a fairly new member to Nameberry, long time lurker. Yet I am disturbed at a comment made toward my children’s name under the “Fenyx” thread made by a user. This person made some rude comments about their names. They are children for goodness sakes. If you’re going to argue, argue with me and do not bring my children in it. [name]Aren[/name]'t these forums supposed to be open places for discussion where we can share names and not bicker? I was very offended and I would hope that Nameberry would remove this user’s comments/profile immediately. Has anyone else had issues with rude users here? It is simply unacceptable.
I haven’t really seen a lot of rude behavior on this site until that thread. I am glad it was closed because there is no need for that online. It is a waste of time.
I wouldn’t feel insulted because your children have lovely names.
Yeah, that’s why I stayed out of that thread, it was getting nasty. I’m glad it was closed.
I didn’t read that thread… it seemed like it might be one of the more “rude” threads. Honestly, I haven’t seen that much rudeness here, for the most people are quite open minded and friendly. There’s been some occasional rudeness, mostly reserved for boys names on girls and unusual names and spellings… but most of the time nameberry is very friendly and fun place.
And your children have very nice names!
People can be really nasty when it comes to names. Alot of us have really strong opinions and being online its alot easier to voice them. Keep in mind aswell that its hard to display tone through text. Some people might not intend to sound as rude as you perceive them.(If someone asks for an honest opinion theyre bound to get it). As far as some people being blatantly rude the good ol’ “ignore them” method works rather well. Your children have nice names ([name]Darcy[/name] is particularly adorable and [name]Tobias[/name] is one of my favorites). Dont let nasty people ruin your experience here, after all their children probably have terrible names and theyre just jealous of your genious 
lol
Thanks everyone! Nice to hear from some kind people out there 
Aw, your children have lovely names! This site is usually very fun and friendly, I agree. But on occasion, there are always some threads like that. I didn’t see it but I’m glad that it was closed. [name]Glad[/name] you are feeling better about it now though
That thread got really nasty and the person who made those comments about your kids names got called out on her nasty/ridiculous comments as well as her motive for defending the OP, so she took it out on you. She was blatantly rude to others as well. Take it with a grain of salt (although I know that is hard to do when it comes to our kids). Threads getting nasty on here is a pretty rare occurence. [name]Love[/name] your kids names!
The user who made that comment directed at you was “sock puppeting,” meaning, it was the same person arguing with everyone, but created a second account to comment from to make it look like she had someone on her side. I think the person (commenting from both accounts) was either just a troll, intentionally trying to stir the pot, or someone who initially had a genuine interest in seeing what people had to say on the boards after searching for the name she chose for her son, discovered the thread trashing it, and then went psycho on everyone and trolled the crap out of it because she was upset.
She would have made the same comment against anyone replying to her nonsense no matter what their kids’ names were. Your children have perfectly lovely names!
Coming from a lot of other boards, I can safely say that this is one of the most drama-free forums. [name]Haven[/name]'t seen the particular thread you’re talking about, but if there was any rudeness, I’m glad it was closed.
I have nothing against your children’s names, they’re cute and I’m sure you put a lot of thought into each one of them. On the other hand, I will say that everyone have different opinions and there will always be some who dislike your favourite names, I know that from myself as I have a more old-fashioned taste in names. I’d wish that I could make everyone love [name]Ingrid[/name], [name]Olga[/name] or [name]Emmanuelle[/name], but that wont work and that’s just that. Again, don’t think I’ve seen the actual thread and there’s obviously no need to be decidedly rude about it.
Wow, that wasn’t me ‘sock puppeting’. [name]Way[/name] to jump to conclusions.
Waw you would make a perfect detective, i admire your intelligence
I hope [name]Pam[/name] and [name]Linda[/name] are aware of this member’s activity, because their behaviour isn’t in the spirit of the forum. I’m not sure of exactly what’s going on but its very suspicious and inflammatory, and as I said earlier, not the kind of thing that’s done here at NB. [name]Hope[/name] it gets sorted soon.
OP, your children have gorgeous names.
Lol, I really didn’t go psycho at all. People are really overreacting about that thread. If you take a look back at the thread, people made rude replies to me first, which of course, I replied with the same tone.
I did stumble across that thread because of researching the spelling. We tried multiple ways of spelling the name, because the original doesn’t appeal at all to us.
I’m not upset, I didn’t troll the thread, and I do not have multiple accounts on this board. I also wouldn’t take the time to insult someone’s name choices, because I don’t really care enough what some other stranger calls their children.
If you look at my other replies on this forum, you can see I make perfectly friendly replies to anyone who treats me the same way. I replied in a friendly manner to a member on my second post in that thread, because she made a reply to me that wasn’t rude.
Who runs Nameberry? I think anyone who “stirs the pot” should be blocked immediately.
It seems like this thread is just going to start another argument. Can’t we let bygones be bygones? Or maybe even just drop the whole thing entirely?
Wow, indeed, ecka6! Amazing how someone with a brand-new account magically found this thread and responded two seconds later to one of your posts in a way that favors your arguments! Again!
Funny, I was looking at that just a few minutes ago! I agree, the level of rudeness on that thread was unacceptable. I absolutely love your children’s names and think that any personal attacks of that sort is absolutely intolerable.
Normally, though, Nameberry is a very open, honest community. I haven’t been here ages, but I was a long-time lurker before finally posting and everyone is friendly and willing to offer advice. We have to accept that not every name we love will be met with love from everyone else, and I do think disagreeing respectfully is incredibly important. Everybody should feel good about sharing their opinions no matter how different or unsupported they are.
Haha, I can guarantee you, if I was to bother to take the time, to make accounts to back myself up, I would NOT be that obvious hahah
I agree @StephanieBrooke. I don’t want my thread to create another argument. I’m just looking for the head members of Nameberry to take some action against the people who are creating this drama and put an end to it once and for all so we can get back to peacefully discussing names.
