Did you deliberately choose to omit the next little bit "(perhaps as one may expect I suppose)" in an attempt to maybe make something out of the comment that wasn't intended? My reading was that he is surprised at the lack of an obviously Islamic name on the female list, not that he is surprised there is one on the male list.0 -

Had a mate at work, surname "Nurse".
He always laughed that his dad was called Phil and his brother, Antony.
Making then an "A Nurse" and a "P Nurse"!

The point is you have interpreted the comment as one of surprise that a Muslim name should feature in the top 100 in the UK when in fact the intention was to convey surprise no female Muslim name featured in the list for girls. In other words you imply the poster is in some way racist or at least shocked that there are many Muslims living here when any neutral reading of their post would infer nothing of the sort.
You must realise that but I'll spell it out anyway.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0 -

Nathancom and I have history. However I was making an observation and genuinely thought there would have been a similar correlation in girls names. Equally surprised that not more Eastern European names in list.
Nathan will try to make a racist finger pointing argument out of anything. I would to know his views on current conflict in Gaza. Perhaps you should start the thread Nathan.Always be yourself, unless you can be Aaron Rodgers....Then always be Aaron Rodgers.0 -

Yes, at least Goo rose above the racist card waving on that thread and came back "Arran, you are like the Tony Benn of smut. You have never diluted your depravity and always stand by your beliefs. You have my respect sir and your wife my pity"

Considering you previously went on several page long rants against Islam it was at the very least curious why you mentioned Mohammed as a name. I didn't say your post is racist but out of all the names that could have sparked interest you alighted on that one. Anyway, as long as you don't go on tirades against Islam I am happy.Mr Goo wrote:Ballysmate wrote:Phil_D wrote:Ballysmate wrote:nathancom wrote:

I am not sure what relevance the Gaza situation has on this at all. Maybe you can enlighten me.0 -
Have you noticed that parents, (particularly those in show business), that burden their offspring with stupid names, usually have perfectly normal names themselves?
Before you name your child Apple, how about changing your own name to Banana and see how you like it......___________________________________________
