It doesn't really work as a gag with an Irish/Scottish accent.PS - Also heard a woman calling out "BEYONCE!!!" in a park in Dublin.

Fine line between humour and smug middle class superiority.

Twirly Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 But the middle classes are some of the worst offenders... Tbh, it's more of a cultural differences issue, since a couple of the names I found funny are non-UK. And I am sure that other cultures would find some of our names funny since they sound like something rude in their language.As for the made up names or unusual ones, I may think they sound silly, but at least they involve a bit of imagination.
