There's this freshman girl in my school. Her name?

Precious

A friend of mine commented that she liked the name. Frankly, I think it's horrible, trashy, and fit for a chihuahua with a diamond studded collar.

...Maybe this community thinks otherwise?

I think to each their own, theres plenty of baby names I think are stupid but...its not my baby. I think its horrible to name your child precious, angel, or heaven. Its absurd.

When I was in high school, I took a swimming class with a girl named Precious. I don't know if I think it's trashy, but I didn't like it then and I don't like it now.

The only name that is worse in that genre is Fancy.

HAHAHA that was my great grandfather's wife's cat when I was growing up. And she spoiled that horrid thing absolutely rotten.

So yes, to me it sounds like an old lady's diamond-stud-collared pet.

Also, sexy icon y'got thar.

Why is that so familiar? There was a tv show... or a movie... where there was a person named Precious? Ring a bell for anyone besides me? It's something I can't quite remember and it's making me crazy.

I knew a girl named Precious Bubala (for the record, she wasn't Jewish at all) She was actually a really awesome person, I liked her a lot. Not too crazy about the name, but I think more of the person than the name

In the Mighty Boosh they had an episode where they are stranded on a desert island and start talking to coconuts to have someone to talk to. One of the girl coconuts they interact with is named Precious. Rather obscure, but that is what I thought of.

Uh no, I would have to say that I agree with you.

Haha, I agree with you too. It must be so awkward to introduce yourself: 'Hi, I'm Precious.'

It reminds me of a Friends episode, in which Phoebe meets Mike's ex-girlfriend, who is called Precious, and Phoebe is like: 'Yeah...I can't say that. I'm going to call you Suzy.'

I once met a girl named Justa Precious Wonder Lastname. Which is horrifying, and her parents were clearly high, but at least she can go by Justa.

My little brother went to school with a "Sparkle"....I think that's even worse, but Precious IS pretty bad.

That's my cat's name. I named it after the nurse monkey on Passions. It is not a people name.

Did you ever watch Passions?

The soap opera Passions had a monkey named Precious.

The main character in The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books is named Precious Ramotswe. That's what I immediately think of...
