eh.
Those posts are annoying me as much as the "Name my SIMS/MMORPG" posts. It's a baby names community yanno.
That's my hormonal rant.

Date: 2006-05-05 04:45 am (UTC)I don't see a point in stopping them, as they are more or less on 'topic'. So I guess I will have to supress the urge to be mean and try to ignore them ;) Hopefully it'll become boring and they will go elewhere with that.
Hopefully.

Date: 2006-05-05 05:05 am (UTC)I also feel like this community is not baby names, but rather "i'm changing my name, what should i change it to" or "hey, help me name my new RPG/fanfic mary sue!"

Date: 2006-05-05 06:58 am (UTC)I kind of like reading everyone's alphabet names. I see some really really interesting ones that way.
I'm not anywhere near pregnant, so I guess I will try to keep my questions to myself. They won't have anything to do with babies. Just names.

Date: 2006-05-05 07:13 am (UTC)I don't really have a problem with the alphabet meme or things like that, just the rating-community-ish picture posting.
Which, like I said, I'll gladly ignore if it's CUT so I don't have to look at some stranger's face on my friends page. I'm sure people will get bored of it soon.

Date: 2006-05-05 05:22 am (UTC)If it's CUT, I have not problem ignoring it. But when some unknown teenage girl's face shows up on your friends' page in all its glory TWICE in as many days, well, you can't ignore that.
Sigh. Maybe I'm just old and bitter ;)
Also!! Since when is it a good idea to post a picture of yourself WITH your full name for all the internet to see? Geez.

Date: 2006-05-05 06:28 am (UTC)Sorry about that, girls. I'll make a note to stay on topic from now on. But since I'm new to the Livejournal experience, how do I make a cut?

Date: 2006-05-05 06:33 am (UTC)or to make a cut with text:
<*lj-cut= "REPLACE WITH CHOICE TEXT"*> and <*/lj-cut*>

Date: 2006-05-05 06:28 am (UTC)If people want to post a couple pictures in a cut and have people suggest some names, why not?
soooooooooooooo yeah. thats my op.

Date: 2006-05-05 03:15 pm (UTC)It's kind of discriminatory to assume that all I (and other members) were looking for were compliments, you know what they say of assumuntions... "it makes an ASS of U and ME". hehe. I understand your concern though, I deleted my former post. <3

Date: 2006-05-05 02:21 pm (UTC)But I quite like the fact that people are asking what names suit them, I think it's really interesting to see what kind of names people associate with certain looks. I was thinking of doing it myself but I'm a bit embaressed to do so now. I must admit I found it annoying when people were posting and complimenting people on their appearance. I made a point not to.
I like the fact that this community is not strictly a baby names community as I am not pregnant and won't be for a very long time (if ever). I think I would alos find it a bit depressing if every post was by someone wanting help with the naming of a baby - because I want one!!
