Snobbery about children's names

Some of us do cringe when we hear children being called sometimes weird and sometimes silly names, but stopping our children play with them because their names denote their class and intellectual ability is more than insufferable snobbery. It is the worst kind of discrimination.

This 'intellectual' (Hopkins) declared she didn’t like geographical names such as Brooklyn or London and when Phillip Schofield, a presenter of the programme, pointed out that her own daughter’s name is India. "Not a location", she replied.

Rather than creating a children's apartheid, we should be finding out what prompts people to call their children crazy names. And by the way it is not just working class parents who have a penchant for some of the strangest names, some celebrities do it too. I bet Hopkins would have no problem with her kids playing with their children, but they might have with hers.
