What's in a name? (Hopkins vs Willoughby)

Now I do agree that some names are more common in the Jeremy Kyle crowd but to actually judge a child on the value of their name is pretty harsh. She's such a massive snob. I've seen her talking to people on that show before and she comes across as a massive bitch. What is her reason for being on tv?
 
loads of not well off people do well at school... and the types her kids would associate with wouldn't be from council estates in rough areas anyway.
they probably aren't even the types of families we imagine anyway but middle class lol

anyway this woman is called "katie"

katie price... enough said
 
Heh. I never knew this until browsing. I don't know whats really sad, the fact that they had a discussion on this or the fact that it's riled up so many people. Yet this is all nothing but trivia.

Twitter/forum tv it's become? I really cannot get over how they thrive what people say on twitter and have to share it on tv. How sad. I'm so glad I don't get to see daytime tv.

Okay shes mental.
 
I person's name tells you nothing about them because they didn't choose it (usually). It does tell you a little about the parents though. I wouldn't read too much into it though: most people know otherwise perfectly sensible and middle-class parents (and let's face it, this theory is all about class) who have given their children cringeworthy names that wouldn't sound out of place on an estate playground.
 
She has a point, but she should have known better than to go against the hysterical left and one of the darlings of the "omg we're so PC" oik brigade. But of course the producers of the show knew this would happen and now everybody loves Holly Willoughby even more. Aww, ain't she sweet.

Can't trust what's on TV anyway, they probably all had a good laugh about it afterwards.
 
Apparently she doesn't like any footballer names. So I guess she'll think less of you if your name is Joe, Steve, Andrew, Jonathon, Gary, Philip, Jack, Luke, Alan, Seb, Warren, Callum, Wayne, Michael, Robert, Jermaine, Emmanuel, Robin, Dennis, Thierry, Zinedine, Tony, Martin, Adam, Rick, Shaun... or basically every name in existence.
 
This is hilarious.

I'm not sure whether the outraged guest or presenters are funnier than Hopkins. The outrage is rather precious.
 
Which part are you confused by? Did you watch the clip?

Or are you just pretending to be confused to try to make some ridiculous point about "oh you can't judge a book by its cover, I'm so wonderful everybody and take myself ever so seriously."

Yes i have seen the clip, the point was deluded, she is deluded, total nonsense.

Funnily enough, my name would have allowed me access to be her children's friend, but when I was young parents wouldn't let me spend time with their kids because I was a bad influence, not because of my name. So any assumption there could have ended up going very badly indeed!
