An odious woman!

I had to have a saint's name for my middle name too. Then another saint's name when I was confirmed.
I looked at the Wikipedia entries for Hopkins - she is even worse than I thought.

She's on the Wright Stuff discussing the name thing now.

Yes, and still odious!

Doesn't do herself any favours, does she? I noticed a distinct twinkle in her eye when Matthew Wright commented that this latest issue about names must be bringing in lots of media opportunties for her.

I fell about laughing when I heard the name of my pal's boyfriend. I though it was so old fashioned...then I went on to marry him!

When I named my daughters I was avoiding association with kids I had taught and only knew adults with the names I eventually chose...as soon as I had named them the world as littered with other kids with the same names!

I know of recent babies named Stanley, Ivy, Mabel, Esme, Aggie, Bertie, Matilda,Vera & Sidney but no Jane, Susan, Ann, Linda or Mark, Paul, Steven or Peter!
I once taught a Japanese child whose parents, despite being advised differently , decided to give their child an English name to use at school! They chose Brian!!

Fashion is a funny thing!

The two most recent babies in our family (great nephew and niece) are George and Caitlin. George's big brother is Ralph which at first I thought rather old-blimp-ish, but it has grown on me.

I like Ralph shortened to Rafe .

We wanted our son, who is now 23, to have a traditional Norwegian middle name and so gave him the name Kai. Since then it's become very popular in the UK and is regarded in the same way as Chantelle, Charmaine etc. One of my daughter's, now 37, has a name that was chosen because of a biblical link, but then many years later was popularised by a character in East Enders and again is now regarded as a 'modern' name.
As for children's friends not being allowed to come and play because of their name...what on earth would the odious woman have made of my daughter's best friend at junior school; Nomolongelo?

Re. the amount of men she had had (or borrowed!) -fire and mantelpiece spring to mind! What an odious woman!

I watched her on The Wright Stuff and she was just as nasty but I did get the feeling she was exaggerating just to get attention. The audience did not like her at all and never applauded. She thought an Angolan who was being deported and died at the hands of G4S staff had put himself into a dangerous situation by his own behaviour.

She's at it again! Over the last few weeks she has also claimed that employers should reject anyone fat, and that people with northern accents sound stupid!
I think the only one sounding stupid is Katie Hopkins. I know she is paid to be controversial so I shouldn't allow myself to be outraged. but can't help it.

Why does this thread title always make me laugh?!

"Odious". Does anyone really use that expression?

Sorry Bluebs!

Oh no. It was Greatnan!

That's different. Altogether.

'Odious' does sum her up well!

Really?

Oh, you mean the celeb!

I think it's being too nice.
Did you hear/read what she said about red hair? "Ginger babies, just like real babies but so much harder to love" Our second grandson has the most wonderful head of bright ginger red hair and I would marmelize anybody who "dissed" him. I haven't even dared tell DD what the ODIOUS woman siad [apopletic] emoticon

Our oldest GS has beautiful red hair , and was very much admired as a baby.

And as a toddler also !

Obnoxious I'd use for that pony b*tc*

But my question is, what watch this rubbish on telly in the first place- all these shows are to create a reaction. A bit like reading the gutter press.
So many other things to do with one's time, surely.

Sorry 'why watch'..

Sometimes you just have to watch such stuff, out of horrible fascination. It's a bit like looking at a disgusting insect. Also, you cannot ignore hate-rants. They have to be dealt with, or they might grow in influence.

Lucky for me, that apology for a woman is not on our (Australian) TV. We have or own horrors, such as radio shock jocks.

Don't and didn't Granjura but still heard about it/her.
