1 A walking tour of gentrification from Dalston to London Fields On the 28th of September 2008 there was a walking tour of Dalston and Hackney Central to examine gentrification in these areas, and this is a booklet produced to accompany it. The idea for the tour was born when Dalston resident and Poet Michael Rosen attacked the way Dalston is being regenerated with an article in the paper Socialist Worker on the 6th of May Rosen said; But it hasn t been regenerated for the people living and working there. They ve been shoved out. The only thing that s been regenerated are the profits of the property companies and it s the Labour council tipping our money into their pockets that has enabled them to do it. Regeneration? Degeneration, more like. Jules Pipe, Mayor of Hackney responded by accusing Michael Rosen of being part of a far left contingent that wanted to keep Hackney crap, to which Rosen responded: The point is, I don t think Hackney is crap. I ve never thought Hackney is crap. I ve never thought that the wrong people were living in Hackney. However, I do think the council is crap. The accusation arcs back to Pipe himself. Perhaps he thinks Hackney and its people are crap and it s his job to see it bulldozed, replanned and the people moved on. A different matter altogether. Burnt houses on Ashwin st, Dalston On the walking tour we will go to see and hear for ourselves and ask what is happening in this area. Who is in control of the changes and who are they for? Who is being hurt by them? Is this somewhere we are going to be able to live in a few years time, if we sit back and watch things develop, or will we be regenerated out of the area? This booklet aims to give a space to let a few of the voices we will hear on the tour tell us what they see happening to their locality.
2 DALSTON SQUARE: Barratt homes is working on the Dalston Square development site that will be over 550 new homes, shops, a library and archive, plus a brand new station for the East London line extension at Dalston Junction. Alastair Baird of Barratt homes has said: In my view, Dalston Square is the next big piece of the London jigsaw the regeneration project that will finally lift Hackney into another league. Judging by the amount of advance interest, the market seems to think so, too. Two of the authors of this booklet visited the marketing suite to check out what was on offer and it became obvious that local and low income people were not the ones being catered for. The saleswoman told us 77% of phase one had been sold; half to buy to let investors and the other half to first time buyers from the City; living in zone two, working in zone one. She pointed to the tube map blown up on the wall to show that the new line would connect Dalston to Shadwell, just a couple of stops from Canary Wharf. She also reassured us that the shop units around Dalston Square had been restricted and that there wouldn t be any smelly fast food outlets like in the rest of Dalston, the shops would be boutiques and a small Marks and Spencer for when you run out of milk. Barrett Homes had aspirations for Dalston she said, pointing at pictures of Shoreditch, Hoxton and Broadway Market. The new residents of Dalston Square can purchase secure underground parking for a mere 20,000 and jump on the tube without leaving the Square. It seems they will be effectively insulated from interaction with the other residents, the ones for whom affordable does not begin at 250,000 for a one bedroom. Now demolished and under the coming development is the historic Four Aces club which was occupied as a protest for over a year. The Four Aces and Cubies were important socializing places for the black community. A letter to the Hackney Gazette on the 30th of March 2006 said These days we are under attack again, not from racists with baseball bats, but from developers, middle class property owners and the New Labour council that supports them. Dalston Square advertising Juan s story of The Sound and Music Shop at 66 Dalston Lane. I had rented my shop for thirty years from Hackney council when in 2002 they told us that this row of sixteen shops was up for sale. After the Council ran out of money to pay for essential services the Government told them they had to sell their commercial properties, including these sixteen shops. They gave us a rough price guide for the properties and they told us we had to go to auction. I rang a Mr Scott, in the council to ask why I had to go to the auction to buy my shop. He said that they had to get the best price so they could pay for more services. I asked if I paid more then the estimate could I keep it out of the auction, and he told me to add 20,000 to the asking price, and put that offer in writing, which I did, believing him when he said he would sort it out with the auctioneer. After I sent the letter I couldn t get him on the phone again, he was either on leave or he was in a meeting. I went to the auction and when our lot came up the auctioneer said We ll try to sell it as one lot. We had been told our shops would be sold as individual lots. There was someone there talking to Dubai on a mobile phone who bought all sixteen for 1.8 million. We were conned out of our shops because we didn t have a chance to club together and buy them. The buildings are listed and so the owners have not been able to get planning permission for the flats they want to build. In the six years since the sale there have been four or five mysterious fires. There was a massive fire next door that took three buildings down and burnt half our roof. There were 35 firemen who saved my shop and two squatters had to jump out of the window to escape the fire. The bakers that were on this stretch for over 45 years were made to leave when the owners got planning permission to do work, but since then the shop has sat empty and no work has been done. Dalston Lane shops after the fires The whole stretch has deteriorated. Now the council says they are negotiating to buy the properties back but that after that we will still have to leave. If they had sold them to us individually then all the shops would have been open because it doesn t pay you, as a small business, to keep your shop empty. At the moment we still feel insecure because we don t know what is going to happen. It doesn t look like we are part of the Council s plans for the future. It is not good to throw out your local shops.
3 Juan in the the Sound and Music Shop on Dalston Lane The battle of Broadway Market. Broadway Market runs picturesquely from London Fields down to the Regent s canal. A short stroll from the trendy bars of Hoxton and Shoreditch, over the last few years it has developed its own rash of middle-class boutiques, delis and gastro - pubs. While some celebrate the gentrification-fuelled rebirth of Broadway Market and the consolidation of its brand identity with the advent of an organic farmer s market catering to inhabitants of the area s mushrooming yuppie apartments, less affluent residents have mainly been victims, not beneficiaries, of this striking transformation. The locals, however, have not taken the process lying down.. In November 2005 members of the local community occupied Francesca's Cafe on Broadway market and held many protests and public meetings. The focus was on Tony Platia who was evicted from the cafe he has run for 31 years and Lowell 'Spirit' Grant who has been threatened with the same treatment. Tony & Spirit are popular local figures who run shops used Francesca s cafe occupied! by local working people who can t afford to use the new boutiques and up market cafes that have sprung up in Broadway Market. What has been achieved has demonstrated the power of independent action. The astonishing re-building of the cafe on Boxing Day 2005 after the developer evicted protesters and tore it apart demonstrated the power of collective action. This defiant act strengthened the resolve of those involved and made them more confident. "This is where I was born, I've seen the changes going around. People have come in and taken over everything and local people are moving out. My family has been pushed out right and left. What those people did to Tony & Spirit is totally out of order. If all of us had got together in the first place this would never have happened. If you don't like whats happening around you have to stand up and be counted. It's been nice to see those responsible having to look over their shoulders as everyday people take over" Floyd, Broadway Market [thanks to Mute and Hackney independant]
4 A statement from Sprit: In 1993 I realized that I could no longer operate on the streets serving food to dances and on street corners where the black community would gather. Laws were changing regarding street trading so I took the opportunity to find a base where I could operate a business. I found 71 Broad - way Market although it was a totally derelict building I thought it was worth the sac - rifice to put it into good use and I was unable to actually afford any other property. It took me six years from 1993 to renovate the property. Hackney council gave me a 10 year lease dating from 1995 to After renovating the property I began trading in 2000 selling fresh vegetables and fish and Tropical food and lived above the shop. But in 2001 the Council decid - ed to sell off the property. I was notified one month prior to the date of sale, without any information about who to contact to purchase the prop - erty. I was advised by resi - dents in the community how to purchase the property and told to contact Nelson Bakewell who were the estate agents acting on behalf of Hackney Council. I was told that I could attend their offices on the 13th of December and submit my deposit of 10% of the cost of the property- 100,000. I attended their offices, signed a docu - ment and handed over my cheque of 10,000 with the belief that I had secured the pur - chase of my property. I left the offices and went to the auction rooms to observe the auction. Surprisingly my home was offered again and sold for 85,000! I was ejected from the auction rooms because I tried to raise objections to this. Six days later my cheque was returned without explana - tion. I began writing numerous let - ters to the different depart - ments of Hackney Council to try and find out who my new landlords actually were but I couldn t find out. But a year and a half later the landlord s agent decided to start harassing me with bailiffs and a large back - dated increase in rent up by 1200%. Because I wasn t sure who I was supposed to be paying the rent to and the increase was so high I was withholding the rent you can t give money to people you don t know and it was too much money. The case has been to court and the landlord has claimed that I owe him over 30,000 in back - dated rent. The court decided that this money has to be paid to the new landlord otherwise I would be evicted. I have now no choice but to pay back some of the arrears in rent which I ve contested all along as unfair. In the meantime I am making the best of efforts to pay off the arrears with the help of a fundraising campaign from the local community who have been very sympathetic to my quest for Justice. I am presently trying to take Hackney Council to court for their mishandling of the sale of my home and business. I would like to invite one and all who acknowledge my taste for good food from the late 70s un - til now to come along to my shop at: 71 Broadway Market E8, The Spirit in the Nutrtritous Food Gallery
5 Homeless in Hackney: With affordable places to rent becoming more and more scarce and Council housing being sold off as quickly as possible, we re fortunate to have Hackney s Housing Needs Centre on Wilton Way housing homeless and inadequately housed people. After queuing up for the day you might get an out of date list of landlords that once upon a time took housing benefit, or be offered a council flat if you agree to move to the North of England. If you meet all the criteria for Hackney Council to have an obligation to immediately house you, they ll offer you help with a rent deposit on a private flat, provided you can find one yourself. When a homeless person with children, or a dis - ability, or who is more vulnerable than average approaches the council, they have a duty to im - mediately house them. Unfortunately, that s not what happens. In 2004, local authorities were given a government mandate to reduce homeless - ness. Instead of reducing homelessness by housing people, councils have instead been discouraging as many people as possible from making homelessness applications. If they don t take an application, the statistics don t get recorded, and the num - ber of homeless people is magically reduced. It s been a very effective strategy between September 2004 and December 2007, the number of successful homeless applicants in England has dropped from 32,220 to 15,240, a decline of 53 percent. People dealing with homelessness and in dire straits come to the centre every day to be turned away and told by the council that there s nothing they can do. Mostly people don t know that they have a legal right to housing, and even if they do and have a good solicitor behind them, the council still does everything in its power to stop anyone from getting housed. For the last year the Lon - don Coalition Against Poverty has been supporting people through direct action casework to make sure they don t get turned away onto the streets. This means demanding your rights with loads of people standing behind you refusing to leave, which can be much more effective than doing it on your own! Hostel residents and London Coalition Against Poverty demonstrate at Hackney town hall Alexandra Court Hostel When the Council does accept their duty to house homeless people they are most likely to find themselves living in a council managed hostel like Alexandra Court off Kingsland High St while they wait for the council to make a decision on their case. Decisions should be made in around six weeks, but often people receive no decision for a year, or are trapped in lengthy review and appeal processes. In April 2008 residents of Alexandra Court temporary accommodation and the London Coalition Against Poverty demonstrated for improvements because: Residents have to pay up to 350 per week for dirty corridors used by addicts and prostitutes, and rooms infested with mice and bed bugs. The heating and hot water hardly ever works, there s no lock on the building gate, and only flimsy ones on individual rooms. The fire alarm frequently goes off in the middle of the night for hours at a time. Children are scared, and their education is suffering. For residents of temporary accommodation sky high rents only gets you one bedroom, no matter how many people are in your family. Conditions are bad; with windows falling off in people s rooms, pipes gushing water onto corridors and broken cookers and lifts going unfixed for months. Alexandra Court residents got some things like a security door- sorted out when they demonstrated, but the struggle for better conditions continues and some other hostels are even worse. Hostel residents feel that the level of rent is not just a way for the Council to make money, it also keeps them in poverty, making them reliant on benefits even if they work. Often the Council miscalculates residents housing benefit and then moves to evict the homeless family because they themselves have not paid the rent. Hostel residents across the borough are paying luxury rent for poverty conditions where else but temporary accommodation would you pay over 300 a week to share one bathroom with several families?

6 Gentrification in Hackney Gentrification is a process in which lowcost, physically deteriorated neighborhoods experience physical renovation and an increase in property values, along with an influx of wealthier residents who displace the neighborhood's original inhabitants. Ruth Glass 1963 In the 1960's London was a city with a large manufacturing base and a large working class population who lived in large areas of poor quality rented terraced housing in the Inner City. This traditional London began to change dramatically in the 1960s and early 1970s as manufacturing industry declined and new council estates replaced poor quality private renting. In 1961 about a third of the population worked in manufacturing and distribution. About ten per cent of the population worked in finance and business services. Today, as a result of the growth in importance of the City of London as a command and control centre for multinational companies operating in the global economy, about 40% of London's daytime working population is employed in finance, business services and the creative industries with about 10% left working in light industries. This has entailed huge changes in the residential occupancy of large swathes of the Inner City. Young professionals who had access to deposits and could meet mortgage repayments have been replacing and displacing working class families. The supply of cheap period houses for conversion to single family residences in the more attractive parts of the inner city dried up rapidly, aided by the four house price booms of the early and late 1970s, the second half of the 1980s and the second half of the 1990s. As a consequence, potential gentrifiers had to look further afield within London and the conversion of old warehouses, factories, offices and churches have pushed the process into City fringe areas. The price escalation of the recent years of cheap credit combined with government encouragement of high density new builds has produced the latest phase of gentrification. This is apparent in the rash of high rise blocks appearing along Stratford High Street and in the pressure upon Council Estate residents to defer to infill schemes like 'Estates Plus' in Hackney. Price escalation and pressure for new builds is accelerated by urban infrastructure improvements brought forward by the Olympics project and the Stratford City developments Unfortunately the deepening recession, brought on by the 'credit crunch', may eventually bring about a 25% drop in property prices which may well not return to former levels until We are already seeing a number of recent gentrifiers sliding into mortgage defaults. Whatever meager numbers of new-build 'affordable' homes were planned as part of the Olympic and Stratford City developments are now very unlikely to be built. Gentrifiers now live predominantly in Victorian terraces, often alongside remnants of the original poor still in rented flats and middles class renters in recent 'buy-to-let' conversions. With the loss of skilled working class residents rich middle class gentrifiers are closely intermingled with council estates of the underemployed poor. This intermingling can be seen by looking at the streets between Dalston and London Fields.

- "I spend every day tending to the fields and what do my daughters do? Nothing! Complain and caterwaul! Sleep and eat! Useless!"
- ―Lemkil[src]
Lemkil is a Nord farmer living in the settlement of Rorikstead, where he tends to his farm.
Lemkil has two daughters, Sissel and Britte, who, much to his chagrin, do not help with the farm. When he is not working on his farm, Lemkil can be found in Frostfruit Inn complaining about his daughters. His wife died in childbirth. According to dialogue from Sissel and Britte, it is implied that Lemkil is abusive to them.
- He will purchase potatoes, leeks, and cabbages.
- If the Dragonborn kills Lemkil, his daughter Sissel may send a letter saying, "I know you killed him. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. In fact, I wanted to thank you. He will not be missed."
- If Lemkil is killed, a Letter of Inheritance may be sent to the Dragonborn if he was helped previously.
- He is a possible target for the "Rescue Mission."
- Lemkil will send a letter to the player character if Jouane Manette is killed, saying
"I am aware of your recent assault on Jouane Manette. Rest assured that I have no interest in that particular matter. I do, however, have an interest in your willingness to employ force when the need arises. If you are willing to assist me, I will gladly pay for your troubles. Next time you are visiting Rorikstead, please call on me."
He will not give any quests when he is approached but if the Dragonborn assaults one of his daughters, a quest marker will say "Report success to Lemkil." If Lemkil is approached after, he will say, "Ha! There's nothing like a few cuts and bruises to drive home a point, huh?" then 50 gold will be received, but the quest will not be completed.
- "Do yourself a favor and don't have children; they're good for nothing at all."
- "I have enough troubles so don't go adding to them."
- "I spend every day tending to the fields and what do my daughters do? Nothing! Complain and caterwaul! Sleep and eat! Useless!"
- "Curse my good-for-nothing daughters! My wife is twice the woman they will ever grow up to be. She gave her life birthing them. What a waste."

IOWA CITY -- Iowa football players have been picking up the tempo out of necessity.
New offensive coordinator Greg Davis said today the Hawkeyes have spent more time in up-tempo and no-huddle offensive looks than they have in recent seasons, something he expects to use at times during the 2012 season.
"The one thing defensive coordinators will tell you is that if you no-huddle all the time, their guys will adjust to the pace," Davis said. "What we like to do is mix it up a bit, change tempos and keep the pressure on the defense."
Davis echoed sentiments expressed by Iowa quarterback James Vandenberg on Tuesday, saying he has been impressed with the skill and development of Iowa's tight ends.
Davis said he has been pleased with what he has seen from the running backs as well.
Iowa will be without one of its projected starting receivers when it hosts a noon public practice Saturday at Kinnick Stadium.
Keenan Davis will miss practices this week with what was labeled a "minor" injury. Davis declined to provide additional details.
Iowa's Shane DiBona will miss the workout as well, also because of an injury. Defensive coordinator Phil Parker declined to say if the setback was related to the Achilles injury which kept DiBona off the field last season.

Dieting industrial plant. The reality is that dominant the amount and or strain of feed consumed does oftentimes front to weight loss. So in marrow fast works-it leads to weight loss.
It does not be to substance considerably which fare is fixed. And in that is a vast array of diets to pick out from. What matters is that you club to the restrictions of the fare. If you wand to the diet, probability are smashing that you will miss weight.
It is too true, more 90% of the time, dieters breakthrough the redundant weight speedily returns onetime they pause fast. This is not especially best information.Post ads:

Who requirements to be on a incessant diet? Most family end up fancy disadvantaged in one way or different. Either they cannot have the foods they lust and love, or they cannot eat when or how a great deal they poorness. It is these feelings of person bounded and pitiable that atomic number 82 lots to overlook their diets.
When it comes to drinking habits, society are unenthusiastic to rework. They may realize that they are intake too overmuch or ingestion the not right foods, but they dilly-dally doing anything in the region of it. Their catchword is mean solar day I will foundation consumption improved and fetching charge of myself.
Until all of a sudden it is merely cardinal months or worse yet one calendar month until the wedding, reunion, or separate case that they impoverishment to facial expression fab for.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Interesting Castle well restored. Lovely location in quiet town, new rooms pleasant but no view, old ones in Castle very good. Food good but over-priced, no simple meals available. Could not organise better rooms easily.
The courtyard is a blissful, relaxing area and the upper verandah has exquisite views of the courtyard and the storks nesting in the trees just outside. The service staff were delightful, particularly Santiago in the bar and the charming waitress in the dining room.Fabulous building and beautiful surroundings. The hotel had construction outside, on the roof (with strong smell and noise) and in the interior en route to our room. The first day it was not too bad as it was public holiday but on the second day it was excessive. The hotel sent champagne to compensate but there had been no advice on the web site that the hotel was under renovations.
Very nice hotel, good facilities and friendly helpful staff.
Great location; one of the nicest Paradors we've stayed in
Delightful dinner in the entrance courtyard; great sense of history by staying in this old castle; great swimming-pool area Certain areas currently under renovation so difficult to get good pictures, work scheduled to finish end July.
the interesting old building. The surrounding countryside. The 31 Euro Dinner menu gave limited choice but food was interesting and of a good standard. Little English was spoken by most staff though they were helpful and friendly.
The spa.
The location is very peaceful; the rooms very comfortable. Our lack of Spanish and their lack of English made ordering dinner, and an early breakfast, a bit of an exercise!
views, setting Restaurant is too enclosed, breakfast, need to pay extra to use pool no outdoor sitting area and place is in an excellent location !
breakfast price
I stayed one night booking.com and a further 6 nights in conference.I think the hotel is poor. I cannot imagine anyone staying there in the winter. It is a gracious building and in a pleasant area. Possibly good for walkers. The majority of the rooms are not 4 star quality - no views (obstructed by fire escapes) - at least one with only a skylight. Mine was ground floor with a path outside and no curtains. Cleanliness is dubious -ants among the breakfast bread, and on the floor of the dining room. Dead flies in my bedroom not removed for three days. No outdoor pool or any kind of exterior seating seating. To say that it has gardens simply isn't true. There are areas of roughly cut field. Indoor pool/spa/gym poor and expensive. Should be free. Local village is typical, but it is too far to walk comfortably and offers little entertainment. Not much in the way of local information and no newspapers of any kind.
We selected the hotel Izan Puerta de Gredos for its location close to "Sierra de Gredos". The atmosphere and the location of the hotel were excellent, relaxing surroundings and the access to the mountains, nature and picturesque villages was easy. The room was comfortable and the breakfast had a good selection of products.
It was a very good stay. Very quite and relaxing. I booked the room with SPA included. But at the reception was told that the SPA should be booked first. Had no chance to use the SPA. I would recommend not to book room with SPA. Book that service directly at the hotel.
The hotel is a beautifully converted historic buiding set in the superb countryside of the Gredos mountains. There is a degree of designer flair in the room conversions and reception areas and all the staff we met were extremely helpful. The hotel is quite difficult to find and better maps are needed. It is too far to walk to the local town (El Barco de Avila), and a trip into the town for dinner was disappointing. (These comments are not of course criticisms of the hotel)
The location was excellent, in the countryside near the North slopes of Sierra de Gredos. The room (double level) was luxurius.. The double level room is not appropriate for a family with a very young child (3 years), especially when it was no possible to place the 3 beds on the same floor. Use of swimming pool was extra charged !!. Breakfast was also charged 15 euros/person extra. Staff do not speak English at all so communication was difficult even for simple requests.
The hotel stands in its own grounds and is well away from the nearest town which has absolutely nothing to commend it. The reformation of this historic building is very interesting and makes for an enjoyable experience, and is a nice change from the typical new hotels that seem to be everywhere. The breakfast was acceptable, but certainly not up to the standard that one would expect at a four star hotel.
The room was exceptionally spacious and comfortable with two armchairs and a terrace with mountain river view. The staff were friendly and very helpful despite being nervous with foreigners as they tried to understand our fluent Portuguese, our broken Spanish, and they had no understanding of English. A new hotel clearly making an effort to improve and we will probably return. The wifi stopped working completely after an initial successful login. The breakfast is basic. The restaurant is overpriced. Food is standard (low quality) hotel fare presented in style and priced at luxury rates. Fortunately plenty of choice 1 km down the road.
The view from my room was marvelous no
The rooms are spacious, comfortable and quiet. The continental breakfast included in room fare is quite good. We enjoyed the scenic location and the friendly staff.
The hotel was very new, quiet and the staff were very friendly. I would definately recommend the hotel. Breakfast was taken in a downstairs room which was very dark, which was a shame.
large and free parking, very comfortable large beds and spacious room and balcony that opened to the riverside. really quiet and nice the sound of the river and view on mountains. the bathroom was very well equipped incuding toothbrush set, sewing set, shaving set etc. :) the village is very close (1km) but it is complicated to go there walking because there is no light on the road so you risk by being hit by a car, then again if you take the car there is enough parking space in the entrance of the village.
great hotel, good location, excellent room, great price. no

Do you think if you really are something you don't need to prove it by name choice?(77 Posts)
I have a really edgy, creative friend who is also married to a very quirky artistic guy. Their kids are called Edward (after his grandfather), Laura and Hugo.
I also know another couple - she is a designer, he is a composer - and their dd is called Alice.
All lovely names but quite ordinary.
On the other hand I know people who are not particularly arty but have bent over backwards to find 'creative' or 'different' names for their DC.
I was just wondering if people sometimes try to compensate for something they lack but would like to have when choosing their DCs names??
Are you writing about me?
Op, you have two of my ordinary children's names in your post.
I have a degree in art and also did fashion in college so come from an artsy background. My husband from a science background. He wanted less artsy names.
I think I' m getting what you are trying to say.
Do you mean the life they would like to have? Choosing arty names or you saying people are pretentious?
I think there is an element of that in names. Surely names can be aspirational.
I do think that people with more unusual or imaginative names tend to lead more creative and interesting lives. My two DSs have names that I really like, but that I also hope will be useful to them when they're older, if only by making them more memorable. They're not massively 'out there' names, just not quite run-of-the-mill either.
Just because a child has an unusual name it does not mean the parent picked it to say something about themselves. Personally I think each to their own and it really and truly is absolutely none of your business why or what anybody chooses for their child's name!!
"I do not think that people who name their children John and people who name their children Atticus have different reasons for doing so.
It is generally the people who name their children John who insist that people who name their children Atticus are doing it for attention etc.
I wonder why the John. Sophie, Harry, Olivia etc owners feel the need to prove that the Atticus, Levi, Pheonix, Liberty etc owners are selfish/attention seeking/insecure blah blah."
Absolutely. Our kids have names that some mumsnetters describe 'poncy' or 'pretentious'..... We chose the names simply because we love them and because they sound great with our short common surname! Why are others so bothered about this? Why are they implying that we had any ulterior motives?
Why are people so obsessed with reading so much into other peoples' name choices? Surely most people choose a name because they like the sound of it and they think it will identify the child.
MrsDeVere you make a good point but the same goes for the "not in the top 100!!" people who insist that any name that IS is dull and unimaginative. I have read many posts where people have said they would consider the parents to be dull and unimaginative based on their use of reasonably popular names. Why don't they just assume that those parents just loved Harry as much as they themselves love Otis or whatever?!
way to out yourself OP! name all your friend's DCs!
I work in the film industry and DH is a creative director. DS has a name that is 'different' - its been recently used by a well known musician but otherwise is rare these days.
I'm confused by your post - were we supposed to call him James?
Personally I like top 10 and classic boys and girls names. Elizabeth, Olivia, Michael and Jack are among my favourites. But there are personal and family resonances in his name that made it right for him.
"MrsDeVere you make a good point but the same goes for the "not in the top 100" people who insist that any name that IS is dull and unimaginative. I have read many posts where people have said they would consider the parents to be dull and unimaginative"
But finding a name dull and unimaginative is not the same as saying the parents are dull and unimaginative. The OP, though, is impying that the parents who choose less common names 'have something to prove'!
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I think you have a point OP. I know people who I would probably describe as 'aspirational' who have some
comical very unusual names for their children.
I think some people are instinctively drawn to names that are unusual or different.
But some people turn it into a task; 'do you think this name is a bit ordinary' or 'we want a name that is really different and are looking for suggestions'. I just don't think someone who is genuinely 'different' or 'creative' would bother pondering so much over a name that would stand out; they would either choose one instinctively or just not worry about it.
Some people do choose names that have a certain image attached to them, in my opinion.
I like unusual names. Not trying to prove anything if and when I do use them. I just like them.
For example, Olivia is absolutely lovely but I infinitely prefer Aurelia. What does that prove? Not much beyond I prefer one to the other!
But that's my point Alisvolatpropils. You instinctively are attracted to unusual names - fine. But some people come on here specifically asking posters to suggest names that are 'different' or 'cool' or 'unusual' so that they can use them for their child. They're basically not choosing a name they instinctively like, but are asking other people to suggest a name based on an 'image' they want to portray.
Fair enough if people want to do that, but I was just pondering if it is a way of trying to portray themselves in a way that is contrary to what they are. I'm not judging, just wondering. We all do it in different ways - choice of clothes, furniture etc. I don't know why a couple of people are getting so stroppy about it.
My dc have unusual names - there's never been anyone else in their schools with the same name. Because we have boring names the same as billions of other people of our age group, and I didn't much like always being one of many with the name, always having to use the surname as a distinguisher. My dc don't have to always be known as "name surname" or "the other dc" or "fat name" etc. It's about being a unique identifier. Not about our aspirations for them.
OP, you are right - when I named my three children, I was definitely trying to compensate for something I lack but would like to have. And that something is... an interesting, unusual name with a lovely meaning!
I did say 'sometimes' in my OP. I wasn't making a sweeping statement about all people.
But it is something I sometimes notice on here. The 'image' of the name seems to be more important to some people than whether its actually one of their favourite names.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Our son has a name often described as 'pretentious' on mumsnet (in real life most people love it, as do we!), but when we chose the name we did so simply because we love it, partly due to the fact that it isn't overused already, and it sounds great with our surname.
I am getting a little tired of hearing (on here) that we 'have something to prove' or had some ulterior motive in choosing his name..... Why is it necessary to make those 'accusations' at all?
"The 'image' of the name seems to be more important to some people than whether its actually one of their favourite names. "
Actually, the opposite is true. We chose a name (before I joined mumsnet) we loved and only afterwards did I realise that some mumsnetters find our choice 'pretentious'....!
And op, if you were my friend I wouldn't really like it if you posted all three of my kids names on here!
Message withdrawn at poster's request.

They're ordinary names HelloKitty, that have been mentioned on here loads of times. If you were my friend I would find it a bit precious if you threw a paddy because you're kids names (along with thousands of other kids) had been posted on a website in a totally innocuous, non critical name. In fact, I even said they were nice.
I honestly don't care what people call their children. There are children with all sorts of names near me.
People will judge my sons name but I couldn't give a fuck tbh. I'm not forcing them to name their children it so whats the issue

Wiggins socks are of a questionable length.
Dan Martin of Garmin-Cervelo insisted this evening that he was treating each day of the Vuelta as a one-day race - the cyclist's equivalent of a footballer saying he'll take each day as it comes - despite an impressive performance by the 25-year-old this afternoon that saw him land the first Grand Tour stage win of his career.
While some of the best climbers in the sport were struggling on the 16-kilometre climb of La Covatilla that brought Stage 9 of the 2011 Vuelta to a close, Martin was putting in an impressive performance that justified the support of those who had sung his praises before the three-week race began and singled him out as a potential top ten finisher.
A former British junior road race champion, but now racing for Ireland - his mother, Maria, is Irish legend Stephen Roche's sister - Martin attacked a litttle over 5 kilometres from the summit, and briefly had his cousin, AG2R's Nicolas Roche, for company before the latter fell back.
Defending champion Vincenzo Nibali of Liquigas Cannondale was the first to bridge across to Martin, followed by a select group including Team Sky's Bradley Wiggins, who powered to the front in the last phase of the climb; the Briton would finish fourth, with Martin attacking with the line in sight to clinch the stage.

Afterwards, Martin, who celebrated his 25th birthday on the opening day of this year's race, said: "I've won a stage in a Grand Tour against some of the world's best climbers. It's really exciting for the future, but I just think of the present.
Asked for his thoughts over tomorrow's 47 kilometre individual time trial in Salamanca, the Birmingham-born rider insisted: "I haven't thought about that yet. Every day I think that I'm doing a one-day race. I've never done such a long time trial before. It'll be windy on flat roads. It's not exactly what I'm good at. I prefer just to think about today, really."
Bradley Wiggins takes control on the ascent (copyright: Tour of Spain/Graham Watson)
"Today had originally been about me trying to limit my losses as much as possible to guys like Van den Broeck and Rodriguez but I surprised myself," admitted Wiggins after the stage.
"I didn't think I'd be as good as that as it was the first all-out summit finish I'd done since the Dauphiné. Obviously Sierra Nevada came earlier this week but everyone cancelled each other out a bit on there.
"I'm delighted with how things went and once I saw people were in difficulties behind I went into time trial mode and tried to take as much time off them as possible," he continued.
"Tomorrow is where I am expecting to make most of my gains and everything I earned here was a bonus – it was a fantastic finish and it couldn't have gone any better.
"The team were brilliant again as well and Froomey is shining; he's really come to the fore now and has proved his worth," added the British champion.
"It was phenomenal to see and the rest of the boys have not put a foot wrong all week – I haven't had to lift a finger and even though I've been nervous at times they coaxed me through it and put me in the right position when it's mattered."
While WIggins' performance today saw him unexpectedly gain time ahead of tomorrow's individual time trial, for overnight race leader Joaquin Rodriguez of Katusha, today should have been all about trying to gain some more time over his rivals.
However, the Spaniard struggled up the final climb and was one of several potential challengers for the GC to lose contact with the likes of Wiggins and Van Den Broeck, and lost the race lead by just 1 second to Rabobank's Bauke Mollema.
Joaquin Rodriguez feels the pain (copyright: Tour of Spain/Graham Watson)
Following the stage, Rodriguez explained: "When we hit the hardest part of the climb, I've lacked my normal cadence. I was pushing the same gear as the others, which is too much for me and it meant that I wasn't going well.
"The finale of the climb seemed like an eternity. Maybe I went hunger flat but usually, the fatigue hits you without any warning. This is a bad result. I'm sad because I've lost almost all of what I gained the previous days. I have to re-start from scratch. The advantage I have left isn't enough before the time trial against the specialists."
Despite taking the red jersey from Rodriguez, Mollema too was given to self-criticism after the stage,the Dutchman, who finished second behind Martin, asserting that he should have won it.
"I'm obviously happy to take the red jersey but I'm disappointed to have lost the stage. I'm angry. It's my fault. I've been beaten by surprise," he claimed afterwards, adding, "The red jersey is a consolation price. It's a nice gift to conclude the day."

"Uphill, the head wind was very strong and I stayed alongside Wiggins and Froome," added the Rabobank rider. "The group was more and more reduced. I passed "Purito" [Rodriguez] with 5km to go, he didn't look super. That was a real surprise!
"I'll fight in the time trial of course but Wiggins is quite close [at one minute] and it'll be hard. I feel good and I know that hard stages will come after the rest day. I think that I can fight against the best climbers. It's something special to lead a Grand Tour. I've dreamt about that for a few years," he concluded.
Born in Scotland, Simon moved to London aged seven and now lives in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds with his miniature schnauzer, Elodie. He fell in love with cycling one Saturday morning in 1994 while living in Italy when Milan-San Remo went past his front door. A daily cycle commuter in London back before riding to work started to boom, he's been news editor at road.cc since 2009. Handily for work, he speaks French and Italian. He doesn't get to ride his Colnago as often as he'd like, and freely admits he's much more adept at cooking than fettling with bikes.

Wiggins socks are of a questionable length.
agreed, see " Velominati Rule #27 / Shorts and socks should be like Golidlocks.
Not too long and not too short. (Disclaimer: despite Sean Yates' horrible choice in shorts length, he is a quintessential hard man of cycling and is deeply admired by the Velominati. Whereas Armstrong's short and sock lengths are just plain wrong.) No socks is a no-no, as are those ankle-length ones that should only be worn by female tennis players."
