Katie Hopkins-Judging Children By Their Names.

Ok so big controversy going on today, after people have watched the TV programme “This Morning”. where Katie Hopkins admits that she does judge children by their names and that’s how she make’s decisions wether her children can or can not play or be friends with them.
She picked names such as;
Tyler
Sinead
Cardone
and Apple as the names of which her children most definatley wouldn’t be allowed to associate with.
Katie Hopkins says it defines the child’s class and how they act in school.
I think that by judging a child by their names is a bit unfair as it’s not the child’s fault that they were given that name, but on another side a name can sometimes tell you what sort of family and people they are. I’m not saying it’s right to judge but there is a reasoning there.
When I was at school the naughty children would have the common names such as;

Shane
Shaun
Aydin
Tyler
Tom
Joshua
Sinead
Reah
Vicky
Chrissy

I’m still not judging as now they could be doing really well but from what I see on FB and other social sites they are looking and acting as if they were still at school.
I know Joshua’s, Kylie’s, and Shannon’s that have gone on to university are doing extremely well.
It’s not the name that defines the child it’s the way their brought up by their parents.
And things eventually became so heated that mother-of-two Holly very nearly lost her cool, asking her: ‘Why would you do that? Why would you do that?’
During the debate Katie admitted she had no time for ‘the Tylers, the Charmaines, the Chantelles, the Chardonnays,’ adding: ‘A name for me is an efficient way of working out what class a child comes from, and do I want my child to play with them.
‘It isn’t just about class, it’s probably about the fact they haven’t done their homework…there’s a whole set of things that go with children like that that is quite a disruptive influence in school.’
She added that children with ‘intelligent’ names were more likely to be ‘better

 

Play dates’ as they would be more likely to have educated parents.
Phillip Schofield, , briefly got his own back on Katie  after she revealed that she disliked geographical names, citing Brooklyn and London – pointing out: ‘You have a child called India.’
She retorted: ‘That’s not related to a geographical location. It is a very lovely name for a very lovely child.’
Guest Anna May Mangan, has called her an ‘insufferable snob’,with which she is now branded with that name.
Some comments from people on social net works have said;
Kelly Zervas

and yet she shares the name ‘Katie’ with ‘Katie Price’ – no end of class there?

Who actually ”likes” Katie Hopkins!!!

She is the most vile person on the planet!!!
Judging kids by their names….really.

I’d love to hear you’r views, do you secretly judge your child’s friends names?
