Chlamydia for a Baby Name?

Picking out baby names are hard and choosing a bad name can have long term effects. Parents often search through books and baby name websites for ideas to name their new bundle. Some ask for suggestions. But, this one woman got a pretty harsh reaction when she posted to Mumsnet to ask for upper class sounding names.

Someone responded with "So are you old money and posh or wanting to be pretentious. Call your kid a name you like." And most of the name suggestions weren't any better. "Chlamydia" Jocasta le plume puffball" and "Cosima Urqhuart Upwardly Smytherooni" were among the suggestions.
