What do you think of people who call other people "names"?

I don't think anything of them cause then I would have to think the same thing about myself.  Like it or not we have all called someone a name.

My friend told me to tell you that some of us think you're talking about yourself, and some of us think you're talking about an actual other person.\n\n(My friend says hello to your friend, by the way.)

They just want to be unique and get attention. I know what you mean, it bugs me how they could name their kids such weird names!!! I feel sorry for the kids when they grow up.

It's rude and disrespectful.  I will usually tell the person that, later of course since I will hang up right away!\n\nPeople will continue to do that to you as long as you let them.  You need to tell them how you feel and that you don't find it acceptable.

as long as you don't make any noise. We all do that once in a while but knowing we all do that and actually being there and acknowledge someone did that in public are 2 completey difference experiences. I'm someone standing next to you farts, AND makes noise, how would you react? I know whoever did that didn't mean it and that person must be very embarrassing but I also think it's only natural that people would look at the one who did it with "unfriendly" eyes

Silly people...thats soooo rude of them. wear a name tag and when they ask u why u r wearing it tell them that since they cant get your name right u thought u would give them a hint...lol it should make them feel bad that they cant get your name right.

First, take a good honest look at yourself and your friends to see if there is a reason for that name being called.  If you can see it, try to change it.  If you believe it's not founded, ignore those people and enjoy your life as much as possible, without being resentful or acting out in defiance.

I think its just that people think plain names are boring, and they would not be noticed. So they go for what can be considered "creative names". \n\nBut then, you see, not everyone can be creative enough, or , putting it mildly, not every one can be good enough at creativity to please everyone. That means there would be a lot of names that a lot of other people won't like. \n\nBut then, I am sure, for every name, there would be many other who think its cool. Its just like an evening dress that you would wear. Some like it, some don't. Some think its crazy, others consider it cool. \n\nWhat do you think about mine ;-)

I TOTALLY agree. People, I've learned, gossip (one of many reasons) because they do not have anything else in common with this person they are gossiping to so they have to bring YOUR name into some mess in order to form a bond with someone who would otherwise have nothing to do with their punk a**. (Yeah, that's right, I'm bitter lol)

if they are harmless, i call them out on it\nif I don't know them or they are unbalanced, I let it go\n\nConsider it a form of flattery that someone (strangers!) would use their precious time imitating you!\nUntil they get tired of their childish ways, just post a message in your profile stating that you are the ORIGINAL AUTHENTIC (screen name here) and all others are IMITATORS

don't get hung up on it, it is just a term someone uses to make a sentence more personal if he doesn't know you..it is very common to call a guy you don't know..Mate, Buddy, Bud,Chief, Amigo,...just like calling a woman, honey, love, baby or whatever..I'm sure the person didn't mean any offence by it

most people dont choose their own name so I dont think you can judge someone by their name

I agree.  I don't like to use the term because I believe that it is incorrect.  It is also promoting segregation and misunderstanding.  When people choose to separate themselves by racial titles they are saying that they are unwilling to be a part of this culture.  This breeds contempt amongst other groups who feel that they are being pushed aside or belittled because they don't have a special title for themselves too.  \n\nI find it amusing that some black people are offended for being called black but then the next words out of their mouths are about white people.  If I'm white you're black.  I really don't see what's wrong with that.\n\nAlso, almost no one in this country is all of any ethnicity.  I don't want to be called French-Canadian-Belgian-Spanish-Lebanese American.  What a freakin' mouthful!  Blacks are no different.  If you go back into your geneaology you will find many different groups represented in there.  Why would you choose to leave those out?  They are as much a part of you as any other group.

Of course, people use other people. I do not consider these people friends though.

I don't like calling people from other planets(speculatively)Aliens. Heck we'd be aliens if we went to another planet. I think the term "off worlders" \nwould be better.\nGoodness I have just shown political correctness for a situation that hasn't happened yet.

Absolutly not, just like its not right to call someone retarded or racist names. \nIts mean and hurtful to everyone involved.\nThen again you cant cure all of the idiots in the world that will still practice this behavior.
