Calling herself "India"

[Crimson Dynamo]

Says it all really.

If she had been smart she would have looked at the top 10 names popular in the year of her birth (below) but instead the attention seeker went with a "celeb" name like India (amazed she did not call herself Harper). You have to work hard to be accepted if you are different and calling yourself a silly name isnt helping. (admittedly its one of my daughters middle name but then she is 52 or whatever)

:clap1: My thoughts exactly, LT.

[chuff me dizzy]

According to her,her Mother called her India after her favourite takeaway ,No love your Mother called you Jonathon !!

[waterhog]

if you are different - you get called allot of names - mostly not the one you name yourself - just saying.

[Crimson Dynamo]

If she had called her self Mary i think she would have got on a lot better

[Northern Monkey]

What’s with naming people after countries anyway.
Might change my name to Japan or Finland

Yeah that me me laugh. She's a joke.

[Gusto Brunt]

I also doubt very much she's 52.

Doubt you'd get much change out of 60 at least.

There is so much to criticize India for that their name seems so...petty. A name is a name.

yes but its an indication of what she is

a window into her real character

[Vicky.]

I can't get over how India looks literally exactly the same as Jonathon. I know they are the same person, but seeing them side by side like that is so weird

I've always known what my mum would have called me if I were a girl and if I were trans I'd probably take that name; maybe her mum really would have called her India, and the "takeaway" thing was just a joke?

I doubt that very much ,India wasn't a popular girls name all those years ago

There are non-popular names now which are still given out.

I think it was another of her lies

well hello Brenda

:smug:

[bots]

I have to be kind of fair to her here, as her name has obviously changed and it would be noticeable anyway, she made a joke out of it. It was pretty obviously a joke to me.

[Brillopad]

she didn't have a face transplant :laugh:

:hehe:

[rionablue]

The name is the least of my problems with her. She is entitled to call herself anything she wants. I actually like the name India. But she is a diva and so volatile and a huge HUGE letdown. I quite liked her one night one

[Ammi]

...I’ve been reading up a bit about her as I hadn’t known her at all before she went into the house...when she was leading a ‘double life’ as Jonathan, she chose Joanne Charles as her female name but then after her surgery she chose India because she felt her own identity struggles for her identified with struggles of India as a country in its identity...(India’s explanation, just to clarify..)....

[Shaun]

I like the name. Just a shame about the person :laugh:

[poppsywoppsy]

She could have called herself Transzania after Tanzania, I think it is very fitting.

Or as I read somewhere, she didn't like being called a he, what would she do if she was called Pakistan.
