Oh Caitlin, thank you for reminding us what a joke is.
There are jokes that are funny and then there are … err, “jokes” that are plain stupid or even offensive. I find his joke nothing but stupid. With humour it’s the same as with beauty. Definitely depends on the beholder/ listener. Maybe you should look up ‘personal taste’ too.

The post has the words “JOKE” and “PLAYFULLY” in it…I’m sure he wasn’t trying to insult the French…or their names…

I don’t understand his comment. Is it that French names sound wimpy? Does Jean-Claude sound wimpy? And Maxfield is a super tough name? Perhaps I am missing something, but that seemed odd and offensive to me.

I think he was saying that if he had to pick a French name, he liked Raphael, not that he didn’t think it was a French name.

Being half French myself and living in France, I agree with Lilith.
Oh, and by the way, we do have the name Raphael in French, and we spell it with -ph

That’s a stupid thing to say about french names.
