I don't think its right for BB to be calling any of the HM's such disgusting names as Dogface and Halfwit.

They both found it amusing and seem quite happy with it.
Plus, it makes me giggle every time I hear them!

Delighted to see the majority agree. I think its now time for them to call a halt. Its no longer funny, if it ever was.
Although I will be accused of having a soh failure, considering the trouble C4 got into over racial abuse, they might have thought twice about using 'half-wit' as one of them IMO...
I don't think it's very nice.
I think it was rather an infantile idea of BB's.

It served its purpose. Now they should revert to their real names.

I think they're going to keep them now Freddie is up for eviction, because they can milk the pathetic joke for all it's worth if he goes!
Ok, seems I'm in the monority but that's okay, I'm used to it
I personally would've liked them all to have been renamed.

erm...how much do I care?....... nope sorry I couldnt give half a rats arse WHAT they call em,
ahve got ma own names fur them
I never saw the situation that brought it about but have wondered why they would agree to a legal situation that might be a hindrance in their future life, just so they could be accepted as a HM, did being an HM on BB mean that much to them

Oh right, thanks Blizzie, I saw the man on tv, a well known political person, just can't remember his name right now lol, who was witness to them legally changing their names so I thought they had to keep those names lol
It`s a bit of an obstacle to me.
Although Big Brother contestants often have strange names I think Halfwit and Dogface are annoying.
The joke lasted a few minutes. But it is going to pall if it runs for weeks.
It`s more natural to think of people by their proper name, and I still think of them as Freddie and Sophie.

Neil Hamilton.
He did say that he would change them back free of charge, when they got out.
They were both very amused when they were told their new names by BB!

That's the man, Neil Hamilton! I'm glad your brain cells are working better than mine lol. So they never even knew what names they were taking on? only those on BB would go for such a thing lol

They did know the names before they signed, but they both found it funny!

I can see that in years to come they'll look back at this and laugh about it, and what a good story to share over the years lol

They're hardly disgusting names - I'm sure the producers could have come up with something far worse Like someone else said, it makes me giggle each time their names are mentioned. I think this year's BB definitely has a childish theme to it, and I think it's quite funny so far.
The consequences of labelling those two with such gross names is that the names will never be forgotten and will have a large impact on their lives. Of course they`re making out they don`t care ..... they have to ... but I bet they do care, especially Freddie.

The last bit I can definitely agree with (well, it was funny for about 15 mins).
Don't flog the schoolboy giggle, "Biggy". (love Siavash )
Ch4 might have shown us them laughing at it, but Ch4 could just have easy cut out a load of footage before that laughing was shown.
halfwit is very apt for freddie.
Sophies is a bit much!

I actually don't see the point of the stupid names. Seems rather juvenile to me.
Its the humiliation that they put up with for their 15 minutes of fame
All they did was sign a bit of paper - It is unlikely that they will be allowed to register names which are abusive of unsuitable.
All the 'tasks'in that round were fake - fake glass (does anyone believe that those two would have stepped onto the run if they thought it was real glass) - fake motorcycle tyre - fake name change ???

I thought it was a bit juvenile too...
Not keen on childish stuff at all.. bit imbecilic and the names aren't even funny imo..
I'd rather they changed it to a number or summat that strips them of any identity.. but then I am a miserable old git and nowt much makes me laugh anyway

I just don't see the point of it. It was funny, for the first minute but now it just seems a bit pointless.

Yes, I totally agree and it must be uncomfortable for their parents who are watching their kids we referred to in such a puerile way.
