What are some names you dislike?

[Hayley90]

Ok, on my fb i have seen Destinee and Rainbeau both of which killed me inside. I knew id missed something off my list a while back

*shudder*

 

[MissBabyFace]

I don't really like the usual names like Harri, George etc although they are such beautiful names I don't think they suit them in their man years as weirdly I assosiate those kind of names as cute, old etc... so basicaly babies and old people. Girls names I don't like Scarlett, mostly because it is so over used, Navaeh is another name, so cheesy just because it spells heaven backwards doesnt mean it's a nice name.

 

[MrsMalowey]

I nearly died when i looked at my OH name and at the top of it was Darryl!!!!No offence to pople called it but i hate this name and certainly wouldnt call a baby it!!!!!

And i nagged him for ages to make a list, now i wish i hadn't bothered and he can choose what he likes off mine!

American names are mostly made up, so understandable not to like them also. --I mean come on Chaquita, i actually asked the girl if her mom was a fan of bannanas...

That's funny about the banana's.

As an American, I would have to disagree somewhat that most of our names are made up. It's true that there are those who have unusual names, true.
But I'd just like to point out that Americans are descendents of immigrants who came from other places like Europe and a lot of them have family names that are passed down. For example, Elizabeth, Catherine (or Katherine), etc. My OH's family has an abundance of Mary's (abundance!). The region where I'm from has a mix of biblical names and those "made up" names. There are a lot of biblical names like David, Joseph, Mary, Adam, etc. and then a lot of names like Cinnamon's, Chasity's, Candy's, etc.

And speaking of weird American names...I know a couple who decided if it's a girl that the father would name it (because he wanted a boy) and if it is a boy the mom would name it (because she wanted a girl). The reasoning seems odd to me, but they said they made that deal to sort of give consolation to the other for not getting the gender one wanted. Anyway, it's a girl and the father wants to name the baby girl Caz because it's his name or initials spelled backwards. The whole family cringed and even the mom was unsure of it and didn't want to break her deal. Finally she must have been brave enough to "enter negotiations" with him and she got him to change the name to Sunny but still the middle name will be Caz. This ordeal has led me to believe that men should not be able to name babies (heehee j/k). Can you imagine growing up being a girl named Caz?! To me it sounds like a noise you make when you sneeze! For me it would be different if it meant something in another language but it's simply his name backwards (or initials I can't remember). I'm not too keen on Sunny but it's a lot better than Caz.

Yeah but some names are made up. Have you heard of the name: QTPIE? Thats right, some people name there kids after text speak. Seriously QTPIE? Poor child. --I am serious by the way. My newspaper did a series on strange kids names...this was one of them.

 

[Rhio92]

I feel bad, but if we're all mature and grown up, there's nothing wrong with saying names we hate

I hate -ayden names... Brayden, Jayden, Kayden, etc... However, I quite like Aiden

Also dont like Finn/Finnley/other spellings x

 

[FloridaGirl21]

I would hate being a child going through school with the name QTPIE. OMG

 

[oaklvr]

Another Jayden/Kaden disliker here too. I don't mind Hayden though.

I dislike- Marcus, Harry, Dane, Dwayne, Wayne, Harold, Gunther, Clancy, Darius, Bob, Pat, Randy, Hubert, Henry, Cleatus, Elmer, Verne, Delmer

Agatha, Roberta, Beatrice, Naomi, Phoebe, Harper, Piper, Paisley, Quinn, Michelle, Sophia/ie, Jayla, Precious, Princess, Denise, Alexis, Alexa, Serenity, Destiny, Desiree, Mercedes, Vanna

 

[Bartness]

random, but I love the name BOB, for a dog or cat (I cant stand it otherwise). however, my parents never would let me name my cats Bob, and OH wont let me name our future dog Bob....its probably why they end up with names like: Puff, Mookie, PK (pretty kitty), and Moo Moo......

A friend of mine just had a baby girl...and named her....BOSTON! really Boston? Ugh....horrible name...

 

[MrsTreasure]

I apologise if I offend anyone but I absolutely dislike the name Lewis! It's quite popular and it reminds of kids stuck in one of them awful cheap plastic prams, covered in sausage roll crumbs and with dried snot by his nose and a big red flushed face... and a Vicky Pollard type mother pushing the pram around the shopping centre!

I think it's far enough to say you don't like the name and leave it at that! My son's name is Lewis and I'm definately not a Vicky Pollard type, even though I am from Bristol lol!! I feel quite offended, haha I drive a merc I'll have you know

I personally don't HATE any names I actually think it would be quite rude to say that, and really hate is a very strong emotion, anyone who gets so worked up to actually hate another person's name must be a bit odd.

My name is Amy, loads of people have said how common it is but I love it I also love to hear my husband say my name he makes it sound all sexy and not at all common! My son is Lewis Peter (peter after my Dad who died while I was pg) and my daughter is Holly Olivia which is not too popular. When I finally become pg if we have a girl we like Gracie or Bella but due to their popularity may have to come up with something else. But I'm hoping for a boy and we want to call him Sonny, our last name is Treasure and I think Sonny Treasure is a really cool sounding name, like he will be famous or something lol!!

 

[FloridaGirl21]

I love Bella And Sonny Treasure has a nice ring to it!

 

[MrsTreasure]

Thanks Ysa! I read your other post and LOOOOVE your name I wasn't so sure about Sonny when my hubby suggested it but absolutely love it now!

 

[FloridaGirl21]

lol, thanks hun. I was actually named after a perfume. My mom must have been at the time, because it's so hard for people to pronounce & (I love it now), but repeating it to people all of the time is a pain.

Yatzee?
No Ysatis!
huh?
Just call me Ysa! It's like Lisa, but there's no L..

I've had this conversation 1 too many times! LOL

And I love Sonny too!

 

[MrsTreasure]

That made me lol you must have gotten so fed up repeating yourself. Well I think its so pretty, good job your mum wasn't wearing the perfume poison or something like that when you were born! Xx

Sunny Caz?! I don't think Sunny is any better at all lol, SUNNY?! Like windy? Snowy? Rainy? Poor kid lol

lol I actually know people who are named Rainy, Stormy, and Wendi.

Oh my. Wow. Poor kid. That takes the cake.

 

[Kimmy25]

the only name that gets on my nerves is zoe and thats because ive never met a nice person called zoe. so i hear that name and think nasty.

i dont like over used names, but each to their own. im sure there are plenty of people out there who dont like my boys names but i couldnt care less lol

i like your boys names lol

 

[ciarhwyfar]

A relative of my mother’s generation is named Chiquita. My mom is in her 60's.

I am thankful that my older daughter who is 21 was the Juliana as when we take the little one to play, there is almost always a Juliana (or Julianna or Guilana) there.

I wouldn’t get away with using a traditionally spelled Irish name. My OH wouldn't go for it. Mine is Kierin but I changed it to that.

I have never known one but I can’t stand the name Miranda. Other than that I don’t really hate any names but there are many I dislike or just plain wouldn’t use.

 

[Abigailly]

I don't see anything wrong with sharing your opinion on names you don't like. People do it all the time when asked in other threads.

I personally don't like Honey or names that don't look like they sound, such as Niamh.

So foreign names?

 

[Abigailly]

I HATE the whole 'I love an Irish name but am going to Anglicise it'!

Niamh should never be Neave or Neeve. Niamh is a good Irish traditional name, not some chavvy English name.

I think the worst one I've ever seen was Caoimhe (pronounce KWeeva) spelt Keeva, but still prounounced Kweeva. Wrong name.

 

[annawrigley]

I'm sure I'm seen Niamh spelt Nieve before... like sieve FOB's sister is having a baby girl in September and calling her Niabh! (they are half Irish) I cant wait! xx
