What are some names you dislike?

[feeble]

Agree with op and also names that try too hard like Mercedes or Preston...

I also hate River for a boy, the river is female!

Oh and Chardonnay etc, if it sound like booze don't call your kid it!

Also most celebrity names...

OH's youngest daughter has the middle name 'Savannah' and he really doesn't like it , but they weren't together when she was born and he was lucky to got to choose her first name.

I do agree that this post in very negative but also VERY interesting. A full range of tastes in names. Nearly every name liked and disliked simultaneously - such an induvidual decision.

I don't really dislike name but I dislike the middle name mae/may. So far I. Know 12 babies with that middle name. A few of them have been hyphenated. Ie ellie-mae lilly-mae lexie-mae and daisy-mae and finally evie-mae.

My little girl's middle name is to be May. Not hyphenated though, but it's after my nannie (my great grandmother)

I hate anything that sounds like it belongs to somebody on a pole...dancing. If my nephew was a girl they were going to name the baby a total stripper like name (no offense if anybody here is a stripper).

There aren't any names I hate - there are kta I wouldn't pick my for baby.

What I really hate though is people seem to just pick words rather than names.

I also really dislike it when people say they want something unusual but then choose a popular name and just spell it in an off the wall way! If you like joseph and daisy then spell them that way not jozeph and daysy!

My husband is always ranting about people who do just that. He used to joke and say if we had a boy we would name him Phranck (frank) I said no way. Then there is the running story of a woman who wanted unique names And named her babies ORANGEGELO and LEMONJGELO! Imagine these pronounced as actual names!

I kinda hate the new trend of adding ''Mae'' <-- with that spelling, to everything. I know SO many little ones with Lilly-Mae, Daisy-Mae, Gracie-Mae. There's going to be classrooms stuffed full of them lol

I also dont mind the unique ones, but I put myself in the kids shoes. Would I want to be called peaches? Or La'Kreesha? Nope! lol

 

[letia659]

I dont like the ayden names anymore I do love the middle name mae but talk on here about how predictable it is has put me off it! all other names I dont like would mostly be because I know someone with that name and I would associate it with them I hate the twilight craze because I have a son named Jacob and he did come along before all that but still even though he thinks its so cool that the werewolf has his name the names at the top of the list in the US (where I am) dont bother my DH but it took me a while to agree to his girl name choice but I finally gave in so our daughter will be sophie and I know sophia is #2 but my Jacob (which DH picked too btw) has been #1 for years so I just dont care about popularity anymore! we were going to go with the name Elsie but everytime we told someone they said like the cow and seeing as I grew up on a cattle farm and Im not skinny so my daughter has the genes to be a bit bigger sometime in her life I finally decided it wasnt a good idea but I still love the name just hate that stupid cow that ruined it!! Im also not a fan of the names with really unique spellings especially on the most common classic names!

My baby book had the name Chlamydia......I was thinking that must be the hardest name to live with, and gross too.

 

[griffinh]

Lol I knew a girl on my road: Candida - thrush!!!! wtf were her parents thinking!

 

[keepthefaithx]

we have a patient at our office, a little boy name Dobb

AND his last name is Dobb, Dobb Dobb...really? lmao

 

[EmyDra]

OH works does HR and has an employee called John Johnson...just...why?

 

[misshopefull]

I'm not keen on names like Stanley.

I wanted to call DS Jack but OHs surname is Russell so there was no way I was calling him Jack Russell

 

[Islander]

i hated the name nevaeh, i thought spelling heaven backwards was totally lame...then i heard it the other day and thought, thats beautiful...then relaised what it was LOL

 

[Imagining]

I hate names that are common words spelt backwards (Nevaeh). It's just... No offense, of course, to anyone who has named their child this...
Also, I am so sick of names like Chasity, Faith, Hope, etc. Names like those make me flinch a little.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

someone on my f.b has a little girl.. and the babies middle name is ashleii


thats made up yeah ?! ... or has it been spelt "wrong" to be different ? :S sometimes tho, and i don't know if this sounds really nasty but i wonder if the people doing it DON'T actually realize, there are usually somewhat, er poorly educated is the phrase i'm going with x

 

[BjergKriger]

I'm a teacher--I get to hear some really interesting ones, especially since I'm in California. I suppose it's why my husband likes names like Stephanie, Sarah, Emily, and Ashley.

I actually like some of the names like Faith, Grace, and Hope. For me, it hearkens back to Americana. I would say I like them more for middle names, however.

I am definitely not a fan of names like Madison, Savannah, or Paris--funny since my name is also a city, but I wasn't named for it!
