What are some names you dislike?

[LuckyInLove09]

I think it's interesting reading about the names that people don't like and the ones that people do! And it's so true that if everyone liked the same names it would not be good! So anyway, I'll share my dislikes. Not meant to offend anyone, these names are just not for us:

*Any names that were overly used while I was growing up like Sarah, Jennifer, Amanda, Daniel, Robert, David, Josh, Ryan, etc

*I can't stand the name Cash.

*Any name like Lakeesha, Shakita, Laquana, Bonquisha, etc.

*And one of my closest friends had a baby last June. She didn't find out the gender so she had a boy and girl name picked out before the birth. She wanted to incorporate her husbands name, Ray. So, she picked Rayella for a girl! To each their own, but I was soooo happy that she ended up having a boy!!!!!!!

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!

Just posted reply to the survey thread on Names..

i've a son called CAYDEN and am proud.
and it was not just a add - a -letter to 'ayden'
and see what i come up with

the meaning of the name was biggest clincher for me
Cayden - means fighter.
the name i had picked out 4/5yr ago when i was pregnant with my daughter for her was Cayden is a Boy... obv she was born a girl. but tragically died..

then when i was preg with my son and found out he was a boy
the one name my heart was still set on was Cayden.
Cayden faught thru an eventful stressful pregnancy for almost 38wks
became a miracle in my life, Cayden lived upto his name and is a complete fighter, thru my daughters death and loss of two more babies he made my dreams come true eventually,

there are other names out there that mean Fighter
but cayden happened to have that extra special thing to me
my choice of name for my daughter
and also out of all the names that meant fighter it was the one my heart was set on..

I dont like ALOT of Names that ppl call there Babies, but tbh I wouldnt dream of posting them up incase i insult someones little baby/child on here that has that name

as i said in other post,
it a good thing everyone has different taste
because if not, this world would be one boring place

so heres to choice and freedom to choose
I Love my choice of Name for my SON and definelty one proud CAYDEN Mommy​

I love the name Caiden, it was originally what i planned on calling my son -- I think it sounds masculine & strong -- I also love that it means "Little Fighter"

I ended up naming my son Jayden, which i love! When he was born, almost 4 years ago... i didn't belong to any online forums. I didn't know "ayden" names were "so popular" or "so hated" by people on forums. They really aren't that popular in my area, to be honest. I know of two other Jayden's, two Cayden's, and one Brayden. That's all. And i work with children/families, work with teen moms, run a toddler playgroup, my son attends preschool, etc. I don't see these names very frequently at all. And the families with kid's with these names, are good familes with college-educated parents. So, maybe different areas have different trends & associations with certain names. Plus, there are 2 famous celebrities with kid's named "Jaden" -- so, in my opinion, those are good associations too! (I love Will Smith!)

Also, FYI the name "Jayden" isn't a new/made-up name... the name "Jadon" was actually in the Bible... and Jayden means "God has heard" or "God has answered" which i think are lovely meanings!

At any rate, i never get offended when people on here bash those names... i LOVE his name... my family LOVES his name... it fits him perfectly bc he is so handsome & wonderful & in my opinion the name is handsome & wonderful too! I hate names like John, William, Jacob, Joshua, Michael, etc. There are millions more people in the world with those names, far more than there are Jaydens. And popular names are popular for a reason... bc they are nice & people like them.

Niamh/Siobhan/Neveah - how the FECK are they pronounced

The first two are in Irish, that is why you can't pronounce them. I assure you the pronunciation makes perfect sense in their own language! Niamh is pronounced Neeve and is very common, Siobhán is pronounced Shuv-awn. I have seen them anglicised as Neev/Neeve and.....Chivonne!

Neveah is..heaven spelled backwards. It seems to be pronounced Neh-VY-ah, but I've heard it as Neh-VAY-ah too. Not Irish, it's definitely an American name.

I disllike it when people name their kids after places... especially when the parents have no idea what those places are like... i lived in australia for a year and met a kid called Devon.. I come from Devon so i was like awww thats nice that you named him Devon do you love visiting Devon? do you think its a lovely place? and they were like oh we have no idea what its like....also i had the same with a couple who called their baby camden... they had no idea it was a place in london! you would think a little bit of research would go down well... just type the name into google 1st!

I don't think you should have to check online to make sure that your not naming your child after a place (that you may never have even heard of) before naming them that.. Maybe that's just me? If you like the name then go for it like others have said, thank goodness there's so much diversity or else the world would be boring.

I think when you click on a link called "What are some names you hate" you automatically assume the risk of seeing a name you like (or have chosen) being discussed in a negative way.... I think having someone I have never met on a forum say they hated a name I chose would not offend me, nor do I think anyone should have to apologize for posting that they hated a name on a discussion link titled "What are some names you hate". C'mon!

I think this is a really fun discussion. I ASSUME there will be a signficant portion of the population that really doesn't like (and some who hate) the name I will chose for my baby. I would not personally waste my time being upset by this, its not going to change anything or effect my child or my feeling about that name in any way. I am wonderful friends with someone named Jenny, she is a great person, I detest the name for a child though and would never choose it. Its not such a big thing, in my opinion.

I hate Shelly...it is the shortened version of my name and it is horrible. I always cringe when I'm called it or if any other michelle likes to be called by it.

I also don't like it when people have the exact same name as their parents. It seems like they didn't want to give their child their own name.

ooh! I have a friend called Shelly! lol! But thats her whole name, its not short for anything. I can imagine how annoying it must be to have ur name shortened to something u hate tho!

My boy is called Travis: we like unusual, but not ridiculous, names (i think Travis falls in that category?!). On the flip side, i dislike the really popular names: Chloe, Jack & the majority of names in the top 20 lists! Theyre fine for other people, but not for my babies! I once knew a girl called Chloe Smith... its like her parents had gone out of the way to give her the most boring name ever!!! Having said that, it hasnt held Will Smith back!

 

[lov3hat3]

I dont know why i just cant stand tradtitional names like William, Elizabeth, Henry etc. & Names after months, places, days, anything like that i really dont like. But its whatever floats peoples boats really

 

[Misskitty10]

Boys: kaden Hayden Jayden Harley mkenzie Kane Shane Wayne

Girls: Kelly Kayleigh Alesha Keisha Shannon mercedez Lexi Lacey April Names like princess, precious,angel etc.

 

[morri]

LOL @ this thread!!

I dont hate any names as such, hates a pretty strong word over just a baby name but im not keen on naming children after "brands" of any description, Chanel, Mercedes, Primark, Argos etc etc

The car Mercedes was named after the first name Carl Benz' daughter so the name was first xD

personally I would want to know what my babies name ment.

Meaning isn't that important to me. I chose Noah cos I like the name, just checked it apparently means "peaceful", which he is definitely not

 

[sarah0108]

I didnt really look for meanings but Harriets name and middle name means

'Home ruler' & 'Princess' most definately true.

Maxs is

'The greatest' & 'fire' .

Just looking at those meanings makes you think 'chaos' which is certainly isi n my house

I'd be interested in knowing what my baby's name meant too.. But definitely wouldn't NOT name them something, just because it was a location that I've never visited. just me

Anna, LOL & I love the name Noah!

 

[Bartness]

I really dont like the name Paris for a boy or a girl...that being said, I have a 7 year old nephew named Paris!

 

[FloridaGirl21]

LOL, I know a woman named Paris then she named her son London I don't care for the son's name, but it fits them so well..

 

[Clarina1980]

I don't mind unusual spellings but I knew one woman that named her son Cristafur.

I also work with kids and have heard a few weird ones, like Thyme (Time) and Paisley (Like the pattern). Oh yeah, and at nursery in the late 90's there was a girl called Po (Teletubbies)

I was in town once and there was a chavy looking girl sat next to me with her brood. Her daughter ran off and she called out Lilo Liiilo, as in the film Lilo and Stitch :/

I don't mind the "ayden" names, although I wouldn't pick them for my kid, except maybe Hayden, I think that's quite nice.

It's the older names I don't like, like John, William, Harold, Alfred, Frederick, Gladys, Mavis, Gertrude, Doris etc.

I have a really common name of my era... Claire Rebecca and I HATE my third name, which is Doreen but it was after my aunt who died when my mum was pregnant.
