What are some names you dislike?

I cant for the life of me pronounce Irish names...but then Im not Irish so it makes sense! I have a norweigan cousin named Oddveigh...took me about 3 years to pronounce her name right, for the longest time I called Odd-Veh....hehe...she never corrected me.
 
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.


I saw a Chivonne once on Four Weddings! :haha: There's no way that wasn't at least influenced by Siobhán. I agree with you up to a point, I don't mind anglicised Irish names outside of Ireland like Keira, Neev, Keeva (even though it IS wrong) but most anglicisations aren't really possible anyway, only the easy ones. But they should never be anglicised IN Ireland, I hate that!
 
I dont like common names spelt in funny ways. Also not keen on months, flowers, seasons etc.
 
There are LOTS of names that I hate, but I'd never post them on here, cuz I think that's a little harsh, and don't want to offend anyone!!! lol........

BUT, I don't like when people change the spelling of a name just to be different. That kid will ALWAYS have to spell that name when talking on the phone, or telling someone who needs to write down their name.

i guess thats why the thread is called 'What are some names you HATE?'
You take the risk in coming an seeing the names you love been 'hated' an spoke in negative way...

Ive seen a few names i adore what some really hate!!! doesnt bother me though, we all have our own opinions an you enter here at own risk of you loved names been disliked :)
 
I'm not a huge fan of really old fashioned names on babys... It makes me think of an old person!

It's fine as they grow up, but i just can't call a cute little baby the name of my 90 year old grandfather..
No offense to anyone!

:flower:
 
Theres a family near my house with four little girls. They're called :

Britney, Chardonnay, Brandi-Aqua & Shakeera. The mum is called Mercedes.

Poor kids, seriously horrific combination of names.

I know! She was Brandi after their much loved dog, who had gotten knocked down the year before. Aqua cause she had a water birth.
Brandi-Aqua ... I kid you not :haha:

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.

sophie
elizabeth

i suppose they would be put into the posh/old fashioned catagory lol
 
I don't like names that start with the "aid" sound, like Aidan or Adrian; simply becuase they remind me of AIDS. No offence to anyone with AIDS, it's just that I have that connotation :shrug:

I also don't like made up names, like Neveah

Or names with apostrophes in them, like D'Shawn. An apostrophe represents letters that have been taken away in a bid to make the name shorter. So why use them in a name; especially if that's the name on the birth certificate.

I don't like names that you would associate with Essex/Chavs (you know what I mean), like Tracy, Chanel, Chantal, Stacey, Sharron, Mercedes, simply because they sound trashy.

I hate Louise being used as a middle name. SO many of my friends in school had Louise as a middle name; it was so boring. If you're going to have a middle name for your child, at least choose one you chose yourself, instead of the one everyone else and his dog chose.

I hate names with weird spellings. If you want to give your child a different name, then go for something less popular, but do you really have to take a simple name and make it impossible? One example of this would be turning Richard into Rhychyrd :wacko:

I hate some full forms of names, like Benjamin, Nicholas, Samuel, Abigail, Catherine; but I like their shortened versions (Ben, Nick, Sam, Abi, Katie)

I hate obviously religious names, like Isiah, Jesus, Mary, Moses, Noah, Joseph, simply because they are religious and I wouldn't want to use them. It doesn't matter that they may sound nice; if they're obviously of religious origin, I won't choose them. Also here you get a lot of people with religious names, since it's a Catholic place (though it seems to be the older generation); names like Imaculada (the immaculate conception) :shock: Not for me.

I like a lot of traditional names, but others I don't like; like Catherine, Audrey, Esme, Elsie, Dierdre, Maureen

I don't like the name Dusty; simply because it's not clean.

I don't like names that have obviously been taken from celebrities (incl their children), films, books etc; like Britney. I also don't like it when loads of people name their babies after something that made it huge the year they were pregnant. It dates too fast.

I don't like names in the UK, that have been taken from the USA; like Chelsea, Brittany, Tiffany, Peyton, Xander, Jayden. I don't hate the names; I just don't think they fit into British society. They're overly American, and they stand out way too much in the UK, IMO.

... I think I'm done :blush:
 
LOL damn the first person I've seen to have Noah on their list :( Haha its ok I'm over it. I'm not religious in the slightest I just like the name, I also really like Isaac but I could never have a Noah and an Isaac I think that would be a bit too biblical for someone who isnt religious at all!! xx
