What are some names you dislike?

[eviestar]

My middle school was waldorf so we had a lot of ex-hippie parents there (nothing wrong with being a hippie!) and some of the names were: Renaissance, Havana, Ocean and a pair of sisters called Zia Shanti and Baji Bliss.

i love the name ocean x

 

[Piper84]

Made up names like Jayden, Braden, Kaden, Raydon, Shaneequa, SoFine

Wrongly (or "uniquely") spelt names like Lleyton, Jaxon, Haydin, Jasen

Diminutives of traditional names like Alfie, Archie, Harry, Milly if they are put down as diminutives on the birth certificate

Surnames used as first names like Madison, Cassidy, Kennedy, Riley, McKenzie, Delaney, Cooper, Ashton

Traditional boys' names used for girls like Sydney, Ashley, Morgan, Jamie, Cameron

Names that have been given a bad name (!) like Connor and Kieran

Names that try and sound refined and/or distinguished (often surnames) like Dalton, Hunter, Preston, Spencer, Tanner

Names with apostrophes

Yeah that's a lot of names! But the most important thing is this: it doesn't matter what other people think of what you call your child, so have fun with naming

hey I noticed your name is Piper84, is your name Piper or do you have a reference to that name? Just curious as we are naming our baby girl Piper when she arrives. I think its lovely.

It's a reference to where my DH and I first met

at the end of the day every name is made up because the english language is made up!

Im offended, my sons' name is Jaxon (Only joking about being offended!) My mom tried talking me out of the spelling of his name on numerous occasions. For some reason she thinks Jaxon should be pronounced "Jack ON", she also thinks the Americinn hotel should be pronounced the "Americ Inn" ......my dad and I are convinced she's ******** sometimes (only joking again). hehe

 

[madasmitch]

Mine is that i do not like any names that begin with 'K'....dont ask me why, i just dont, but alas my youngest daughter is named Kayleigh which my husband chose and i had to put up with due to the aggreement we made, id name if baby was a boy and vice versa, what a wicked man lol

 

[madasmitch]

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.

oh dear, im totally with you on this one.... poor kids!!!

 

[madasmitch]

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.

Ha ha my names michelle and it winds me up when people pronounce as Meechelle..... and i always have to correct them by remind them its spelt with an mi not me lol

we have friends that named their son Jaxson and honestly I love it, always have- its a cute and cool name. We also have friends who named their little girl Jorja and I absolutely love that too

 

[Hayley90]

eek Jorja is one of the names id class as 'spelt wrong' x

 

[fluffpuffin]

There's quite a few names I dislike - off the top of my head:
- really common names: Ava, Lily, Rose, Poppy, Daisy, Jack, Alex, Matt etc. (nothing against the names in particular, they're just overused)
- chavvy sounding names: Courtney, Chantelle, Jayder
- a lot of German names, sorry to my relatives back home, who hoped that's what I'd choose, but I just couldn't find one I liked enough. Ones I particularly dislike: Bärbel, Hannelore, Aribert, Alois, Knut, Dieter, Gunther
- also names spelt weirdly just to be different

 

[fluffpuffin]

also the name Maddison - always makes me think of an unruly child on Supernanny

 

[Piper84]

I just think it's an abuse of the letter X, which is rightly quite rare in names.

It's probably also influenced by the Brangelina brood Maddox, Pax and Knox, which puts it in the category of trendy but short-lived.

Jorja is an awful spelling, I'm sorry. It completely craps all over the etymology of its Greek origins (geōrgos).

Anyway, this is a thread about names you hate, not names you love, so go for it

I choose the spelling Jaxon, b/c I loved the name, but OH said he wasnt going to give his son a last name for a first name. So I suggested an alternate spelling, with he loved.

I saw that one LMAO

"abuse of the letter x??!!" lol, thats a little dramatic dont you think. Its okay, calm down, chill out, it will be okay if others use "x" in their child's name its really not that bad and its not abuse. Wow, if that drives you over the edge to the point where you call it abuse, you really need to look at the more important things in life.

I think it was ment to be a joke...though I do like the spelling Jaxon, its how I spelt my little guys name. But MOST people dont like the spelling. But Im weird and dont care for traditional spellings....

 

[happydino]

Anna is a sucky name now I think about it.
