Anna is a sucky name now I think about it.

It's a palindrome

 

[PinkyPonk]

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

flower hater

Angus will always remind me of
Angus, thongs and perfect snogging film

just the cat is called angus and thats the only time iv ever heard it

Iv said before though im not a fan of names people give there pet dogs/cats

Alfie and Archie (to me is what old people call there dogs)
Jasper (neighbour had a dog called it)
Bailey (because its my dogs name)
OH's got a cat called Saffron which i found odd as Saffron is more a human name
Felix (always always will mean felix off the advert lol)
Milo (cats name to me)

Also not keen on xanier/zander whatever it is i just don't understand it
Maybe from different areas names are alright and are common in the area etc from place to place names change dramaticly

I have a dog called Archie and a cat called Bailey

Not a all these 'trendy' names that sound like they should be surnames, like Mckenzie, mason, spencer, emerson, addison, hudson etc.

Purposefully misspelled names are awful too!

Linzie has a sucky ring to it. Doesnt rhyme with anything, sounds like it should smell.

What the........

I spelt it wrong then.... I haven't a clue how the name is spelt... i just heard her mum shout to her.. and it was the same as the car but with an "a" at the end

portia isnt the same as the name im on about... It defo is after the car though i doubt many people name there kid after shakespeare stuff

Plenty of people do actually!

The reason I came round to my husband's name choice was because Isabella was a character in Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, and I LOVE Shakespeare. Another reason being it is synonymous with Elizabeth, which is my gran's name.

My friend named her daughter Ophelia - a character from Shakespeare!

Lots do.

When I was looking through names books when I was pregnant, in 2 books I saw the name Chlamydia listed. Hate it, and just have one question...

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!

that's just cruel and unusual punishment for a poor child, imo.

but all that aside, my biggest pet peeve isn't names so much as it is when people have their kid's initials spell out something ridiculous, like A-S-S ; how unfortunate! lol. or if they give them awful, simply dreadful nicknames that are usually irrelevant to their actual name. lol

It's really not babe hateeeee my name! My middle names are shit too, and my Last name is a brand of soup

I have to say I am also in the camp of dislike when it comes to the Aiden, Hayden, Caden, Jayden etc names. I am also not a fan of names that sound baby like or fine for a toddler but I find it babyish for an adult (Benji, Molly, Poppy, Lolly etc). My pet hates are names that tend to be used in certain areas here in NZ and are usually associated with rats tails or baby play boy bunny gear. The slogan tee shirts like "all daddy wanted was a blow job" are often worn by the Jade, Taylah, Shania, Britneee, Krystal Clan(girls) Boys tend to be names things like Levi, Harley, Jake, Jason, Jaxon, Axels.

Very judgmental of me but all areas have their pockets of people which you may not identify with.

I'm all for classic names that are simple and strong but not necessarily commonly used. If I fell in love with a name that was popular though, it probably wouldn't put me off. All that matters is that my husband and I like it and hopefully our baby does in time to come.

portia isnt the same as the name im on about... It defo is after the car though i doubt many people name there kid after shakespeare stuff

Actually, Portia is pronounced "por-sha". Portia is latin for pig. I have a pekingese who snorts like a pig and that's why I named her Portia (pronounced "por-sha"). I almost didn't just because I didn't want people thinking I named her after the car, so now everytime someone gives me that weird look I say, "It's P-o-r-t-i-a and it's Latin. I did not name her after the car!"

Some people pronounce the Porsche car as "por-sha" and other people pronounce it "porsh", although I'm not sure of the correct pronunciation.
A girl I went to high school with named her baby girl Porsche just like the car and I HATE it. They pronounce it "por-sha".

It's weird how the spelling alone can affect whether or not I like a name when it sounds exactly the name (when pronounced por-sha).

my name is Porsche (pronounced por-sha...) i love it

I think it's a very cool name! Like Portia di Rossi!

 

[babyhopesxx]

I hate boy names like Tyler, Connor, Joshua, they are so common and just crap. Dont like chavvy names either like Diesel, Denzel, Levi, Tyreese or Caine... just awful.

I don't like the name Chloe for a girl, it's just so common. Or chavvy girl names like Mercedes and Cheyanne.
