What are some names you dislike?

[Hayley90]

LOL, tbh other than this board I've never heard the expression Aunt Flo before in my life - I don't think it's a very English saying

Agreed, its definately not a common knowledge term!

And i know a few Florence's... one shortens it to Flossy, the other is Fliss. x

I know a Florence shortened to Florrie too

Now that is cute!!! (although, is it not the name of a fimble... you know the kids tv show x

No idea My surname actually rhymes with Florrie and I really wanted Florence as a name for LO. I thought a rhyming name as a nickname was cute but no one agreed with me

i know someone who had a little girl not long after i had my 2nd ds and she named her betty rose,when she said what she was calling her when she was pregnant lots of people said(don't like that/how old fashioned),but when we all saw her it actually suited her and sounded really cute,lol ,wouldn't have it for my daughter(if i had one),but alot of the old names are making there way back popular now

 

[Iana]

I personally hate names based on Hollywood movies...

 

[Cherryhrf]

After reading all 39 pages - you do have to be thick skinned lol - My poor Connor's name got mentioned far to much Also a few Harrison's and James'. The only name I have chosen that has got positive mentions is my dogs name Florrie (and yes after the Fimbles character!) I'm also one of those annoying mums who gives their child a long name and then never call them by it, my boys are actually Cons, Jay & Harry and thats how I love them. Real names are for telling off and for form filling.

Anyway just to add a few of my own:
Boys
Luke (I know far to many)
Oliver (again far to many)
Corey
Brandon
Keith
Kevin
Calvin
Wayne
Ian
Neil
Michael
David
Paul
Jaygo

One girls name I really hate is Cheryl. To close to my name Cherry, people just assume its short for Cheryl and insist on calling me it, even when they see my name written down. One lady (who I had spoken to about a dozen times went around telling people Cherry was short for Cheryl. No its not!!! ARRGGGGHHHH!!!!

lots of girls names I don't hate but would never use because they are just to common (Olivia, Eliza, Amelia, Ava, Grace, Evie etc).

 

[diz]

i hate the names
Vincent,
Veronica,
Verruca (like who the hell would call their daughter after a viral clump of foot skin!) Wayne,
Eric,
Erica
Landon, Sounds like a cockney saying London.

sooo many more.....

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

I am not a huge fan of shortened names. Matthew is Matthew not Matt (grrr)..Math if pushed for a short name.

 

[JellyBeann]

David...I hate the name David lol, with a passion!

 

[sarah1989]

I do not care for the --Aiden/Ayden names... Hayden, Braydon, Grayden, Jaiden etc... they are overused!

Other names that I don't like are:
Lisa/Leasa, Annika, Dana, Bethany, Deborah, Lacy, Michelle, Cecily, Rebecca, Syreeta, Amanda, Ruth, Susan, Eryn, Harlow, Harper, Grace, Lily, Ruby, Carly, Elyse, Jessica, Francesca, Ellianna, Gianna, Ariana

Max/Maximilian, Andrew, Oliver, Alfie, Oscar, Jackson/Jaxon, Anthony, Henry, Harold, Charlie/Charles, Zachary, Xavier, Christian, Levi, Isaiah, Thomas, Scott, Victor, Miles, Jesse, Drew, Mason, Harley, Harvey

I cannot stand celebrity names such as:
Apple, Knox, Wolfgang, Memphis, Sailor, Phoenix, LaPrincia, Coco, Krishna, Sparrow, Arpad, Buddy Bear, Petal Blossom Rainbow, Bronx Mowgli, Locklyn, Honor, Piper

Everyone has their own likes and dislikes, but being different is the best part!

 

[snowangel187]

There are plenty of names I dislike. I don't want to offend anybody so I won't list them.. I think it's more ignorant to make fun of or tell somebody they dislike the name. People have different taste and styles, just like when it comes to clothes, paint colors, decorations, favorite foods. etc. to each their own.
I once heard of a girl who named her kid Ashley but spelled it 'Asshole'. Assh-o-le that's ignorant. I think people should be considerate and do their best to choose a name that will fit their child and not cause them to be the laughing stock of school.

 

[JellyBeann]

I wanted to call LO Joshua...I love Joshua, but hate Josh lol, so we didn't use it, as he would have been Josh at some point!

 

[Sugarbaby]

I don't like names ending in '-ene' or 'een' - My mother is one of 9 kids, and the 7 girls all end in 'een' - Noeleen, Raeleen, Kayleen, Karleen, Gayleen, Marleen and one I can't remember right now!

Also not a fan of 'eryl' - Meryl, Beryl (my grandma), Cheryl, etc.

So basically I don't like names in my family

 

[annawrigley]

I ruled out loads of names for that reason!

 

[clarsair]

There aren't any I really hate but there are quite a few I hear and think "chavvy" or "not another one!".

I'm not listing them because I'm sure it'll only offend someone!

 

[Stormynights]

Like some others in this thread, I don't much like the more modern boys' names with "ay" in the middle, like Jayden, Kayden, Hayden etc. but the funny thing is I don't think I'd mind them if only they were spelled without the y!! Not sure why I hate that "ay" so much - I think it's because it exaggerates the pronunciation in my mind so that I can't help but imagine them said in an obnoxiously chavvy accent and that puts me off. (my imaginary chav voice: JAIIIYYYYYYYY-DUHHN! ) Like, even an old-fashioned name like James, I would not be able to stand it if it were spelled Jaymes. (Imaginary chav voice: JAIIIIYYYYYMZZZZ!)

So funny because I like the "y" in the middle of the name I think it's cute. I don't like names like Leonard, Bernard, Manard, Charles, Thomas, Catherine, Cathy, Cheryl, anything too old fashion or just yucky sounding.

 

[sarah0108]

I know i'll offend people here but heres a few names i dont like..

Emily, Amelia, Jayden, isabelle, annabelle, my own name sarah , elizabeth. olivia, katie


there are more and funnily enough i know of loaddds of people with these names

 

[Ju_bubbs]

If I had to write some that i hate, it would have to be more traditionsl style names, OH was dead set on calling LO Catherine or Elizabeth, these are exactly the names that I wouldn't ever call my baby.. it's not that I dislike them, if someone says to me they've chosen Elizabeth, I would genuinely say 'oh thats a really nice name' but.. I dunno why I couldn't ever call my baby a traditional name!! (lucky for the sake of LO's name that he decided he wasn't man enough to stick around! lol)

I hate it when people pick random names that sound completely made up, becuase the name has a 'meaning' they like in their culture.. some friends of friends Named their lil boy Gethin, they're welsh, and said they chose it because of its welsh meaning being important to them... but when I looked up the meaning of it, iit means 'dark skinned' the couple and their family have pasty white skin, so I'm not understanding that!!! lol

I'm a teacher (secondary school) so there's some names I do not like because I, and I know it's wrong, associate certain names with naughty children. There appears to be a trend, well at my school anyway, where certain names end up being the naughty pupils. Bad I know but every teacher I know do the same as me...occupational hazard I guess!

I do that too with the other kids at my kids school, and the kids they play with in our estate! Such a horrible thing to do!
