What are some names you dislike?

[wookie130]

I hate the names "Trey" or "Justice"...I know 2 children by both of these names, and they just sound too new-fangled to me.

I don't have anything against the girl "Kay" names...I think they are just too overused...such as Kaylee, Kaleigh, Kaylea, Kaitlin. I do like good ol' Katie though!

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!

I know but I can't help it. I won't mention the names as I do not want people thinking their kids will be naughty...I'm sure it's just coincidence

There are some names I could never choose, not because I dislike the names themselves, but because thinking of them makes me think of the troublemaking kids in my school days! I never got to see those kids grow up, so the names just conjure up a mental image of the naughty kids. One name in particular I also associate with its holder always wearing a dirty tee-shirt!

I hate Jayden, Cayden, Hayden, Aiden names,

I also really dislike,
Ella-mae,
Lilly-Mae
Ellie-Mai
Rosie-May
Layla-may
Annie-Mae
Or any other Stupid "May" you can think of because every female in my area named their poor kid something like that.

I dislike names like Crystal, Destiny, Miracle, Precious - to me they are stripper names!

I also dislike them made up names like LaDasha and LaSheria and LaTisha..... Oh help me Jesus the poor children!!!



I love this thread!
Thank you OP, a placee to honestly say names are awful and not worry about causing offence!

I totally agree!!!!

My OHs 2 year old daughter is named Serenity May and I think it's the worst mix of everything you said. It's just a common strippers name (so common that we've heard it as a stripper and pole dancers name 2 times on TV recently), it's bloody awful. It's so chavalicious.
And atm in terrible twos she is anything but serene...
The poor kid.
He knows I can't stand it Hearing him shout it is ridiculous too.. "Serenity!!" It's just stupid, how did he not imagine having to shout that and not have people look like "What the hell?"
He is proud of her name, as he likes it so much.. which is good as it isn't going to change now but I feel bad everytime he tells someone it and their reactions the look of confusion or horror on their faces and he always gets "Oh, well thats different. Serenity..is that it?"

At least she can call herself Seren when she's older if she wants. I just hope she doesn't get teased for it and actually loves it, for her dads sake if nothing else.

names like margaret and maureen, they remind me of my grandma who is named maureen but i dont think its a real cute baby name

Lol my nans are margaret and maureen lol. I like Margaret as a middle name thought xx

 

[c1403]

I have quite a few pet hates with names
1- I hate names that arent spelt correctly like Aimee (Amy) Lucie (lucy) things like that...
2- I also dislike all the names that end -ie that are so popular at the moment Alfie, Archie, Freddie etc.
3- I dont like shortening names either

Saying that the names i like are traditional names that i know my MIL will not like (she likes all the above lol)

I like Henry, William, George, Violet, Flora, Elizabeth so quite boring but i love them

xx

 

[Kittique]

I hate names that sound far too over the top and are often spelt 'uniquely' and just look silly. Like Lexii-mai, Baili-ann, Anni-rosa. I think they sound and look ridiculously chavvy and OTT! I also dislike the names Jayden/Kayden/Brayden as in the UK they are far too overused and often chavvy. Also Caleb/kaleb I really don't like.

I don't like my own name - Eleanor - I don't like names that people can't pronounce or spell correctly, which I always get with my name.

I love your name and it's been on my list of gorgeous girls names forever. I knew an Eleanor at primary school and she is the one and only I've ever known, I think it is a great name!

Lol, thanks. I find people either love it or hate it. I'm actually named after my mums best friend from school.

I just don't like it when people call me "El-an-nor" - I know there is a "nor" on the end but it's pronounced "El-an-na".

I also hate being called "Ellie" the only nickname I like (and is what most people call me - even my mum) is Elle, said like the letter "L".

I'm just too fussy basically, people don't stand a chance

 

[Elisheva009]

I don't like the name OSNAT (pronounced OZ-nat).

For some reason, I randomly told my DH that I don't like it, then he told me he has an aunt with that name! I was so suprised because it is not the kind of name you hear every day! Luckily he was not offended and said he doesn't like the name either.

 

[Spaggy37]

A friends friend called her daughter Sassy Cha-cha Angelita - Poor child & originally was gonna be just Cha-cha :S

 

[ProudMummyy]

I really really dislike names such as Stephen, David, Richard, Carol etc.. they are just really really common 'office' names i'd call them. I just can't picture the names on a little baby

 

[Scottishgem]

I like proper boys names like stanley, winston, james, alfred, albert and David which is my husbands name, i don't like boys names like bailey, mason, aden names again, for girls i like florence(flo), ruby, kathryn, daisy, rose, and i dont like girls names like, teigan, morgan, bailey etc and am not a fan of cities as names like london, paris etc, my friend called her girl ami leigh which i think is a bit pikey to be honest, but each to there own, it would be a boring world if we all liked the same names.

 

[lissaw]

I don't like Fraya, Imogen, and Esme

 

[Trying4Angel1]

hehe cha cha from grease the movie lol

 

[ellemonkey]

I cannot stand anything with a -leigh, -lee, -ee or -lay at the end for a girl.
Kimberleigh, emberleigh, destinee, ashleigh etc etc, sound horribly tacky

I love proper quirky names though, original and ones you only hear once in your life like Soren, Bryher, or Elora, Craven and indigo

Disney and character names i adore too like Ariel, Matilda, Lavender, Esmerelda or Scarlet

Boys names, I cant stand Mason, corey, tyler, tayler, ethan or anything in the top 10 of popular names

 

[leigh5tom]

Worst boys name for me is Kyi. Can't imagine a 50 year old man called Kyi lol

I also hate names that have some kind of ridiculous spelling, like my top name for a girl at the minute is Katie, but ive seen it spelt Kaytee, Kay-ti, and the same with Chloe (klowee, Cloe, Klhoe)

My little baby girl was called Katie-Alexis... in my mind there is only 1 way to spell Katie and that is with an -ie

 

[Cleo]

There's honestly only one name that I could say that I hate...there are those that I'm not fond of or wouldn't use bc they're too popular, but can see why other parents like them. The only one that I completely can't stand though, is...Renesmee! What were you thinking Stephenie Meyer?! Oh well, I don't think too many readers are going to use THAT one to name their kids after! Horrible!
