What are some names you dislike?

[Bartness]

Renesemee is Horrible! How the heck is it even pronounced? I never could figure it out! LOL!

 

[Cleo]

Haha! I think it's re-NEZ-may. Sooooo awful!

Me and my friends pronounce it Ren-ez-mee. But i think she's ^ right. We just have quite common accents.

i always thought it was ren-ez-may... after her mother and his mother. and her middle name was awful too... carlee? or something. honestly, i HATE kids given names that belong to someone else, so mixing both together to make a new name sucks even more

I didnt get it either. I mean i know you said you dislike it, but i personally dont mind using family names. We're thinking about using BIL's first name as a boys middle name.

But to incorporate all of their parents name into a their childs name? I know its only a book, but i thought it was really stupid

Madison. And every variation of. (Madisyn, Maddisen, Maddysen etc etc). Also, Addison.
All the -ayden names. (Brayden, Cayden, Zayden, Hayden etc etc).

I'm not a fan (but don't hate) really common names like Bella, Isabelle, Eva, Sophia etc for girls. And I hate Jace for boys, but that's because my name is Jayce (very uncommon for a girl, even in the 80s), and the more boys with the name, the more likely I am to have to change my given name out of sheer annoyance.

Just found this thread

I hate the girls names: Chardonnay, Phoenix, Lilly, Faith/Fayth (especially with the y), Kathleen, Christina, Lindsey, Harriet, Mackenzie, Tilly, Jodie, Kloe, Sienna, Arabella, Brianna, Kayleigh, Demi, Alexis, Lexi, Tammy, Shannon, Jade.. I don't know why, I just don't like them.

Boys: Bentley, Freddie, George, Andrew, Wayne, Kayden, Hayden (I like Jayden though), Tyler, Leo, Levi, Elliot, Cade, Cian/Kian, Samuel.. again no idea why.

Also one of my Mum's friends has 2 daughters, one has called her children Chad, Diesel-Adam (!!), Phoenix and Zander. The other has a daughter called Georgea, which I like, just not the spelling.

I dont like girls names that sound like they are a boy's name with an 'a' or 'ine' at the end. So names like...Roberta, Alberta, Geraldine, Paula/Pauline, ect.

 

[butterpecan]

Jayden, Kayden, Payden, Slayden, Zayden etc.

Nevaeh (worst name ever).

 

[TheNewMrs]

This thread cracks me up. I HATE the name Eileen

 

[vaniilla]

I don't like a lot of names I've read the thread to remind myself of the names I don't like

all the names ending in aiden,
finley/finlay/fin
really common names,
ava, may/mae,
Mackenzie or any variation of it,
uniquely spelled names like aimee, kloe
Candice,
place names, religious/verb names like hope, faith etc
not a fan of Chantelle type names,
harley/hailey/Bailey, names ending ley in general,
brooke,
double barrel first names,
ghetto names
chavvy names
American names
Nevaeh
Niamh
names ending in leigh
kevin
3/4 middle names
Lola


some names I don't like because of people but generally I don't like them because of what they represent/how common they are/how they sound, I don't think we'd ever name our lo with anything on the top 100 names

 

[DaisyM]

I can't stand double barrelled names! I quite like quirky spellings (see Aleah & Kathryn lol!) but I can't stand names like Emily, Jack, Oliver (sorry!) They're just so popular!

 

[Cassie.]

I also hate names double barrelled with Leigh, Lee or May at the end. I have known of an Amy-Lee, Chelsea-Lee, Indi-Leigh, Katie-Leigh, Lily-May, Ellie-May, Ebony-May, Ella-May.. I just don't like it

 

[OliviaRae]

I don't like the "-aden" names either. Also, way too many Brittney, Ashley, Kristin, Katie, etc. I really hate the name "Keith" for a boy!

 

[Abigator0806]

My sons name is Kaden, I don't like how popular its gotten lately. 8 years ago it wasn't so popular but now it's everywhere and it drives me crazy! I call him Kade or Charlie though, people always get confused when I tell them his name is Kaden but I call him Charlie, lol then I have to explain it's because I used to call him Charlie Brown because it rhymed with things I said to him all the time, get down, slow down, sit down, put that down, hahahaha. Anyways, so I've added "-aiden" names to the list of names I don't like...
~Boys~
Branden, Brenden, Brennen, Brayden
Max (It's become mighty popular with people who think it's "different")
Kai, or anything that can be shortened to Kai
Cain, Kaine, Kane
Kaleb, Caleb
Giovanni

~Girls~
Nevaeh
Serenity
Any city/state name Brooklyn, Georgia, Savannah
Mackenzie
Makayla
Peyton
Chloe
Brianna or any variation of it

 

[Hayley90]

somebody called Pernilla emailed me last week.

 

[PitaKat]

I can't think of any that I HATE. But I do have a LOT that I don't like. Pretty much anything that's popular right now, I'm not a fan of. Also, weird spellings get to me. If the spelling is slightly different then I like it (like Katheryn instead of Katherine), but it irks me if the spelling has really been changed from the original (like Natahlee instead of Natalie). Poor child will have to deal with people mispronouncing their name. But then, people's preferences are different, some people really do love a unique spelling

 

[Cassie.]

I forgot about Kane, I don't like that either. Two girls I know have both called their sons Kane, which I find a bit odd as they're best friends and their sons were born 2 months apart. I wouldn't name my baby a name that my closest friend had just called her baby :/

 

[Rhio92]

I was thinking today hpw much I hate the name 'Phoebe' (sp)... Dunno why

 

[Embovstar]

I've not given much thought to girls names, but as far as boys are concerned, Noah, Harry, Alfie...no, no, no!
