What are some names you dislike?

[LockandKey]

I don't like super popular names like

Sophia
the Aden, Jayden, Caden craze
Olivia
Ava

I just don't like these names

Sloane
Piper
Honor
Braydon
Wynter
Bentley
Neveah
Mercedes

Some of the city names, like

Brooklyn
London
Paris

I also can't stand word names or item names like

Ever
Clementine
Apple
Seven
Velvet
Diamond

And the backwards names, ugh
Neveah Tnes Legna

I also hate it when people horribly misspell a beautiful and classic name, or replace letters with "Y" "K" or "Leigh"

There's probably more, but I can't think of them all at the top of my head. No offence to anyone, this is just my personal opinion

I dont like names like Tracey/stacey etc. Not sure how Hayden can be an uproffesional name as an adult your name is your name by the time your an adult it doesnt matter lol! but great thread looking forward to looking through it all xx

so on further reflection and loads of laughs

i also dont like names

zoe
sharon
cameron
destiny
hope faith etc
mckenzie

names like daisy and poppy etc are cute but still wouldnt name my child that


oh and totall invented names that just sound awful or names you have to explain and spell to people at least 5 times...

i also dont even like my own name

 

[alibaba24]

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.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

pretty much any name thats look thrown together.

Kayden
Hayden
Jayden
Brayden
Brandon
Jordon



also the "lee" sounding names
Riley
bailey
kayleigh
Leigh
Amy-leigh
hayLEIGH


also i REALLY hate the name Hallie for a girl, alot of "chavy" people around here started using it a while back, now we will likely have an entire year group of girls called Hallie and i don't like their mums lmao! best reason ever not to like a name

My tastes are boring tho, i mostly like "traditional" names - Michael, Matthew, Luke, Alexander,Samuel, etc

My friend had a baby over a year ago, and i remember she was sat in my living room asking my help on choosing a name for her boy between, Bailey, and Brandon... was honestly the most akward hour of my life, because they are my two least favourite baby names ever! Don't take it personally tho lol some of the names on that list belong to my actual nephew and nieces ! ahah x


oh yeah and Mai and Mae in ANY context, its spelt wrong lol

[Hayley90]

this is actually the best thread since sliced bread. so funny how SO MANY people hate the -ayden craze, yet there are gazillions of them walking (crawling) around

 

[FM_DJ]

I'm not a fan of combo names..... combining two names together to make (or rather try to make) a name. Example: My cousin and her husband couldn't decide between Maverick or Elijah for their son, so his name (dead serious) is Elighric. They pronounce it "Ah-leer-ick". No one in our family can pronounce it, and they were so frustrated with it that they decided to let us call him "Eli" for short. *sigh* Poor kid is going to have such a time later on in life correcting everyone who says his name.

alibaba, love the name Rosalie!

I also hate rhyming twin names..
I have heard of:
Lily and Millie
Millie and Molly &
Chloe and Zoe

One of the chavviest names I've heard is Taylah. I think it's awful.
I don't like Anna-May, it just sounds like anime.

I'm not keen on boys names used for girls like Bobby/Bobbie/Bobbi, Jamie and Leigh. I have even heard of a little girl named Michael.

I don't like double barreled names ending in Leigh or Jo, especially those with a boys first name. I know of Terri-Leigh, Billie-Jo, Sammie-Jo and Jamie-Leigh.. just not my cup of tea for a girl.

oh i also hate rhyming twins names lol .. and when people try and get twin names that go together.. like willow and sage or jasmine and jade .. its like WHY! ?!

 

[LilSnowflake]

I wasnt going to respond to this b/c im worried i'll offend someone! But then i thought its all just personal opinion, and we cant all like the same thing, so...

I really intensely dislike old-fashioned, traditional or common names.. especially those that sound like old-man or old-lady names, like:

BOYS names i DONT like:

Alfie
Archie
Arthur
Eric
Frederick
George
Henry
Harry
Tom
Ivan
Ivor
Bill
Bob
Ben
Timothy
Jack
James
John
Oliver
Mark
David
Martin
Melvyn
Percy (lol)
Teddy
Stan
William

GIRLS names i DONT like

Gertrude
Melanie
Elsie
Julie
June
Clementine
Constance
Fanny
Margaret
Olive
Dorothy
Edith
Greta
Ivy
Eilene
Mabel
Pearl
Opal
Marjorie
Esme

etc etc etc. Just not for me. Im more into the slightly more uncommon or unusual names.

A lot of people would probably hate the names that were on our baby-name list though!, such as:

BOYS names i LOVE:

Troy
Rocco
Shay
Neo
Koby
Zeke
Zane
Mikah
Theo
Milo
Beau
Zachery/Zaki
Bailey/Baylee,
Mackenzie (Kenzie)

Isla
Phoebe
Bonnie
Petal
Destiny
Shannon
Autumn
Winter
Breeze
Pixie
Sapphire
Star
Skye
Tegan/Teigan
Princess
Raine
Trinity

I found boys names reeeeeally hard - there are so many more interesting girls names out there than lads imo.

Loving this thread!
Personally I do not like most names so I have/had the hardest time coming up with a names for our children. Generally, I do not care for names where the parents are trying to make their kid sound like they are 'too cool or exotic' for the rest of the world.
After reading many of the posts it has confirmed even more that you cannot make everyone happy. One poster will hate a name that another poster named their child and loves.

 

[cooch]

There are so many people that post names they love that just simply sound made up. I'm not mentioning them, but those are the ones I detest.

 

[Kindra]

I like most names but thats just me. There are names that I don't prefer but if someone wants to name their child that then who am I to judge. I don't like made up names at all but again thats just personal taste . I always don't like it when people say that there are rules to naming your child like all the names in the sibset need to go together . Ugh seriously its your child! Who cares if the names go ?

I agree, I mean they are not going to live in a sibset for their whole lives. However, now that I am expecting my 3rd boy I do find myself thinking along these lines. Some lame psychological thinking goes on in my head, "if #3's name does not fit in with the other 2 then he may not fit in with his brothers". Then I have to remind myself that is just nonsense. I have seen our #1 name on our list on this thread...Felix as well as our first sons name "Noah". Can't please everyone.

Working at a doctor's office, I see insane names sometimes that just make me cringe. Some examples: Tahilliary, Bawlsy, Weedle and Or'angelo. My sister's ex is Talon Grineger which blows my mind. My coworker's daughter is M'orie which is pronounced Emery (which I admit, I like... but spelled like the latter.) My OH's twin cousins are Karla and Karl (gag) and Nathaniel Daniel (I laughed for ages when this name was annouced. My mom said if it'd had been a girl, she would have been Savannah Susannah!) And both sides of my family have a knack for unattractive names: Orland Elroy, Hulis, Susannah Susan Margo, Asberry Fletcher, Crassey, Abram, Versanny, Green and Ridden.

I think most people will be with me on hating the name Sherry.. it's so horrible

 

[cooch]

OMG

In some ways I agree with you, but all names were "made up" at one point in time.

 

[charleybootS]

I don't think there's many names I particularly hate, the one thing that does craze me is when people change the spelling of a name to make it appear more "cool" or "original" it's drives me potty

We had big issues when we were trying to think of names for our little one, we were team yellow and had Oliver Robert for a boy and nothing for a girl right up until she was born, I came out with Freya in Theatre lol. Glad I had a girl as i've gone right off Oliver Robert now
