What are some names you dislike?

[sweetmere]

I can't stand extremely common names. I also don't like "old" sounding names...like Brenda, Sue, Jim, Bob, Patsy, Penny, Greta...the list goes on and on.

OH and the popular name "Ophelia"...seriously? Why would you name a baby that, and it won't grow with them until their 65th birthday. Nicknaming them "Ophie" doesn't help.

Thank you so much for this.

I've always loved the name Ophelia - now it's just not the same, I totally get what you said, that it won't grow with them and never heard that nickname Ophie and ick, no no no.

Ophelia is off my dream name list

I cannot stand the name kalisha! It is just awful in my opinion lol, but hey each to their own and all that

 

[sweetmere]

Sorry to take it off of your dream list! Lol I actually thought it was okay until I went to a birthday party, and heard the name spoken TO the baby and that nickname used. It just seemed wrong!

Lol, don't be sorry at all! It really made me laugh.
It's usually how I end up not liking a name anymore, someone says something that I didn't think of about the name.
My sister is usually the one who ruins names for me lol.

I think there are more names than I dont like than I do like! Most names I dont like are because I associate them with someone!
I dont like... Aiden, Aaron, Ashlyn, Josh, Rhys,Ryan, Rebecca, Natasha, Sarah, Kiera, Kian, Keeley, Katelyn, Kayden,Hayden, Chanel, Chantelle, Mercedes, Porsche (Children should not be named after cars.... in my opinion of course!) My list could go on and on!
Ok so I think looking at my list I like more traditional names which I dont associate with a certain person! Shame how one person can put you off anotherwise nice name such as Megan... totally ruined for me!

I hate when people misspell names, especially traditional ones...stuff like Jaymes, Emileigh, and Lucee just looks silly to me. I also imagine it would be frustrating for the kid because they'll have to spend their lives correcting peoples spellings of their name (I have a friend who has to do that a lot because her first name starts with a different letter than the proper spelling.)

 

[Mummyjohnson]

I don't like names that sounds like surnames. I.e. names ending with 'son' and such like. x

 

[jasica88]

I hate names that sound old... Like Ed... lol

 

[mammytoerin]

Years ago, I heard that someone had called their twins 'Dolce' and 'Gabbana' ... That's just wrong!!

 

[mammytoerin]

I also heard that someone had called their daughter Pocahontas!! I can't stand silly names, especially when they are combined with very ordinary surnames!

 

[MegnJoe]

Kaden ...every single boy I've met named kaden is a brat..sorry if ur son is named kaden..I've only met 3 so don't be mad at me! I like very traditional names tho. And I don't like fad names lol and I can say that my name is Meghan!

 

[Arlee]

I don't like the names Sarah, Jane, Wendy, Fanny plus lots more.

 

[Cassie.]

I don't like names that are spelt wrong.. my sister-in-law's brother-in-law is called Jaymz, he hates it now he's 24.

 

[xxchloexx]

every new baby girl i see now is called "Kayla" its not that i hate the name i just find it sooooo common now and boring..

Also noticed my name "Chloe" is on the list as its 'boring' and 'too common'
Just want to say as a Chloe , I was the only one in my school for 12 years.. Never came across another Chloe..
But now it seems to be used alot, But when i was growing up i was considered to have a very unusual name and people use to ask my mam where the hell she got it from ha..

 

[babyylovee]

I like Jayden but Seems like everyone has named their child that .

 

[megrenade]

Richard​

I know someone with the name Ophelia, it really suits them and is beautiful and unusual.

Horses for courses I guess.

I've read the later half of this thread... too funny!! I've seen my stepson's name mentioned quite a few times (it's an -yden name) and I hate it too! Mine has been mentioned twice that I saw

I hate biblical names - Noah, Elijah, Micah, etc. I definitely hate made up names, names that have -i- endings (Tiffani, Brittani), and the super common names right now for the US - Jacob, Ava, Sophia, Emma, etc. I could list way too many!!!
