What is the favourite mumsnet name?

[itsawonderfuldarleneconnorlife]

Has anyone ever put a name on here that no-one has disliked?

[collision]

I think Anna was perceived as a good inoffensive name.

Underused but pretty

and


James wasnt hated either

[TrillianAstra]

No such thing - you would never get MNers to agree on anything.

[mopsyflopsy]

No.

And if so I'd avoid that name because it will be by definition super mega popular... .

[tummytickler]

I do not think so. For example - I really dislike Anna

[sophiesmummie]

Of course not - we luckily don't all share the same tastes .

Also agree with mopsy that a well liked name will by definition be mega popular, so will fall out of favour quickly too...

Isobel

Emma

I came on looking for advice on a name, as I'd gone off my original favourite of Juliet, and got an overwhelming response of 'don't change your mind!'. After looking through most of the other threads relating to Juliet, I found that most people had nothing bad to say about it. Although there were one or two people who said they didn't like it. Which obviously means that they disliked it, so wouldn't fit the criteria in your OP.

So in summary...

[ChampagneTrulyReigns]

Beauden.

Gina :o

[Woodlands]

ooh yay! my DS is James. I LOVE the name Anna but my DH wasn't too sure - our girl's choice was Zoe which seems fairly liked on here too.

[mathanxiety]

Miriam seems to meet with universal approval.

[BarbieLovesKen]

Actually when I was pregnant with DS, I came on here to ask about the name Oisín and didnt get one bad comment

[QueeferSantaland]

Sophie?

[wisteria12]

BarbieLovesKen - Well that's because Oisin is an amazing name!

I think I can remember Atticus being really popular, though most people said they'd never use it. I did though so I guess that makes me some sort of renegade.

[ChippingIn]

Miriam?? I don't think so MA.

[freerangeeggs]

People seem to be quite into Marianne but I haven't seen a specific thread on it.

[sophiesmummie]

"People seem to be quite into Marianne"

Really? I personally really dislike it.

[HappyHogmanay]

there is a Miriam thread right now - not everyone likes it.
I like Marianne, it was almost used by us for DD but we couldn't find a middle name that went with it and in the end decided that people would confuse it for Marion which we both disliked.
Atticus - no way!

[ValiumTinselton]

Marianne, Juliet, Alice, they are quite mumsnetty! I like two out of that three.

Although of course not everybody likes them. I really like Miriam but as pp says, some people dislike it.

[tammytoby]

Why are we so keen to find names that are 'approved' by random mumsnetters...?

Are we all so insecure that we need widespread approval (by people whose tastes might be in complete contrast to our own)?

[swanandduck]

There's a Miriam thread at the moment and not everyone likes it.

I agree Juliet seems to be very popular. I remember a thread where everyone was raving about Polly.
