"I've never met a nasty <insert name>...."

[notanumber]

It's funny how your liking of a name is influenced by people you know. On any given name thread, someone will always pipe up, 'I was bullied by a Gemma/Mandy/Annabel at school so I hate that name now', but it's rarer that people say 'God, that's an objectively horrible name, but I know a fabulous Gertrude so I actually really like it now'.

I don't go in much for Irish names usually, but I make an exception for Siobhán. I've never met a nasty one. All the Siobháns I've ever come across have been really sunny and lovely.

However all (ok, most) of the Joshuas I've met are a different matter.

I've only ever come across Joshua's of questionable character too!!! ...quite an effeminate name I feel

I've yet to meet a nasty Alice, nor Jemima for that matter, needless to say these are two of my favourites!

There seems to be something about the Gemma's and Jessica's that I've met too

[blueberrymoon]

Hmmm...

"I've never met a nasty Kate"

Every Connor I've met has been a little tinker!

[blueberrymoon]

[PaperView]

I've never met a nasty Janet. BUt i don't think that name is making a come back!

I know of many Joshua's so it's a mixed name here.

[JenniL1977]

I have a Joshua who works for me who's almost the coolest person I've ever met
I've never met a nasty Alex, Claire, Ellie, Lizzie, Gemma, Erin, Jude, Penny, John, Michael or Stephen

[ScarlettWalking]

James , nor an unattractive one either.....

[ScarlettWalking]

Emmas are normally very bitchy

[FollowMe]

Joshuas and Harrys are usually naughty
never met a nasty alice or ben

[ValiumSoltera]

I think it's just so irrelevant. I hate when somebody says 'oh i know a gorgeous little Hyacinth'. That means nothing. I mean, it does to the person who knows the hyacinth, because their preconceptions of what a hyacinth looks like have been altered, but i don't think you can spread that on a thread.

[MelinaM]

Hello, hello Blueberry

I'm adding Emma to the list too!!!

[blueberrymoon]

Emma to which list!?

I agree with Scarlett!

[halfcaffodils]

All the Lauras I know (4) are lovely.

[halfcaffodils]

Most of the weddings I have been to have involved a James or an Andrew. (But not both).

[PelvicFloorsOfSteel]

I've also only encountered lovely Bens and Alices.

I did encounter an awful Siobhan at school but she didn't have the accent thingy - maybe that makes a difference! [smle]

[MelinaM]

Emma to the 'lovely list' Blueberry

Yes I agree with Scarlett too! ..my first bf was James, and a handsome chap he was ...scuttles off to look for said chap on FB!!!

[Finessa]

Yes, I agree with Laura.

Also, I've only ever met lovely people named Paul, Lucy, Hannah, Susan & Callum

[JamaicaGeisha]

Katie, Tom and Jenny are nice.

Every Jade (female) I have met has been a complete bitch.

[JamaicaGeisha]

Oh, and most Beckys have been nice.

[Wafflenose]

All the Laurens I've ever known have been lovely. I used it for dd2!
