The names that have been spoilt...

[Buntysoven]

I was reading a thread where the OP was asking opinions on two names and immediately memories of my nemesis and a neurotic ex work colleague came flooding back! Which names are perfectly lovely but have been spoilt by people who are less so?

[katemess12]

Emily.

I've known several Emily's, and all of them have been awful. At both primary school and my first high school, I was bullied by a girl named Emily (different girls). The name Thalia has been ruined for the same reason.

The name Rose is spoilt for everyone in my family thanks to a family member by that name who has a screw loose big time.

Boys names... none. Wouldn't use Matthew because it was my "first love's" name, but I have nothing against him.

[QueenLizIII]

Abigail / Abi.

Woman bitch who was the OW and my DP cheated with her.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Katie. I've yet to meet one I get on with.

I think Madeleine is a hard name to pull off after Madeleine McCann. I'm probably a bit prejudiced about that because she went missing the month DC1 was born and I felt really sorry for the endless Maddie headlines if you were a Maddie.

[TisConfusion]

Yes to Emily. I actually think it's a nice name but the two I've known are erm...well the less said the better.
Same with Laura for me. Sorry to any Lauras!
And yeah Katie as well actually. And I was very nearly named Katie! Again, I think it's a nice name but just has bad connotations for me.

[RaeSkywalker]

Georgia, Claire and Daniel.

[Sophronia]

Amy/Aimee/Amie - 3 different bullies from school, never met a nice one.

[Lovelongweekends]

Every Beckie I've known has been a nasty bully although I do know some nice Rebecca's.

[BoboBunnyH0p]

Jessica and Natalie, I was bullied by girls called these names and even though I have met nice Jessica's and Natalies since these names bring bad memories.

[BellaShLex]

Laura and Jessica, so many Laura's when I was at school that I thought it was such a common name, and my last two partners both had exes called Jessica

[BackforGood]

LOADS - it's one of the perils of being a teacher

[FairyDogMother11]

Mollie/Molly was always my name for a girl but then I met one just recently who kept trying to latch on to DP (he was oblivious but I was not ) so now I'll never ever use it. I liked Zach for a boy but DP knew one who bullied him so that's also a no now!

[AngharadTheSplendid]

Phoebe. Ex boss and total nut job.

[Duckafuck]

Gemma, Kathryn, Kerry, Katy.
Mother fucking thunder cunts all of these bitches.

[GruochMacAlpin]

I gave no good experiences with Jennys.

On the other hand my little DD thinks that Jennifer is the most beautiful name in the world so perhaps I'll end up with a Granddaughter Jennifer in 25 years or so and that will fix it for me!

[Womenareliketeabags]

Karen
Lauren

[CancellyMcChequeface]

Daisy - horrible ex-colleague.
Caoimhe - lovely name, but the only one I've met was a girl who was really nasty to me at school.

[WitchesGlove]

Macaila and Danielle- lots of horrible ones I've met

Daisy- don't like it

Susan- horrible one at school

[Thewolfsjustapuppy]

Tamsy, I knew one who was just a nutcase.
Wilma, the only one I know is totally wet.

[CourtJester]

Summer - i love it but i hated one when i was at school. She was a nasty, bratty child who was a year older than me. She would forever pull my hair and steal my bobble then i kicked her in the shin suddenly she had nothing to do with with ever again.

[OvariesBeforeBrovaries]

Bryony. Vile.

Yep being a Maddy/Maddie wasn't easy during the MM case. I was at school at the time, the "banter" was constant

[IDreamOfPeace]

Reece, Martin, Daniel, Amy, Rob, Karen, Ashleigh, Kim and Katherine. Every single one I've ever met has been the devil incarnate! Especially Reece! Just naming them makes me mad!

[ABCFamily]

Lauren - Had to deal with some PITA Laurens, but it was a heinous Laurie who drove the final nail in the coffin.

The Sarah/Sara's that I went to school with were all a bit crap too; but I've since met lovely Sarah's, so that name's been redeemed!

[cecinestpasunepipe]

Linda pinched me in Year 2. The name is tainted forever now, although I have known perfectly nice Lindas since then. I am in my 60s, and very rarely bear grudges, but for some reason this has stuck for over half a century. I have met plenty of other unpleasant people, but their names haven't been tainted by their behaviours. But Linda, bleuuuurgh! By the way, my rl name has already been mentioned - I hope it wasn't me!!!
