Names that make your toes curl!

[Mrsknackered]

Esmeralda
Rosamund/Rosalind/Roseanna
Celeste

No reason they just make me feel funny!
Lighthearted- no offence meant.

[SoupDragon]

You may not mean any offence but it is going to cause some.

[NotaSnowflake]

Guaranteed... (Sadly, as funny as some are!)

[IamScarfaceClaw]

Agree with PPs....but I submit 'jaiden/jayden'

[DramaAlpaca]

I'm not in the least bit offended, but I happen to think all those names you mention are lovely.

We all have different tastes.

[CaoNiMa]

This will not go well.

However, the names "Callum" and "Tatum" make me cringe slightly. It's the "-um" ending.

[plimsolls]

Obviously this will cause offence. Not many people would enjoy reading that their own name or their child's name makes someone's toes curl. I'm not sure saying "lighthearted and not intending to cause offence" stops that from happening.

[cauliwobbles]

Jaiden
Jayden
Jacob
Caden
Cody-Lee
Reece
Alfie
Brittany
Brooke
Darcy
Ellie
Probably loads and loads more and any hyphenated name.

[Woody67]

I'm not keen on surnames used as first names.

[HainaultViaNewburyPark]

I hate my own name. I want to cringe every time someone uses it. I dislike the sound of it. It's a very common, classic name.

[Railgunner1]

Jorja -- the spelling... just why?

[Mrsknackered]

Thought this may happen. Sorry! Just thought it's interesting how people's tastes differ.
I have seen my DCs names appear on threads before and people have disliked them.
Infact a PP on this has said she hates my sons name on a previous thread

[CrazyCatLaydee123]

Chloe and Phoebe.

Plus any other non-phonetic names!

[BoboBunnyH0p]

Jessica and Natalie, but that's linked to the fact I was bullied by girls with those names. I've met some lovely Jessica's and Natalie's over the years but I still feel awful when I hear those names.

[Doublejeopardy]

Madison, Harrison, Lacey, Tarquin,

[JujuMonster]

Shelby - absolutely no idea why though

Alice also gets me, but I think it's because I experience synesthaesia that links colours (and occasionally tastes) to names, and Alice is a "yellow" name that tastes sour to me. Go figure.

On a similar note, I particularly like names beginning with R and J as these are brown and blue colour names that just look nice to me.

[Rockaby]

Hainault I used to hate my name too and would even blush sometimes when I introduced myself. I still prefer my nicknames to my full name if I'm honest, but I have lately started to really like my name. Possibly that's because I think it's come back into fashion recently, which just shows how bloody fickle I am!

Re the OP, I'm not keen on strange spellings, (unless there is a particular reason for it), or 'cute' hyphenated girl names, but each to their own etc. I wouldn't say they make my toes curl or anything. They just aren't to my taste.

[Madbengalmum]

Shelby
Josh
Jack
Jude
Harrison
Harley
Darcey

No,no,no

[user99009960546]

Samuel - can't stand it

Also skyler, Rocco, Tyler,

[omnishamblesssssssssssssss]

Elliot

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Agree, Tatum and Natalie.
This won't go down well, apologies in advance 😬
Lydia, Georgia and Amelia.

[midsomermurderess]

Emily, it is so wishy washy, Libby, so twee and generally names picked so as to give a predetermined nickname.

[JonSnowsWhore]

Double funnily enough the name Harrison makes my toes curl too. Mainly because I don't ever stop having to screech it out at my arsehole child 50,000 times a bloody day & I am now sick of the name 😂

[JujuMonster]

Seth

Starting to see a few little Seth's pop up around here. It just lacks substance.

I've got a lot of love for Darcy though which has already been mentioned here twice. Just shows its each to there own!

[ShoutOutToMyEx]

My name is one of the ones you've listed in your OP.
