[MollyHuaCha]

It’s all going to end in tears...

[DramaAlpaca]

This thread won't end well, these kinds of thread in Baby Names never do.

[KERALA1]

Anything in top 10 on grounds of dullness

[Waddlingwanda]

Don’t really hate anything but I’d advise against anything like Fanny, Gaynor or Willy on current times meanings. Seems a bit harsh to use these now

[JoanLenin]

Jasper. It's a dog name.
Jeremy.
Molly, Polly, Poppy, Milly, Daisy or any other cutesy name that to me sounds very Victorian.

[Littleraincloud]

I hate anything hyphenated and surnames as first names

[stopbeingadramallama]

Jayden, kayden etc.

Anything -may. Or anything with a ‘-‘ in the middle.

I think Jack, Josh, Ellie, Abbey, Sophie etc.(all very popular names) are very boring.

[IggyAce]

Hate names that are hyphenated, lily-sue, Evie-Lyn, Amy-May, Lilly-Rose and Jeano-james are just a few I've come across recently.

[Caulk]

There was a thread like this quite recently and loads of people ended up flouncing around because their name or their DC name was mentioned. It didn’t end well...

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Alice
Madison
Martha
Sean

[overnightangel]

Never ceases to amaze me how wrapped up people get in names . If that’s is all folk have to worry about life must be really tough .
Give your kid a name that doesn’t get them beaten up at school, job done

[CherriesInTheSnow]

I think these threads are a little mean spirited, plus we all know names, like most things, are highly subjective so what's the point, as every single name is going to have people who think it's lovely and some who think it's awful. So genuinely don't see the point in these.

Having said that (!) I don't like Robert at all. Nor Becky.

Or Keith.

[EKLInTraining]

This is the first time my name has been mentioned on one of these threads! I feel like I should win some kind of mumsnet trophy

I'm personally not a fan of all the "old lady chic" names that seem to be coming back into style these days.

[ThaliaLuxurySpa]

Let's needlessly upset people, eh?

Odd thread.

[MrsPringles]

Yeah these threads end badly. It’s just petty.

We all like different things and different names. The world would be boring if we were all the same 🤷🏽‍♀️

Georgina
Fergus
