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

Miriam is really not to my liking, will not abuse the name.

Anna good as is emma

Anna can be spoiled, by adding Claire as a middle name, making it An Eclair!

Trillian some truth in what you say. we dont spend much time agreeing on mumsnet. But I did get everyone to agree about Polar Bears on TVthey loved it. NAMES? I like Alex, tristran, John , Jean, and Brenda Half of my siblings did not like their christian names. Ilike mine

Anna is good.

Emma is 1970s-tastic. There were five in my year at school. No way!

James is dull.

I wonder how representative mumsnet is of the whole UK/Worldwide population?

Marianne. Juliet, Elizabeth, Emma

Patrick,Matthew,

Jasper seems to be strangely popular on here (not my cup of tea, but ...)

carrie or justine Wink

sophiesmum I'm not a fan either, which is why it stuck in my head.

darleneconnor · 03/01/2011 00:31

Oh no, not Patrick? Surely other people dislike this name intensly?

I agree, I think that Anna, Marianne and Juliet tend to go down pretty well. Also Alice although that tends to get a 'bit popular' response too.

I also seem to remember Clara doing rather well on here, and once upon a time, Dulcie (I've been hanging around this site for far too long!!)

Wouldn't it be boring if we all choose mumsnet-approved names.....

Although while I like Anna (and have one myself), I really dislike Marianne and Dulcie Smile.

Dulcie - is it pronounced Dull-see or Dull-chee? In either case it starts with Dull, which is awful imo.

I hope that we can't find a name everyone loves - how boring would life be....
