What it says in the title really.

I went to school with a Julie who was pretty nasty and has put me off the name forever more.

Another vote for Hayley. Have known two and both complete airheads.

Privilegeismine · 07/12/2013 16:34

Millie. 2 of them have bullied my girls at some point throughout school.

FetaCheeny · 07/12/2013 16:27

Hayley!! And that's what my mum wanted to call me!

I do recall names I associate with gits,and I know it's puerile to hold gripe
But aye if I. Honest certain names tainted for me by association

MrsT2007 · 05/12/2013 20:05

Sadie was a nasty stirrer.
So was Jodie

As a teacher, your views of names are changed by the experiences you've had to a certain extent....hence why both my children have names which I've never taught a child with. So no reference points!

Sophie
Hannah
Kelly
Jeremy
Posh twats that shorten their name to one letter (i.e. Henrietta to 'Aitch', Charles to 'C', Tobias to 'T').
Anyone with a double barrelled surname has always seemed particularly up themselves (Sophie) but perhaps that is because I was the only state comp girl in a polo, Fox hunting and private school oriented village!

I'm on here... more than once... Xmas Sad

Shall try to balance up the weighting with my own offerings;

Kerry/Ceri (both spellings, in different ways)
Jamie
Debbie

JohnSnowsTie · 05/12/2013 16:46

Rhiannon.
Both of them.

Flibbedyjibbet · 05/12/2013 14:47

Elaine and it's my bloody middle name. Totally shallow reasons to do with appearance and personal hygiene and lack of personality of a girl at school.

teaselweasel · 05/12/2013 14:45

Maxine was a right little bitch and Ellen was full of herself.

womma · 05/12/2013 14:40

Agree with Karen. One of the most satisfying things I've ever done is tell a particularly horrid one to go fuck herself. Still makes me smile, and it was years ago!

MonsterMunchMe · 05/12/2013 00:15

Ohhhh and Harriet

I'll stop now Blush

MonsterMunchMe · 05/12/2013 00:13

Oh and Karen (shudder)

Abigail
Jason
Karl

I can't remember most of the nasty ones as choose to forget.

My name hasn't been mentioned but have been told by others they don't like stefanie (Stephanie)

Onesleeptillwembley · 04/12/2013 23:40

I've never encountered an Angela I would trust as far as I could spit.
Martin had a sinus problem - self explanatory.
Hayley - as above, devious, evil duplicitous bitch.

DownstairsMixUp · 04/12/2013 23:35

Annmarie (she bullied me) and Tracey (she makes stuff up about people who don't do things her way to make their lives shite) lucky they are both poo names really! (imo obviously)

womma · 04/12/2013 23:28

My names is on here a few times...I'm obviously the exception!

Never met a nice Amanda, the name itself makes me shudder. Same goes for Sandra as well. And Octavia, the most passive aggressive, cold spiteful cow bag I've ever had the misfortune to know.

autumnsmum · 02/12/2013 20:25

Karen and Richard school bully and cheating ex

WhispersOfWickedness · 30/11/2013 22:26

Emily for me. Such a shame as it should be the kind of name I like, but I have met 3 horrid ones! I'm sure there are some lovely ones somewhere, just wish they would introduce themselves to me Grin

yellowsnownoteatwillyou · 30/11/2013 22:22

Hayley all 3 of them complete bullying arseholes.
Never met a nice Katie, but Katy's have always been fine
Eddie utter prick
Blonde haired Melissa's are awful dark haired ones are fine
Dale know 3, 1 nice other 2 utter pricks

picnicbasketcase · 30/11/2013 22:21

Charlie for a girl. I actually like it for a boy but couldn't use it because of the Charlie girl name hate.

If you're reading this: you may have had all the men fooled into thinking you were lovely but you are the most selfish, manipulative, tightfisted, spoilt, thoughtless bitch I've ever met. Ah, cathartic.
