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.

Every Andrea I've ever known personally has been awful.

curlew · 30/11/2013 07:05

Has anyone said Margaret, David, Nick and Boris?

It's a shame, actually, because I think Margaret and Nicholas are lovely, underused names......

Sharron , the double R is important.
The laziest, dirtiest, lying two faced....I'm so sorry for the patients in the nursing home.

Like every other teacher, I have a list of no-go names! it is a nightmare when trying to pick names for own children.....
For me...
Never ever taught an intelligent Chloe (Khloe or once in fact Kloe!!) - all been beautiful airheads
Connor and Charlie always badly behaved
All Ryans are arrogant and big headed
Benjamin brings back hideous nightmare of two children who threw chairs around the classroom shouting and swearing until they were expelled
Charlotte always lovely bright intelligent sweeties!!

Have taught a Tarzan (small little child!), River (surname Madien,) built like a prop forward and twins named Ronnie and Reggie (surname ....you've guessed it!!!) why do people do it???

MeMySonAndI · 30/11/2013 00:27

Every Emma I have met has been invariable a problem: first one was a shouty fly of the handle manager, second one was a racist ignorant bigot, third one is nicer but likes to keep her distance.

I realise however, it is not the name, I just seem to meet the wrong Emmas.

Mignonette · 30/11/2013 00:18

Tim- biggest GIT I ever met was called that-a vile abusive sexually incontinent RMN. Biggest Git most other people met too. Have met several obnoxious Tims sadly.

Tracey -Met one called that who is an absolute deceitful, lying, snide bitch. Has thoroughly warped my perception of this name.

Nicole!

ChubbyKitty · 29/11/2013 23:24

Charmaine.
Adele.
Michaela.
Tasmin.

I'm sure others with these names are lovely people really. But not the four I'm thinking of.
