Just saw this mentioned on thread - names you irrationally dislike.

Is this something lots of you have experienced?

How about the names below:

Joshua
Jaden
Jacob
Jackson
John
Jason
Julian

If so when did this start to happen? I'm sure John isnt associated with bad boys.

Have never heard of this until now Xmas Hmm

Julian as a naughty boy name made me chuckle a bit. A posh naughty boy perhaps.

As for the others, I didn't go to school with any of that name and haven't come across any as an adult yet so can't comment.

Jasper is on my boys list. Smile

I have a son with a J name. Last week we got an email from school praising his behaviour and attitude!

It isn't that the names make a child more naughty - just that they did a survey of teachers and certain names had certain connotations attached.

Oh yes

Name your child James and you might as well give up parenting him altogether

I mean he's bound to be in a young offenders unit before he's learnt to wipe his own arse Xmas Sad

John and james are well behaved. Jayden isn't.

I find 'c' names more of a problem:
Connor
Callum

Never taught a well behaved one. Also children whose names are spelt oddly:
Emah (Emma)
For example. Shudder.

The only Jason I've ever met is my uncle and he most certainly was a naughty boy in his school days. Grin. Lovely as an adult man though.

what a load of bollocks!
