Names that make your toes curl!

I can't really think of any other names I don't like, but I hate my name (Amy)

I think I've got this all wrong. I'm slightly disappointed that so far my daughter's name has made no one's toes curl. It's ok, I've seen it described as boring before and maybe boring names aren't toe curlers..

Older names that make my toes curl 😄

Barry ( I once refused a date with someone called Barry...don't know why but makes my skin crawl!)
Roger
Gary
Mike
Darren
Julie
Pauline
Pam ( there was always a manager who disliked me called Pam)

I used to live down under where the popular older names that made my toes curl (that you don't see much in the UK )

Raewyn
Raeleen
Brent

I have a female horrible 1970s name which I have always hated. Can't believe it's not been mentioned yet!

Finally one of mine has come up! Kept peeping back here all night to check

Hate hate hate Zack or Zac
Hate Joshua or Josh
Hate Paul and Seth
And Lucas makes me always think of mucous

OP, I see this thread for what you intended & it is a fun thread for those who enjoy that type of thing. I will add my entire family has had their names listed. It makes me giggle because we all have different tastes in names & I'm certainly not offended by anyone's opinions.

Names that I really don't like are:
Margot
Pauline
Hilda
Nora
Nevaeh
Roger
Travis
Ethan
Quintin
Ryan - dislike as a male name yet like it as a female name

For those reading who don't like this kind of thread, why are you reading it?

You couldn't care less what people think of your children's names yet start this thread due to your interest in names.
Ok.

Ah go on yank...
I will if you like-I love the name Barnaby.Whenever I've said that to anyone in rl they have looked horrified.
And I like Cicely and or Sissy as a girls name-I looked after a lovely old lady by that name-again, no one else likes it.

I notice Op has avoided posting her own children's names, what a nasty thread

I really want to list the names that make me swoon with love, but I can't because they're really unusual; no one else likes them, and they'd completely out me

Ha! Both my DD's names are on the hate list it seems.... In fairness we called dd2 her name as it was the month she was due to be born in-it was a nickname for the bump that just stuck-didn't realise the world and his wife would use it as hyphen add on to lots of other names...I care not really-Except it is quite funny that dd1's name seems to be the name usually used before it. Lots of people
must cringe at me and I never even gave it a thought until now (and probably never will again to be fair )
And my own name is on here too-although I agree with that as I hate it as well.
I don't like Tony (or Anthony), or Michael as names for no real reason...

These threads always end up the same. The original OP can be apparently innocuous, but the same themes always occur:

'K' names
Hyphenated names
Names that a stripper would have
Names that a judge wouldn't have

Always.

I name associate too! It's so hard to like a name when you know someone you don't like with it

I don't like:

Claire
Stacy
Henry
Rupert
Emily

Seems I was right.

All my Dds are on here! I don't mind, I find it interesting actually. My daughters make their names not the other way around.

It's funny how opinions of names can change over time though. Names I used to view as really ugly and old-fashioned, I now find myself quite liking. Not saying I'd use them but the likes of Edith, Meredith and Dorothy I can kind of see the beauty in them.

Kobi
Kody / Cody
Jody / Jodi
Kai
Kaden

I'm not on here, nor DP but one of my DD is.

I can't get my head around cute names for baby girls that sound a bit stupid when they are older. Poppy being one of them. Nice for a little girl. Not so and a bit silly for a high powered exec or Judge IMO.

Can we have a names that make you smile thread?

Oops! There's one. 1 dd and 2 dogs to go....

Sophronia not much you do like

Notso - stay strong, hope you have a better day tomorrow 💐

Still no sign of my dd's names - or the dogs'. Hubby is there, along with me and ds. Hope I don't have too long to wait for them to appear :) There is nothing wrong with the thread OP. Surely nobody would be naïve enough to think that everyone would love their name choices. If I was going to be offended that my children's names would be on the 'unliked' list I wouldn't have clicked. Simple! Some people just like to be offended...
