NotSo I started this and I am sorry. One of my children, my name, DH's, both alive sisters and my late sibling have appeared.
I meant more names that make you feel funny but you have no explanation for. Maybe avoid threads like this if you're worried about being affected by it. I truly meant no malice.

Phoebe and Chloe. No idea why. Not sure why so many others have said he same thing. I wonder if it's a kind of synrsthesia as I get a weird 'feeling' when I think about the shape and the sound of the names.

OddShoe · 26/02/2017 21:47

I've only got one - Fleur. I just find it so hard to say!

I'm suprised Seth is being mentioned so much! It was on my list if dc3 was a boy. Lucky she's a girl!

tigerdriverII · 26/02/2017 21:45

Nasty thread and yes OP you knew just what you were doing when you started it.

But : Archive!!!! I bloody love autocorrect sometimes.

bumblingmum · 26/02/2017 21:45

Dh not she

bumblingmum · 26/02/2017 21:44

Mercedes is a completely normal name in Spain. 'Merche'
Nothing at all to do with a car Hmm

Sugarlumps333 · 26/02/2017 21:41

Ted, Teddy 😭😭😭

PennyPickle · 26/02/2017 21:40

Jamie or Jamie-Leigh and Kacey or Kacey-Leigh are the only two names I really dislike. I have no idea why - they just make me wince whenever I hear them.

I quite like the surname names for boys. My DS is a "surname" and has been mentioned. Neither of my dd's have yet - there's still time Grin

Notso · 26/02/2017 21:40

Just waiting for DH's name now.

Musicinthe00ssucks · 26/02/2017 21:39

Fresh my DD is a Niamh. It's beautiful IMO Grin Someone has mentioned Neve though!

lananzack · 26/02/2017 21:39

I also dislike the Mae/Mai hyphenation - probably just because it's so common.
Nevaeh, Destiny, Mckenzie, Leighton, Jaiden, Kaine...

PositivePeggyNans · 26/02/2017 21:38

Riley

Always makes me think of Mavis Riley from Corrie

PunkrockerGirl · 26/02/2017 21:37

Any girl's name ending in 'Mae'
Jaden, Kaden, Kyle, Kylie, Kai. All grim.
Anything hyphenated with 'leigh'
Harley. I've come across two and they were both little shits.

joannegrady90 · 26/02/2017 21:37

Nevaeh
"It means heaven backwards"
So basically hell then Hmm

Masie
Mollie
Ellie May type names
Jayden, Hayden, Caiden..
Grace
Ebony

wobblywonderwoman · 26/02/2017 21:37

Different horses for different courses.. I teach children with popstar celeb names that are not great.

Also not a fan of the lily-mae names at all!!

But then my brother says my dcs names are boring (classic) so each to their own.

AYankinSpanx · 26/02/2017 21:34

One of my DD's name has had one mention, the others are alright so far! Mine's really unusual in this country so unlikely to crop up. If anyone mentions it though I'll claim it Grin
