My daughters name is on here. I'm not offended. I'm a big girl. I can take it, in fact.
I actually don't like her name anymore, either.
The world would be boring if we all had the same opinions

What does it matter?
Everyone has likes/dislikes.

Threads like these end up causing offence.

I'm sure I'll think of more. I'm quite fussy with names.

Jasper. It's a dog name.
Jeremy.
Molly, Polly, Poppy, Milly, Daisy or any other cutesy name that to me sounds very Victorian.

Waddlingwanda · 03/11/2017 20:50

Don’t really hate anything but I’d advise against anything like Fanny, Gaynor or Willy on current times meanings. Seems a bit harsh to use these now

KERALA1 · 03/11/2017 20:47

Anything in top 10 on grounds of dullness

DramaAlpaca · 03/11/2017 20:46
