What names would you never use because you associate them with unpleasant girls from school?

For me: Sian, Veronica, Claire and Bronagh.

Those were the names of the main class bullies (not really my personal bully, except for Camilla...) as far as I remember.

There were obviously more people I didn't like but the association isn't that bad...

Oh, and Lukas. I'd never use that name...

MariaMadita · 12/07/2018 16:38

Jill, Olivia, Camilla.

There are a few boys as well, btw... Sylvian, Philip, Nicholas, Christoph.

Negative associations with the name Sofia. One at sixth form, I ended up in an actual fight with. Another from high school, had been a really close friend all the way to university...then tried to manipulate the friendship group and later admitted she had planned splitting friendship for a while.

DD 2 is named Sofía and I now love the name. Only have positive association. Never think of the girls from school.

tierraJ · 12/07/2018 08:23

Oh yes - Yvonne ( work gossip)

tierraJ · 12/07/2018 08:22

From school & work I dislike the names:

Emma (school bully)
Sarah (weird kids)
Julie (work bully)
Jennifer (school bully)
Deborah (bitchy)
Laura (uni bitch)
Rebecca (gobby)

Although one of my best friends is called Laura so I like the name again.

Lostalldirection · 12/07/2018 08:16

Rebecca, Alex, Michelle - school bullies.

Joeybee · 12/07/2018 08:03

Omg so many to chose from!
Amanda, Nichole, Ellen, Helena, Ferne, Sasha, Rachel.

Mousefunky · 12/07/2018 07:28

Never met a nice Hannah, same for Jennifer (Jenny). There was a female Jordan at school and she was fucking awful. Georgia and Georgina’s were always bitches too.

Whoa, my name has been mentioned a lot and I'm lovely Grin

But for me it has to be Emma, Nicki, Zoe. Horrible people to me!

Deborah/Debra

motortroll · 12/07/2018 06:51

Lots of names on here reminding me of people that I'd forgotten about!!!

The Claire thing is interesting. I've recently realised a Claire I've known from primary school is not the friend I thought she was! (32 years on lol)

Also reminded me of someone horrible who was part of our "group" at school. That would be my husbands ex wife and I can't say her name as it's stupid and made up and everyone will know who I am 😂 I wouldn't have used it ever anyway because it's a stupid name. I think it's clear how I feel about her lol

IvyFluids · 12/07/2018 01:58

Yvonne, Nadine, Amelia, Amanda and Toni.
Bitches, the lot of them.
