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

For me: Sian, Veronica, Claire and Bronagh.

Literally want to change my name due to threads like these. Well this and the constant negative stereotyping of it in the media. Writers should be careful!

Vicky and Ruth

Hannah - not met one that didn’t treat me like dirt in their shoe. Although my name has been mentioned more than once and I’m a delight to everyone Wink

Oh yes and Kim-complete sociopath.

The Rebecca's I knew were lovely, the three in my year all in the tops sets, 2 of them prefects too so I always think every Rebecca I meet is super intelligent and sweet (my name's not Rebecca btw).
The only 2 Jenny's I've known have been 2 faced and I think when I meet a Jenny now I'm very suspicious of them.
it's all unfair really.Blush

Tanya. Although I had a friend called Tania who was really nice.
Miriam. She was a spoilt brat as well as being a bully.

CointreauVersial · 11/07/2018 17:16

Annoyingly, the queen bitch at my school had the same name as me!

DonkeyPunch88 · 11/07/2018 17:15

Every Vicky I've ever met has been a complete bitch.

Every Jenny has been an interfering cow. (3 now Grin)
