Never met a nice Lucy.
Agree about Caroline...vain and vile woman who put me off a nice name for life.
Andrea. Shudder.
Andrew. Exh so enough said.
My name is on this naughty list. I'm ok honestly!

Kyle, I was in a supermarket one time and the mum just kept shouting "Kyyuuulll" about a billion times, put me right off it

Megan was the name of one of the nicest people I've ever met, and the name of one of the most despicable as well, so mixed feelings on it altogether.

Same as Debbie- met one lovely one, and one really awful one! And Jackie- I've literally known at least 6 Jackies, really really well (including a relative)- totally mixed bag!

@Tara336

Lara total snotty cow from school, shame as I like the name but she put me off using it for my Dd
Maybe we knew the same Lara

Ben - sorry not met a nice one yet. I'm sure there's one out there somewhere

Lewis - work in education and there seems to be a theme among the troublemakers ...

monkeyonthetable · 25/09/2020 22:28

@SquarePotato - snap! The self-obsession. Weird.

monkeyonthetable · 25/09/2020 22:27

Caroline. The ones I know have all - with one exception - been self obsessed, domineering bullies.

Garcellesaidwhaaat · 25/09/2020 22:25

None wth😂

There are a few people who have treated my awfully but I don't hate their name for it! (Has put me off ever using them for DC though)

Megan2018 · 25/09/2020 22:24

Sarah, Louise and Elizabeth - witches.
Dee, Mina - evil
Philip and Robert - massive cunts

SquarePotato · 25/09/2020 22:22

Caroline - every one I ever met was self obsessed and nasty.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 25/09/2020 22:18

Boyd. I was bullied by one at school, he was an evil little bastard. Its an unusual name but all I see when I hear it is his smug pasty little face.

ShrimpSymphony · 25/09/2020 21:52

Louisa

Frazzled13 · 25/09/2020 21:49

Craig.
Went to school with a horrible boy called Craig. Awful bully who broke another boy’s arm in year 6 and was permanently excluded about a month into year 7.
I’ve met a couple of lovely Craigs since then but can’t shake the association.

TimeStoleMyYouth · 25/09/2020 21:47

I’ve never met a nice Claire.

theyips · 25/09/2020 21:47

Emma’s are always two faced and nasty in my experience. I’ve known at least 5 horrible Emma’s.

TimeStoleMyYouth · 25/09/2020 21:45

Lindsay - pretentious, two-faced and tight
