Hannah made my life hello at school, I was so unhappy and just hearing it reminds me of those feelings. I can deal with it though, fortunately, as there are a fair few about. Also Grant, who was a truly horrible boss of mine at one time.

Funny that others are saying Laura - I’ve never met a nice one either, or a nice Amy!

NotMyCircusNotMyProblem · 25/09/2020 19:44

Mary. It was my evil step mother's name and she made my life hell.

Claire. I've known three - all pieces of work and not to be trusted.

Verity
Julian
Grace
Teresa

All dickheads in their own way, Verity a thief as well. I am sure there are plenty of lovely people with these names though, I just have a negative association with them.

TeaMeBasil · 25/09/2020 19:36

Hester. Awful

StayClosePooky · 25/09/2020 19:34

Nick.

Everyone knows at least one dickhead called nick.

Lozz22 · 25/09/2020 19:26

PeskyRooks · 25/09/2020 19:23

Every Kim I've ever met has been a bitch.
Also Stephanies aren't nice either!
Also whenever I meet an absolute idiot they are always called Pete!

Laura
Clare
Jelly

Time40 · 25/09/2020 19:15

Vanessa. The most dishonest, malicious, utterly vile person I have ever encountered, by a very long way.

BikeRunSki · 25/09/2020 19:13

Samantha - school bully, unfortunately her mother was mine’s best friend.

Charlotte - complete beatch, even aged 8

Rachel
Jennifer
Adam

catfeets · 25/09/2020 19:07

Never met a nice Jody. They've all been stuck up nasty cows.
In my experience Lyndseys and Kirstys are horrible and two faced.

Grumpy19 · 25/09/2020 19:06

Hannah

timetest · 25/09/2020 18:54

Rodger - abusive, violent bully.

Talcott2007 · 25/09/2020 18:51

Melanie.

Have known 3 in my life who've all had deeply unpleasant personalities but for different reasons - One was a classic school bully, one was constantly cheating on her boyfriends during uni and genuinely went out of her way to break up other peoples relationships as if getting a guy to cheat with her was like the biggest achievement and the last one was actually the one I knew longest who seemed normal but has in recent years has turned out to be probably the worst - frankly a dangerous pathological liar

dooratheexplorer · 25/09/2020 18:49
