Unattracrive Baby Names

Tallulah and Willow are perhaps more American names? I think they are lovely.

I have a first name that was super popular in my region in my home country between 1880 and 1905. Nowadays, not so much. So now I have quite an unusual name, but if I were born in 1890, it would have been a common one.

I don't love any of those names, but quite like Teddy (as a nn for Edward or Edmund). But I don't hate them either.

I do love 'boring' classic names, though, like Jane, Anna, James, Alexander etc

Does anyone else dislike these baby names? Hannah, Jane, Caroline and Kate. Let's have names which are interesting and not done to death like Artemis Lysander, Marina, Hector, and Vita.

Or we could just acknowledge that different people have different tastes and will name their babies accordingly. I wouldn't use a single name in your OP, but they're all fine. The variety of names being given to babies is wider than ever and that's a great thing. Especially as names are there to identify a person. And if (for whatever reason) the baby grows up and doesn't like their name, they can change it. It's free and simple to do.

I know a 3yo Jane! I like it. I think partly named for Captain Janeway in Star Trek, who was a great, strong, fully realised female character.

Names are cyclical. Fine not to like a current trend, another one will be along soon enough.

Does anyone else dislike these baby names? Albie, Willow, Chase, Cody, Cory, Talullah, Olive, Ivy, Elsie, Belle, Autumn, Summer, Teddy, Ronnie and Reggie? Bring back proper, solid names. Such as Hannah, Jane, Caroline and Kate!!!

I like Willow, Olive, Ivy and Teddy

I can't imagine a baby or child in 2023 called Jane

Some of them aren’t to my taste, but I also find Caroline and Jane dreary. That’s the thing with names…they’re down to personal taste.

Teddy isn’t to my taste, but Ted is a perfectly reasonable name for an adult, I’d have thought.

I like most of them apart from Cory, Cody and Chase. Love the name Talulah 😁.

Classic names are fine too but each to their own. I have one DC with a classic name and one with a not so popular name.

Surely some of the names you mention are as solid and traditional - Olive, Elsie and Ivy were the names of grandmothers when I was a girl.

Not really. Variety is the spice of life.

They are just fashionable names at the moment. Willow and Olive are the new Jennifer and Louise.

And Jennifer and Louise will be the new Jean and Margaret when they reach OAP age.

Lots of parents forget that the baby they are naming will be an adult in 18 years. Hate Teddy
