I don't like the name Dustin, I just think of dustbin. What name do you really dislike?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Quinton, Quintin, maeve, any typical boy name used on a girl eg billy or Charlie.

Arlo just makes me think of the cute dinosaur from the film so no idea why that's so popular

Wow some lovely names here which noone has ever said IRL they hate - mine and my children's.
However I really dislike the name Dylan. Ugh.

Dylan is a lovely name! No one irl has ever said they hate that to me about my lovely relative.
Your comment tickled me.

PuppiesLove · 22/09/2024 00:34

There aren't too many names that bother me, even if I don't care for them. I have always really hated Phoebe though. Only ever met one, and I'm not even sure I spoke to them during that event, but the name just sounds weird to me.

Anisty · 22/09/2024 00:28

Donna. Reminds me of kebabs.

Timothy. Sounds so wet like a pathetic little man.

Different names though have such different connotations for different people.

On here i noticed a few folk don't like Ruth - i really love that name (though it's not my name, nor my DDs)

And Sebastian. A good, strong name to my mind.

Alfie sounds quite dated and not in a good way.

Twentypastfour · 18/09/2024 14:03

It’s Alfie for me. I didn’t particularly like it to begin with but then it became so overused and now I just can’t stand it. There have been a few baby announcements where you just know it’s going to be another Alfie .. and yep it is.

I like Natalie, but where i live, it would be mangled beyond all recognition.

Probably something like: Nah-a-lee.

Show quote history

This is a good point. I definitely knew a few ‘Nah-a-lee’s growing up.
I wouldn’t choose something like Thea/ Theo because they would become ‘Fea/ Feo around here

deeahgwitch · 18/09/2024 13:04

I really like Esme

I think names vary on accents and in the south just no….

Roman is quite well used in Europe and I think it's a good name.

Faldodiddledee · 18/09/2024 11:28

My name has appeared on here quite a few times and I'm quite surprised as it's always on the favourite names list as well. Perhaps people are bored of it. Just shows you can't choose a 'perfect' name.

@ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews my son would have been Emma too if he'd been a girl. I absolutely love it!

It's just a timeless, lovely name.

LottieB1994 · 18/09/2024 09:52

These really popular Jaxton / Jaxtyn / Jaxxon type ones and surname names like Parker, Hunter etc.

Also Boys names that are really babyish on a man, ie Albie, Herbie, Attie but not short for anything.

Influencer names like Atlas, River

Wimwims · 16/09/2024 00:19

I do not dislike the sound of Olivia exactly but three couples I've known recently have used it (and I really don't know many people at all). I don't generally hate the popular names but I am getting to the point where a baby name announcement comes up and I'm fully expecting Olivia. I just feel like... you get all excited and spend 9 months deciding and you come up with the one that everyone uses. It's like calling a dog Fluffy.

Names that were common growing up but I just don't like include Heather, Gemma and Kelly. I don't know why they just don't sound very nice to me.

The worst are names which people use because they've cycled into fashion but a few years prior they'd have found them ridiculous. I really hate how trends take a name from being really "out there" to being three in a class, seemingly overnight. So many people I went to school with who would have absolutely taken the piss out of the old lady names but have used them because suddenly it became cool.

DS has an old biblical name but not a particularly common one and I met a fellow new parent who gave me the most bemused look, as if it was a really odd choice. Then he tells me his child's name is Reuben which is a very similar vibe except that Reuben cycled into fashion.

I think it’s a pretty nice name, completely usual in Central European countries, I think?

Absolutely normal in Russia

Love the name Roman even though MN hates it. I don’t understand how it’s cringe or tacky.
I find on MN a lot of people like names they think are sophisticated and that they’ll fit in with the right set of they claim to like it. All very odd.
i also find on MN that any ugly old fashioned name is seen as the epitome of class.

Justin - my dad used to joke it was for kids who's parent's were 'just in'!

Terrible dad jokes 🙈

Barry.
Warren.
Darryl.
I can’t imagine looking at a sweet little newborn and thinking “Oh, he looks like a Darryl.”
Also David. Every David I have ever known has been a prick.
