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?

Is Maud back?

Show quote history

Yes I think it is, have seen a few baby Maud’s around recently….each to their own but it definitely wouldn’t be my name of choice!

No-one is called Corvette are they?? I think Porsche might be Portia which is a legitimate name with weight and history.
I also don't think Rebecca is the earliest spelling of that name, I think it was Rebekah.

Show quote history

Rebekka is the German, Dutch, Danish and Finnish spelling (although both German Rebeccas I've known used the CC version). Rebekah is the spelling used in the Bible, I think.

I don't like names such as Corvette, Porsche or Chelsea ( babies named after cars, football teams etc). Also names not conventional spelling ie Rebekka rather than Rebecca ( it's not the names in these instances, just the spelling)!

Saying I have a disability is passive aggressive? no its straight up fact.

Having that be hidden is NOT acceptable, its no one elses right to delete my disability from public knowledge.

The post was nothing to do with any of the previous posts about name or the thread it explained a symptom of a LD.

Show quote history

Ok, take it up with Mumsnet then instead of now turning on me - maybe it was deleted as it had no relevance to the thread whatsoever and was just you trying to make a point to another poster you were arguing with about who was trolling who.
For goodness sake, the pair of you grow up

Yes i read it, don't know why MN deleted it but you were being just as passive aggressive as the other poster was.

Ruth and Yvonne. Completely irrational because the ones I’ve met over the years have been great girls/women. And I love the actors Ruth Wilson, Ruth Jones and Yvonne Strahovski.

Ottilie sounds silly
Lexi sounds like flexi
Austin reminds me of a rusty crap car
Amelie is just wet sounding
Also don’t like anything pretentious like Ptolemy, just no
Hate K names like Kai, Klay, Kayden etc

Candida.
I don't think I'll ever understand why anyone would want to name their child after a yeast infection.

Pulp's keyboardist is called Candida and as it was the first time I'd heard of the name, I've associated it ever since with being the epitome of coolness 😀Her brother is called Magnus

Sebastian has been mentioned a few times. It's a musical thing again - I heard Sebastian by Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel and have loved it ever since. Maybe there needs to be songs of excellence about Callums and Georges...

I don't like the names Deidre or Margaret or Maud or Wilfred though

@mumsnet is there a reason you deleted a post that explained how my disability caused years of struggle with communication when another repetitively mocked the mild grammar symptoms of a LD.

Seem like the oddest comment to delete and is silencing the disabled and their struggles. Is that in the mumsnet stance and in the rules that we aren't allowed to explain learning difficulties anymore when we are repetitively mocked for them?

My name is on here and my kids! Not offended whatsoever. Love these threads.

OnAndOnAndonAgain · 01/09/2024 11:41

Well 3 of my dcs names and 3 of my gc names are here and mine starts with a K so I guess I can include that as well!

I'm not a fan of all the old lady names that have made a comeback over the last 13 or so years.

I posted several posts answering the question and discussing it as an active part of the thread.

You are not answering the question, you posted a random unrelated inflammatory statement then started arguing with the person who answer why it is not the done thing.

Don't pretend you didn't mean it passive aggressively while talking about wanting to know what others called their 'own little darlings'.

Here you are yet again assuming you know what I think and intend. There are lots of comments actually criticising this thread - which I did not - so go and troll them.

At least you’ve now started using apostrophes so my contribution has had some positive impact.

StarvingMarvin222 · 01/09/2024 10:47

A few of my kids names have been mentioned but who cares.
I hate Poppy and Daisy and Rosie.
Especially the way Sally from Corrie and Lorraine pronounces it.

Yes I find Emma the ultimate epitome of 'dull'.

Like theres nothing 'wrong' with it but I just can't imagine that in 9 months thats the greatest name a mind can possibly come up with... its just so plain and uninspired.

Show quote history

When Rachel from Friends used Emma.
I know st thought what a boring name.
Like you're in fashion living in New York and that's the best you could come up with.
And she didn't even come up with it,she robbed poor Monica's baby name.
