what girls names do you NOT like?

I cant stand the names
Chelsea
Jodie
Kelly
Chantelle
Chanel
Kayleigh
Charlene
Lesley
Kim
Kirsty
Gemma
Cin dy
Lisa
Samantha
Donna
Dawn
and most of the seventies names that I grew up with, and I cant stand the name Gertrude/Gertie!!!
I have noticed that my name is not yet on the list.

its interesting to know tho, I thought it was quite modern to use Ruby these days, perhaps not. What are peoples views on Holly, that was also on my list...

I just think it isn't a very attractive name. It's very old fashioned and I associate it with a certain type of person,not a flattering image I might add.

Why do people not like Ruby I love it and had it on the list for next time!

Anything really popular and/or faddish. This encompasses Ruby, Lily, Grace, Isabel/lla/, Amelie etc. Anything top 10 really much prefer it when people strike out and show abit of imagination (though within reason obviously ). Love underused classics, have not used it myself but love the name Mary.

As others have said anything over cutesy girly - fine on a toddler but embarrassing for an adult woman. This includes Daisy/Poppy/Trixie etc. Cringe at Jules Oliver's name choices those poor girls. There is a serious news presenter on the BBC atm called Daisy and everytime her name flashes up I think how inappropriate it is.

Sophie - too popular now, know too many of them born within past three years.

Betty.

Don't like:

Denise
Amanda
Kelly
Katie
Fiona
Victoria
Sharon
Tracy
Sarah
Dolly
Chloe
Rhiannon or Shannon
Lisa
Cathy
Lindsay
Elise
Claire
Rachel
Missy
Darcey
Ruby
Lexie
Lacey
Stacey

I can't stand the name Lauren for some reason, although I think Laura and Lorna are lovely.

Also hate Rebecca being shortened to Becca. That really grates.

I have no idea why but the only name that I really don't like is melissa..
my name has been mentioned lots on here - I like the fact it is out of fashion and may be it will skip a generation like Betty etc.

When I named my dd, Everyone apart from my dh and mum hated the name, so I have developed a bit of a thick skin now.My nan was very clear in her opinion. Mostly people say 'Hmm, that's different/unusual' when what they mean is that it's a horrible name in their opinion. I love my dds name so chose it anyway. Anyway,I'm rambling. My point is that we all have different taste and that's a great thing. (DD is called Evangeline btw)

Not mad on the current fashion for 'old lady' names. I really don't like Edith, Ethel, Mildred, Iris, and Ivy.

Astounded that my name hasn't been mentioned (apart from being a hyphenated examle) Was ubiquitous in the 70's & rarely used now.

Neither of dd's names mentions but that's only because you haven't thought of them, I suspect they are disliked by 80% of people; although wait dd2's probably qualifies as an "old lady name" (wtf!?)

I think the name of every girl in my daughter's class at school, except hers has come up here. Still its more than made up for by the fact that I think the mentions of my name are well into double figures.

I don't like Josie either. It should be a lovely name but since that movie Never Been Kissed it has always be Josie Grossie to me.

Tegan! Hate it. Charlie, Alex etc used as a girl's full name, thereby opening the poor up to a lifetime of potential gender confusion.

Anything double-barrelled (eg Mackenzie-Rae, Brook-Mai; why oh why do people only double barrel with short and poorly spelled names?), Hayleigh, Kayleigh, Kelly, etc, Chelsea, Charlize, any bastardisation of a perfectly good name, surnames used as first names (eg Taylor, Brook, Mackenzie), Abby/ey,

I could on but I won't

This is an interesting thread. My name has been mentioned, one of my dd's names has been mentioned quite a few times and my granny's name has even been mentioned!

I'm finding it quite interesting to be honest.

Newish names include

Charley-Marie
Poppy
Lillie/Lily
Paige
Lola/Lila
Daisy
Tilly
Ellie
Courtney

Old er names include

Brenda
Joyce
Florence
Matilda
Patricia
Evelyn
Janice
Glenda
Lynne
Carol

Matilda. It feels entirely wrong when I say it, It's an ugly word.

And I can spell really- YOU'RE - see??

My name is on here 3 times, and DD's once

I hate;
Leslie
Jenny
Tonya (why o why?)
Tanya
Ruby
Lottie
Lauren
Ella/Ellie
Laura
Kelly (Kel is even worse)
Jo/Joanne
Maude
Melody
Melanie
Nicky
Mary
Diane (but like Diana)
Rita
Ruth
Elaine
Vicky
Emma
Karen
Sue
Melinda
Hannah
Sadie
And loads of others. Also hate most of the old lady names and made up names. And American ghetto made up nonsense names.
I seem to dislike a lot of names ending in y or ie for some reason!
No-one likes my DD's name, I can tell by the look on their faces when I introduce her!!
I hate my own name so your all allowed to dislike it too

I dont like Matilda either cannot understand why anyone would want to name a baby girl this other than some may like the shortened version as Tilly but I dont like that either. Another I dont like for the same reason is Martha.The name Hannah always reminds me of that really ugly doll on that BBC childrens programme (cant remember the name of it only it had windows where you had to guess which window it is today! )
