Are there any names you don't like purely because of who you knew with those names?

I hate the name Judith. Although when I actually think about it I think it is a perfectly pleasant and nice name. But I have only known two people called Judith and they were both horrible women.
Are there any names that you don't like ONLY because you knew someone with that name 2ho you did not like?

Oh, and awhile I think of it I’ve never met a Joanne who wasn’t hard work - and that’s a really common name for women of my age so I’ve met many. But Joannas are a completely different ball game and always lovely in my experience. How is that?

I used to know a nice Judith but also knew a horrible one. Sadly the horrible one was more horrible than the nice one was nice.
Amanda is nice, Christine is two faced.

as a PP said, Emily - a manipulative, bullying bitch at school - yes!

My name has only been mentioned on here as lovely, however I'm a total bitch so watch out! Grin

Darren. He's in prison serving 16yrs for attempting to murder my brother (his own step brother). I went to school with one who was a twat.

My mums mechanic is called Darren and it makes me feel a bit sick everytime she says how good he is.

For some reason Janets are always really keen, like head girls.

It's Lisa for me.

First Lisa I knew always had nits and smelt bad. The looking back she was probably massively neglected by her parents but you don't think about that at 9.

Second Lisa I knew never showered or brushed her teeth and I had to work really closely with her!
