What name(s) do you irrationally hate?

[Baggingarea]

I'll start.

Denise.

I don't know any Denises... I'm sure they're lovely. But the name just rubs me up the wrong way.

NOTE: No Karen bashing please! Because it's been hijacked as a name and it's not fair on Karens.

Macey, Kacey, Lacey, Ella-Mae, Chardonnay, Kai, Ryan, Reese, Connor and Harley...all out having a high life drinking cider in a park.

Dwayne
Darren
Jason
Ricky
Wayne

Tracey (even though I know 3 lovely ones)
Michelle
Charlene
Dawn

And....I have to say it, my hatred has increased lately....Karen

Just to say,. before I get virtual brickbats chucked my way , I have never known a nasty Karen. They have all been lovely. I just never liked the name...I think because it reminds me of my horrid early childhood inn the 80s, it was a popular name then. And now seeing all these sexist and nasty Karen videos and memes everywhere hasn't decreased my hatred one iota.

Ok, am officially a Mumsnet pariah now...

I'm most disappointed my name isn't on anybody's list. It definitely should be, it's hideous but my DM still loves it even though she knows how much I hate it.

Dave
John
Roger
Jenny
Molly
Mike

Sophie. Sounds like soapy. Also Molly and Milly... just so overused and blah.

Francesca

Another vote for Stephanie (known a few women I didn't like who had that name)

Sophie (sweet name but just gets on my tits)

Colin (dickheads in my experience 🤣🙈)

@FortunesFave

Sophie. Sounds like soapy. Also Molly and Milly... just so overused and blah.

How do You feel about Mandy?

I don't like Keith either. Knew two that were moody, angry types who yelled at their wives and bosses them about.

Hate Gerald as well. Yuk!!

Wilfred
Gary
Kevin

Nigel
Wayne
Darren
Colin
Tracey
Eileen
Shirley

All names that sound like someone throwing up....
Hugh
Fleur
Claire
Gretchen
Greta
Blair

I think the worst name award goes to mom CoSandra for naming her daughter:

The poor girl is 30 years old now and has changed her name to Jamie.

Riley. Have never met a well-behaved one.

Alan all the Alan's I've ever known jumped up little prigs

Anne/Anna sociopathic tendencies every single one but the Annie I know wonderful woman

Carol it never ends well

@FortunesFave - I have a Sophie and she did indeed used to introduce herself as Soapy when she was a toddler and couldn't pronounce her "ph"

Wayne
Duane
Jordan
Barry

messy123 My cousin Colin is obvs the exception. He is lovely!

Makes me think of men from the mid-80s with a flat cap and allotment

I would not mind a man with an allotment though of course he would have to remove the flat cap!!!

Marnie - sounds like mardy or mouldy

Never come across it until recently. I wondered if it was a typo at first but no

Tyler. Every one I've known has been a cunt.

[quote Yesterdayforgotten]@daisychain1620 what's your first name? It would be interesting to find out which comments people would make on yours. Also my sister is called louise and the loveliest person anyone could meet. So sad you read thar much into names. Also I think most names rhyme with something, even yours [/quote]
My name has already been mentioned, made me giggle. Thought these comments were the point of this light hearted thread. Sorry didn't realise my opinion was so hurtful compared to all the other posts. I personally have never met a nice Louise but I know there are lovely Louise's out there.

I personally hate my own name. Not offended by anyone who doesn't share my taste -- it's really the classics which tend to be the safest, but you can't please everyone.

@Carpathian2 my worst bully was named Tyler!! Brian was pretty bad as well.

The Shelby and Brittanys I've known haven't been too peachy either

Trots off to think about how my list is starting to sound like a sad version of Mambo #5

Freya - weak and insipid
I think it's a really strong, 'clean' name. I love it!

I've always liked Marnie.

And no, they aren't called Scunthorpe and Teeside. That's a shame

I’m another one for whom Marnie sets my teeth on edge every time I see it mention on the baby names thread. Really irritating name.

Not keen on Beverly either. I knew a little Beverly in the late 90s when it was already very dated and felt so sorry for her. She was really out of place amidst the other girls in her class “Chloe, Grace, Caitlin and Bev”.

Fran, Betty, Barry, Shirley

Any of the nouveaux American name varieties---Madison, Mason, Jackson, Brooklyn
