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.

Imogen

I always think Imogen sounds like a gas/electric company!

Oh, and I've never met a nice Jeremy in my life.

Does anyone think that if you were writing a smutty book with a right kinky bastard in it, you'd name him Sebastian?!
It totally has that ring to it.

Olivia and Oliver
I domy understand why so many people want to name their dcs after a greasy green squishy ball of yukiness.

My name is one of those that's generally tacked on in a hyphenated way, but I've got it as a standalone name.

I used to like it, but now I feel as though I need to adopt a prosthetic name to stick on the front to make it feel complete!

Both my daughters and my name have been mentioned

I don't mind James but I HATE when people insist on it being shortened to Jim. I don't know why its just awful

Oh god SO many.
Anything that’s an American surname.
Anything that’s made up.
Anything that’s a thing or a colour or an object not a name ie Sky, Heaven.
Ella, Bella, Evie, Eva - yawn.
Names that every other child has Oliver, Harry, George
Names that are shortened versions of real names Lottie, Charlie.
Most of them looking at that 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

Like Tom and Dick?

I can't stand the name David, it's awful!

And McKenzie too!

Dulcie - I have no idea why anyone would inflict this on their offspring.

@Crinkle77

Becky. I was dumped for a Becky.

Well if it makes you feel better I hate that name too

Ooh dear my DC name has been mentioned quite a few times 😳

Olive

Nigel, Terrence, Brayden, Stella, because she was a horrible cow at riding school, Brenda, Lydia because it makes me think of chlamydia.

Josh/Joshua or worse shortened to Joshie. Any time you hear that moaned across a playground you just know the mother will be the on complaining their little darling is not appreciated at school and the teacher is jealous because they're more intelligent then them. Or other twaddle.

Harrison. It's just such a surname to me, I really don't like it as a first name.
Pamela. My granny's name. Although she changed to use her second name because "it sounded so old-fashioned". If it sounded bad in 1938, how old-fashioned is it now!
Winifred/Wilfred
Nora-just sounds moany.

I think between the posts most names have been mentioned by now

My children seem to be lucky with names not mentioned - yet!

Wilfred and Charlie. Yuck.

Oh and Olly. Sounds like a right little shit.

I wonder if we had the same ex! Surely to god there can't be two evil Craig's![/quote]
@lachy

Re: Craig.

His last name began with L and he is now deceased.

.....well, anyway, I hate the name Simon. Such a wet name.

Amelia and Harry

Tristan
Julian

Christopher and Nicholas.

They were inspired by Simon. All three go together in my mind.
