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.

@TurkeyTrot

I think you misunderstood the post...but you go on winning there...🤣

Amelie
Brian
Ian
Nicola

Jade
Chelsea
Anything with Rae tagged on the end

Jaden/Kaden/Brayden

@20viona totally agree

Alfie, Archie, Ronnie, Nigel, Cordelia any girls with Mae or May! Don't know why, these just make me cringe!

Harrison
Jackson
Chloe

Alfie and Evie 😑 yawn

Sharon - ironically it's my mother's name and I find every Sharon I've met annoying. People who decide to spell common names wrong to be different also annoy me eg Max spelt Maxx.
Neveah! Heaven backwards, seen alot of very sick kids with this name...maybe it was tempting fate?
Any double barrell names eg Lily-Mae and May/March in general.
Louise- everyone my age has the middle name Louise.

Wayne
Dwayne
Keith
Jayden
Kayden
Places names as first names
Names starting with Le' or De' like Le-Shaun etc
Justin
Malachy
Ronnie/Ronald
Donald
Nigel
Archibald/Archie
Nelson
George

Emily
Esther

Hyphenated first names Ella-Mae, Sarah-Louise
Bridie
Louise
Stacey
Tracey
Victoria

Melanie
Margory
Crystal

I also think it is totally cringe when all family kids names start with same first letter ...

I could keep going... (but I don't dislike people with names I dislike!).

There is probably loads more

Again, completely irrational but names that are not class appropriate. Sebastian, Arabella, Hugo etc - lovely, but not for anything less than the aristocracy (and shopping at Waitrose doesn't cut it!)

I don't know why my boss is a Crispin and it just makes me think of crisps.

I hate names that could be dog names Poppy, Lilly, Molly, Teddy, Charlie, Alfie. Generally I would hear them in the niace London park near where I used to live. A child comes running, not their Labrador when the name is called.

I hate all those granny names Ivy, Olive....you name your kid after a salty wrinkly thing.

I hate the wet names Evie, Milly etc

Jaxon, Jayden etc- don't need a reason. It's just a fact.

I also hate Paige. It's like a page in a book

Otto. It's so over used as a baby name where I live and just makes me think of Otto von Bismarck.
Gideon. Makes me think of dastardly Rob in the Archers.
Maisie, Milly, Molly etc. Cute names on a little girl but ridiculous on an adult.

Emma and Lucy. Not irrational though, as they beyond insipid

Matilda

My friends little girl us called this, I can't bear it.

Harriet

Barbara and Priscilla. They sound evil.

Barry

Nigel

(and it's my DHs name)

@Itsmemaggie

Duncan

Me too! I thought I was unique he hating that name! To me Duncan sounds like someone with a noseful of catarrh 🤮

I don’t like the abbreviated names with May or Mae, eg Lizzie-Mae, either because I can’t stop myself adding in my head “...and she may not)

And I have an irrational dislike of ‘wrong’ names eg a child called April who was born in February, a child called Tuesday who was born on a Saturday.

Jayden, Kayden, brogan, Reagan, darcy, Kai, Neo (apart from Keanu reaves) Mitch.
Any made up name.
Any misspelt name.

Sebastian
Jasper
Felix
Delilah
Gobnait

First on due to being the name of a very horrible person I was in primary school. Then strengthen by the fact he who grew up to be an nasty deeply dislikeable man.

The others are more irrational. Jasper and Felixstowe are animal's names. Delilah is and always will an very well known (and awful) song, Gobnait is just because of how it sounds. No child should be subjected to any if those three.

And any hyphenated name....Lilly-mae, poppy-rose

Carrie and Sophie... both very wet.

Anything hyphenated.

Tilly
Harrison
Jaxon
Poppy
