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.

Flick and Fran as abbreviated names.

Darcey (no idea why but I did once have to leg it after a Darcey who was trying to do a runner so maybe that 's what did it)

I think you ought to post your name and your kids' names if you're going to slate other people's names/their children's names.

Freya. Sounds so frail and weak, like her wrists would snap if she lifted anything heavier than a kitten.

Alice
Grace
Olivia
Pippa
Imogen
Hugo
Archie
Albie
Louis

Nothing wrong with any of them I can put my finger on. Just names I irrationally dislike.

Names like Emma or Amy, they are pretty names for young girls but I just can’t imagine a 70 year old women with the name Emma. Sorry if it offends anyone. I know lots with these names too.

Joshua......yuk! And people that have named their offspring a ridiculous made up name and insist on shouting it out all over the supermarket cause they're soooo proud of their "originality"

Jessica....dont like the sic in it
Savannah....sorry but its horrid
Rylan

Thread is currently 24 pages long, think there's a possibility alot of pps names/childrens names have got a mention!

It's okay not to like a name, I don't like mine!

Philippa. I don’t know why, I know one and she’s lovely but the name really grates on me. Also Toby.

Lincoln. Ugly shade of green and bland, cheap biscuits.

That's funny because my mother was Amy and her mother, Emma. There were no children of my age with those names when I was growing up, they seemed to come back into fashion when I entered my twenties so I associated them with old people.

Wendy always seemed like a childish name to me but now it seems very old fashioned.

I agree Fleur makes me feel odd...yes it sounds like someone being sick

Kim
Terence
Timothy
Sharon
Jeffery
Ethan
Douglas
So far, my name (which i hate) hasn't been mentioned, or dh or dc's

It belongs with Freya in the weak wristed corner.

Megan, Chloe, Andrea, Agnes, Olive, Angus, Duncan and worst of all Karl. Apologies to anyone with those names but my own name has been mentioned and to be honest I don’t like it myself.

Milo
Arlo
Mahalia
Timothy
Kelly

Daisy
David/ Dave
Teddy
Anything double barrelled or girls name followed by Mae e.g. Ella Mae
Millicent
Ottalie
Elodie
Fleur
Genevieve
Tony
Peter/ Pete
Amelie

Any derivative of Jane (Jean, Jeannette etc) just very dull.
Leslie (for a man, grim)
All the weird made-up ones: the Shayleens, Kai-anns and what have you.
Maureen, Brenda, Betty, very dated
Emily - quite a nice name but there was a period when every other young woman I met seemed to be called Emily (or Ellie).

Ones I’d love to hear more often:
Tabitha, Fenella (mainly due to the divine Ms Fielding) Liv.

Joshua, I cant even say it out loud. No idea why.

Dawn
Bethany

Archie

Jackson (and Jaxon is even worse)
Bailey

All awful.

Clara
Declan

Leslie as a male name makes me irrationally uncomfortable.

I also hate my DH’s name 😬 (it’s not Leslie)

Lizzie
