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.

Bethany 🤢 I have no idea why but the name Bethany makes me want to throw up. Strangely I don’t mind Bethan.

Candice. I’ve literally never met a Candice that isn’t a real bitch.

I like girls' names ending with a consonant.
I get irrationally annoyed by how many names end with 'ella' 'etta' 'ia' for girls - all those frilly names!
Boys' names - don't have too many dislikes.

coronafiona · 04/04/2021 23:35

Jensen, Ansen etc... all sound the same to me.
I don't like old fashioned names like Arthur, Dorothy but I do like old fashioned classical names like milly, Emily. But then I also like American names like madison. I'm very inconsistent Grin

Ruth - don't know any but never liked it.

Bailey - it's not a name to me and I'd be a bit disappointed if my DD brought home her first boyfriend and that is his name
