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.

Haaa, ALL of my family’s names are on here - mine, DH’s, both kids, puppy, all three siblings, both parents...😂

Paige
Sky
Kerry
Madison
Mason

I knew someone who named their boy Carter. I mean, why would you? I'd always it associate with the band CarterUSM (maybe that's what they're aiming for )

I had a lovely friend called Judith. She couldn’t stand her name so called herself Jude.

Ruth has a sound I don’t like.

Bloody hell - I forgot I started this thread and almost commented.

Phoebe
Jonty
Percy
D’Shawn

Cheryl
Richie
Blanche

I've never heard the name Darnley before but I already irrationally dislike it

There’s an area of Glasgow called Darnley. I can’t imagine choosing to name a child after it. 😂

If we're generalising, we had a proper laugh at all the William Wibblington Wobbletons (nn Twonkers) that came out at the boat race yesterday.....

Jackson or got forbid Jaxon

Uberchav.

-Anything hyphenated ie Ella-Louise.

• Names that can be used for either gender, particularly when they sound like a boy’s name but are used for a girl ie Charlie, Bobby, Sam, Alex. Can’t stand them!

-Names that should actually be surnames ie Cooper, Lee, Miller etc

But the absolute worst is names that are spelt incorrectly just to be trendy... ie Jaxon instead of Jackson, Iyla instead of Isla... just why???

So many names I hate, gonna be hard choosing names for my future DC!

Chloe, Luke and Joshua. Every Chloe i had in my class was pretentious and spiteful, Luke because one Mother insisted on screeching Lukey as soon as she set foot in the playground and out of the12 out of the 13 Joshua's i had found it impossible not to fight.

Anyone else skip straight to the last page for the inevitable bunfight? I

It's not here, everyone's just chatting! What's going on?

Name a family that has the best names, I knew a family that were Daz, Shaz and Trace the dog, for those old enough to remember VIZ will get why it is such a great collection of names.

Skylar

Oliver- overused sissy name and popular. Ollie even worse

Alfie - a budgie name and can't take it seriously ....twee and almost as bad as Archie - UGH!!!

Caspar eurgh

Freya

This thread contains the names of my entire family, my friends and probably everyone I’ve ever met

@JesusInTheCabbageVan someone was moaning that this thread wasn't v "be kind" a few pages back but got quickly shut down. Otherwise it's just people naming their school bullies

I haven't read the whole thread but I'll bet anything mine and DD's names are both on it somewhere
Anyway, can't bear Miles, Hugo, Archie, and yes anything randomly misspelt!

Amy/Aimee, they were always the mean girl when I was at school

@FutureProofed

Nothing irrational about my dislike of imperfectly anglicised or plain wrong Irish names -- Neve for Niamh is awful, and don't get me started on Sorcha pronounced as 'SORE-sha' or Aoibheann pronounced Ay-VEEN, which would be correct only if Irish language phonetics were completely reinvented.

Cáitlín stripped of its fadas and pronounced 'Kate-Lin' also gives me the rage, but to be fair, it probably has its own independent existence at this point, even if its origins were in a misunderstanding.

Oh dear - I've been pronouncing these names wrong! How should they be pronounced? Or is it impossible to do properly in an English accent?

An Irish colleague of mine once called the name 'Siobhan' through, and was ignored, he called twice more before the mum said do you mean 'Sigh-oh-Bahn' 😅

Most names suggested on the baby names board on here. They are usually so fucking irritatingly twee and try hard.
