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.

[quote Baggingarea]@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 Grin[/quote]
Makes sense! OK, Gail and Tracey, if you're on here you can go fuck yourselves. Grin

Deborah or Debbie. I really don't know why. All the names on the lists provoke no negative feelings. Just Debbie. Don't know any in my circle or growing up. Perhaps it was Dico 2000 by pulp that did it.

@FishyFriday

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. 😂

He does exist. I didn’t know it was an area in Glasgow! He’s a bully.
Cissyandflora · 05/04/2021 23:41

Lee is terrible. Always makes me think about it being eel spelt backwards. Leigh is as bad though.

Cissyandflora · 05/04/2021 23:45

@ginoclocksomewhere

SignOnTheWindow 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' 😅
That reminds me of f the time I met a Sian at work. She said her name was pronounced Sigh- Ann. I said oh you must get people thinking your name is Sian and she told me her parents had just mispronounced Sian but now she was stuck with being sigh ann.

Gertrude
Sullivan
Bobby and even worse Bobbi

Kezzie200 · 06/04/2021 05:16

Names spelt wrong and owners who moan when we spell it differently - as if we've got some weird crystal ball.

Frazzledd · 06/04/2021 07:54

Just wondering if anyone hasn't had their name or DCs mentioned!? Or if you've read this and had a rethink on a baby name choice- (tbh I'd have had a rethink on Dd1s now...I think I'm a chav...Shock).

(Putting my Burberry scarf/cap combo back in the closet......Blush)

Fembot123 · 06/04/2021 08:04

I haven’t had my name or my DC’s mentioned as far as I’m aware.

lollipoprainbow · 06/04/2021 08:43

Pleased to see my dd name hasn't been mentioned, although mine and my nieces name has been ripped to pieces Hmm

Inertia · 06/04/2021 09:13

Not a fan of a hard g sound in names, especially ag- Aggie, Maggie, Magda , Dagmar, Naga , Agatha etc. Also Gretchen, Gertrude , Greta.

The name Jorja conveys a sense of being uncomfortably full . I cannot explain this.

HeronLanyon · 06/04/2021 09:13

I feel an absurd sense of pleasure that none of my family’s names have caught my eye here. Grin the very definition of ‘small meaningless ‘victories’ ‘, eh ?

HeronLanyon · 06/04/2021 09:15

In an absurd coincidence I cross posted with a post which included not one but 2 ! Victory snatched away ! Grin

Teaandscone · 06/04/2021 09:26

Joanne. Spiteful bully!

MondeoFan · 06/04/2021 10:37

@Frazzledd no mine hasn't but mine is quite unusual and my 2 DD's haven't been mentioned either.
I can't imagine anyone not liking my eldest DD's name and I know my youngest DD name is a bit like marmite - mostly people like but some dislike from recent threads on here asking about baby names

KindnessCrusader · 06/04/2021 10:39

Lily-no idea why!

Jupiterstar · 06/04/2021 11:23

Anna
Ottilie (I don’t get it!!!!)
Grace
Seb (I like Sebastian but hate Seb!)
Same as above with Mel and Meg
I also get slightly irritated when I hear of another Oliver or Olivia!

Cissyandflora · 06/04/2021 14:20

Even my dear little hamster gets a mention here! Several times. (RIP my dear Dylan)

brushlaptop · 06/04/2021 14:23

Lol Dylan another name I irrationally hate!
