Baby names with connotations

[Happyhappyveggie]

Like Myra for example? What does that make you think of?

Ainu?

joey -used as insult when I was growing up. Same for gaylord. Most of song names already mentioned

I know a old lady who named her children Myra and Iain, different spelling and they are both in their late 60s themselves.

Sid also reminds me of Sid the Sloth!

Sid the sexist from Viz for me!

I liked the name Charlie but my mum put me off saying he would get called peas and barely!!! Scratches head with that one but it did actually put me off

Lydia = the song 'Lydia the tattooed lady' as sung by Kermit the frog!

I tend to dislike what I call 'old fashioned' names as I knew too many old men called Albert ,Alf, Bill etc when I was growing up. They all tended to be thoroughly miserable so I would not have wanted any of them as family names . My family did go in for unusual Biblical names at one point , I gave those names a miss too! It's the unusual spellings of names that gets me though, imagine having to spell your name constantly because your parents wanted you to be different.

I have one of the names mentioned on here!

I met a girl before who said "My name is Terry, like the chocolate orange". 😂

I know quite a few Máire s (pronounced my-ra). It's still a fairly popular name over here, being the Irish form of Mary.

Jade is old-fashioned slang for prostitute.

Ah! I didn't know that. That explains my mother's turning her nose up at my classmate's choice of name for her baby (classmate was 15 at the time which I'm sure influenced her opinion also).

bimbo my aunt went NUTS at my cousin's choice for her DS (not to her face of course!) Said it was a 'cruel' choice and he would be teased.

The name?

Daniel!!!

Apparently there is an old rhyme -'Dan, Dan, the dirty old man/Washed his face in a frying pan'

Lol!

Yes definitely Myra for me. A friend in Hong Kong named her daughter Myra as her English name (she has a Chinese name too, but the English name is more commonly used), and I winced when I first heard it, but it obviously has no connotation over there and was just a pretty name.

I would double-take at someone called Lolita, but not Lola. Jezebel is another.
Candida always gets me. Yuck, such an odd name choice.

Have to love the fact that Clooney and his wife chose the names they did and commented why.

Ha ha fizzy, haven't heard of that before.

My husband vetoed Alice, because of the song. Which was a shame as I loved it.

Also Amelia because of the baby with no limbs issue.

Amelia- no limbs??
I Don't get it?

Amelia
