to wish my name wouldn't always come up in the baby names threads?

[AnkerAlt]

NC for this. My name always comes up in the baby names threads. Always as 'dated' or 'common' or 'chavvy' etc etc. Sick of seeing my name slagged off and I never felt down about it until mn. To the point that I have hidden the baby names threads and never read them, even though we are currently trying to think of a name for DC1. AIBU to think that we don't think of these things when we slag off other people's names on the internet? That people actually have these names?

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks - I wish it was Aoife .

Oh dear. 😭

Father Hiroshima Twinkie
Father Stig Bubblecard,
Father Johnny Hellzapoppin’
Father Luke Duke,
Father Billy Ferry,
Father Chewy Louie,
Father John Hoop...

😂

I might call a labrador Shadow.

Is it Savannah? I really like that name but I don’t care what most people on MN think about my name choices.

Shadow? Fuck me.

I was going to say Kylie for OP but then I realised, most Kylies will be late 20s/early 30s by now and OP is only 23.

Where do the years go...

Is it Kayleigh, perhaps?

I reckon Danielle or Lauren

Paige I bet ya

My name is a bit Marmite on MN*. It was popular for my generation then died off but has had a little bit of a resurgence.

MN feelings about it include ‘classic’ ‘harsh’ ‘beautiful’ and ‘ugly’. So there we go!

*My name is not Marmite
so watch what you say

I so want to say something now... 😈

Rumplestiltskin?

My name is one of the "overdone" ones but I've only actually ever known one other person with the same name in real life, so it never really bothered me! I avoided those threads entirely when choosing my daughter's name - not really fussed what MN thought of it tbh although I have just done a search out of curiosity and besides some arguments about spelling people like it. Which means in 20 years time it'll be universally loathed.

My daughter is 25 - a list of her mates (and herself) include:
Paige, Megan, Josie, Chloe, Emily, Katy, Rebecca, Laura, Evie, Kaitlin.........
any of those OP? - very much names of the Nineties.

Oh yeah, and I fit into the group of 50 to 70 year olds with that ubiquitous 1960's name. Still it could have been worse, my poor sis was saddled with a name so awful, that it ranks up there with Kevin, on the chart of first names not never ever used any more. (middle names after relies acceptable though).

I am surprised at the "horrible" names being cited here.

Wait until someone slags off your babies name. Violent thoughts will ensue.

My dds name has been mentioned on this thread

I do not feel violent

Yet
