Names you KNOW are perfectly nice but which you have an irrational hatred for

[sallyseton]

I'll go first-

Anne/Anna
Nancy

I don't know why I feel such a strong dislike for them! Perfectly nice normal names logically but for me.......no. To say the least.

Apologies to any parents of Annas or Nancys, I know I am the freakish one for feeling this way!

Figured everyone would have at least one name like this?

This won't end well, but:

Joshua
Isobel

Just so dull and middle class.

Hopefully this will show just how subjective names are and that it's just impossible to please everyone!

The only one I can think of is Grace.

It's a nice name with a nice meaning, but I've only ever known two and they were both total cows. Seriously.

Sarah - I don't like the spelling with the H at the end. Irrational, moi?

Not rationalising. Just being honest, but also acknowledging that I am being offensive. The world (of north London ) does not need any more Joshuas or Isobels. That may be offensive to you if your child is called Joshua or Isobel.

Fatty - Me too! I like Sara though. There's just no logic...

Sarah and Sara are completly different names

cant stand the name sally

Oh and I don't like Joshua or Matilda

They're not completely different names, Sara comes from Sarah.

Oscar for me - total irrational dislike.

Yes but they are supposed to be pronounced differently..

Sa-ra or Sarah

Not if you look them up on most baby names websites.

Oh fuck off skyrg
as you were.

Ethan
Lauren

I think it's the -en ending

And Evie

But I mentally pronounce them differently, so perhaps that's why I don't like Sarah. Still, generally they're now considered pretty much the same name.

Is that directed at me vinegar ?

I can assure you that I do not post under my real name!

Sorry Monkey, I'm sure you're lovely! I do like the name, I just hate my associations with it and thus could never use it. Feel free to prove me wrong

Gemma

As an actual Sarah I would be fucking pissed off if some halfwit started calling me Sara because they didn't like Sarah

Most people would pronounce them the same, so you'd never notice which they were calling you.. :)
As I said, I pronounce them differently, but that doesn't seem that common. I should also say that I quite like it when said, just not when written (completely irrational I know, but that was the point of this thread).

Also, I hate my own name!

Charlotte, Grace and Madeline.

Nathan,Alexander and Lewis.

For no reason other than they're not for me.

Emma and Emily both are just a bit wet but I can see that Jane Austin's "Emma" is anything but, so I can accept that this is irrational.
