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?

I recognise that people consider these names to be pretty and feminine, but they are just too sickly sweet for me:
Amelia and Emilia

Noah (sorry NATW, it is irrational I know!)
Oliver
Joanne
Sarah

DH had plenty such names, it was his reason for vetoing what seemed like hundreds of my lovely name suggestions.

All Chris men are evil.

John - might as well be called Blob or Man.

Ernest - will the poor child never be allowed to crack a smile?

Olivia - just because I hate olives, and having a vile food in your name is taking things too far.

Oh dear, me and all 3 of my dd's are on here ...

My irrational hate is Ellie. The ones I know are all little buggers

"me and all 3 of my dd's are on here"

of course what I meant was that my name, and all 3 off my dd's names are on here ...

Robert shortened to Rob or Bob.
Lewis.
John.
Brittany.
Ashley for a boy. LOVE the name Ashleigh for a girl.

im so irrational its unreal.
also Amy, Aimee, any spelling or variant. No.

Uh oh, my sister, my best friend, my DD, my DS1 name and DS2's middle name are all on this thread.

harrumph.

PMSL Elephants and Miasma at your comment re: 'John'.

evie
lily
grace
ellie
ruby

tom
simon

Thomas and Holly.

I have no reason to justify myself.

Yes, Ellie as well! Irrational, I know but smacks of can't be bothered to think of anything so I'll use the name that every other bugger is using!

Don't like Jessica at all either.

Also detest Anne. Knew a really nasty one once.

I just hate really pretentious, trying too hard names, most of which I see on here, not in real life to be honest.

Nicholas - always hated that name.
Natasha - total cows, every one that I've met!

I am so SO sorry as I know it's popular but I can't stand Ophelia. It just smacks of
effort and doesn't sound very nice.

I'll do mine then,but I have too many to think of...

Alfie
Archie
Freya
Jamie
Adam
Jayden
Caden
Callum

Will undoubtedly be back with more.

Tracey,Joanne,[dd is Joanna and I hated the confusion],any of those K names like Kylie,Kaley,Keira,Kelly
my own horrible first name-not telling but begins with V and was popular in 40s and 50s
Darren,Wayne,Jason,Shane,Dale
I was a teacher and those names haunted my nightmares in the 80s

Nancy too for me.
Noah
Daisy

May be back with more...

Thomas. I only know nice ones too, its odd. I have no idea why but I just can't stand it!

Crikey, will offend EVERYONE here..I don't particularly like girls names ending in 'ey' or 'ie' or that sound. So, Kirsty, Kayleigh, Esme, Lilly etc.

Ethan, Joshua, Craig, Nicholas, Alfie.

Emma, Susan, Amy, Bethany, Ella, Ava.

Aaron and Zachary.

Smacks of laziness.

Pareents opens Treasury of Baby Names at beginning/end: "Oh that'll do."

Demelza. Either insane or unclean IME.

Simon
Ian

They remind me of sweaty Sales Directors who say things like 'for my sins' and use 'myself' and 'yourself' rather than 'me' or 'you'. And play golf.

Hmm, my name and DD's beautiful name have already had a mention so here's my hate-list...

Caitlin
Abigail
Ellie

Ethan (think 'Eeeefffannn' being shouted out in supermarkets and playgrounds has ruined this one for me)
Ben
Thomas
Jayden
Kieran

Oliver...I don't get why it's so popular
