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!

lol this is really funny. I do believe every name ever suggested has been mentioned here. My little bundles name has not thankfully. I wasnt going to partake but darn it I just cant help myself.
My friend called her little girl Lara- I just cant find a way of liking it. I actually find it hard to say - dont know why- I dont have a lisp or anything!
Boys name - many- but of the top lists at the mo- probably Alfi- Its cute and all, for a little cute boy- and maybe for a trendy teenager..but for an older man I just dont get it. SOrry if Ive offended! xx

Three of mine are here, one several times

Lewis - just cannot see the attraction. Like Louis (Lou-ee) though.

Rhys/Reece - when I hear this name its like chalk screeching down a blackboard.

Ewan - yuck

Rhiann - awful

Teehee this is very funny thread. Mine top 3 are

Cayden (overheard an older lady ask a parent where they got this name from, the response, "its from America" WTF!?)

Jayden (I'm guessing this might be from America too though I'm not sure...)

Demi-leigh (half a leigh? In fact Demi-anything...)

Ha ha - what a great thread!

I know what you mean about names. I guess there will always be people which you choose to forget in life whose names will tarnish everyone else with the same name... Like Daniel or Ian (shudder).

Mine are

Thomas
Levi
Bethany
Imogen.

Imogen

Chloe

Don't know why, just do

Am I the only person here to have an irrational hatred of the name James?

I can just about stomach it for an older man, but child Jameses give me that sinking feeling that you get after Christmas or a great holiday.

It's Catherine Gee's fault - she was presenting an episode of 'Escape to the Country', trying to find a house for a couple with a son called James, and the way she droned on and on about potential bedrooms for this James kid sucked all the positivity out of the name for me.

I know it's irrational and it's a nice name for anyone who doesn't have Ms Gee's drony voice stuck in their head!!

I'm surprised DS's name has only been mentioned once - it regularly gets a slagging on these name threads.

Jessica and Rebecca - can't abide either but they are perfectly fine popular names to most people.

Superdragonmama - as an actual Summer, I agree with you entirely!! It is a ridiculous name!

at mathanxiety. My dd is Anya (Annie) and I adore the name. Different strokes for different folks I guess....

Ella
Hannah
Poppy
Alfie
Abby

I HATE YOUR NAMES, FOR NO APPARENT REASON TOO. BECAUSE I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.

(this is duchesse's daughter, my name is here several times)

Apologies AnnieBeansMum.

(In my defence, it is an irrational dislike)

I should have put a wink or something after my post mathanxiety. No need to apologize. Everyone has different tastes.

Loads. But especially:

Joshua (lovely before ubiquity ruined it)

Ha ha, my name is on here a lot! Probably as it is now stupidly popular. It wasn't at all when I was growing up.

I have a huge list of names I irrationally dislike...

Grace
Abigail
Abby
Nancy
Esme
Mavis
Chloe
Poppy
Ellie
Vicki
Amy
Sue
Dawn
Jodie
Karen
Tanya
Zoe
Deborah
Ruby
Evie
Megan
Hannah
Paige
Madison

Sebastian
Eric
Derek
Owen
Ian
Alfie

And lots of names I have a rational dislike of too, but I'll stop now.
