Are there any names that you really really hate - ones that make a little sick come in your mouth?

[Buddjela]

I have one - and yet loads of people seem to like it and some even use it.

Weirdos.

Do you want to be asked what it is? And no,I have to say I don't feel that strongly about what other people call their children.

No I don't want you to ask.

I do too and it is also inexplicably common these days.

There was a thread going the other day about names you hate.

I won't then

Oh you can't not tell us what the name is!!! It's not like someone has asked for your opinion on their baby's name & you've said you hate it so much it makes you sick!! Just tell us what the name is!

People have allsorts of different and interesting names, soem you like and others you don't like and this will be the same the world over. Soem names you might not be keen on but a person that is a good in your life with that name may change your view and visa versa.

Thats my good and bads names answer

Didn't see it Wanderingsheep - but was it about making a little bit of sick come in your mouth?

My name isn't common thankfully Niecie - I have no real reason why I dislike it so much except I know someone who had it and they were one of the worse people I've ever know.

Stanley

Sorry to anyone who has a lovely Grandad Stan but this just makes me think of old men's stained trousers.

Maureen

Sorry Auntie More love you but not the name.

I don't have any names I strongly dislike to an extreme extent but I do on occasion think WTF were the parents thinking.

One of my friends just named her beautiful newborn daughter Beattie.....!

Apologies if anyone has named their child this but it reminds me of a fat victorian maid or those old 80's BT adverts with Maureen Lipman. Horrendous for a little girl! Beatrice would've been better

It was a really long thread. It was the only "names you hate" thread that I've seen, apart from this one that hasn't kicked off! It was asking people to give names that they hate irrationally.

It just goes to show how subjective names are and that you can't please everyone. DD's name was listed a million times .

There aren't any names that make me feel a bit sick but plenty that make me think yawn or make me wrinkle my nose and think, "poor child!"

"A little sick in my mouth"? - Are we on the internet circa 2003?

Plenty of names that I don't like. None that 'make a little sick come in my mouth". But then I'm not 12.

I will never understand why some people have such strong reactions to someone else's child's name.

Plenty feel that way about my sons name He is called Conrad

I love it he is CLEARLY a Conrad and couldnt be anything else

What else matters?

No children's names put a little bit of sick in my mouth. They are just names. There have been quite a few posts like this on here.

My DD is Evie - I've read in recent threads that people on here really dislike it as it is 'too popular' and too baby-ish. She is clearly an Evie now and couldn't be anything else. As Lonnie says - what else matters?

I love the name Conrad, Lonnie, although why should you care!

In my case it isn't so much that I hate the name (and I certainly don't do the sick thing) but that I don't understand how some names become so popular. That especially goes for very old names which 10 or 15 yrs ago everybody would have considered old fashioned and wouldn't dream of using and yet somehow it becomes popular again. What causes that to happen?

Having said that I can't see my own name ever becoming popular again (definitely from 60's and 70's) and DS1 has a name that I am sure will cause a for some people.

I LOVE the name Conrad. My first all-consuming, heart- thumping delirious crush was on a skater boy called Conrad when I was eleven. :)

I'm with what 5dollarshake said, get a grip!!!

What a nasty OP

All my kids have names that have been ripped apart on mn. I dont care i love them & i certainly dont dislike any names that make me want to vomit. Each to there own call your kids what you like regardless of what other people think.

"Sick in the Mouth"?!

I simply cannot understand how a name (be it a person's or a thing's) can evoke such strong reactions .

A person, yes. But a person's name, no.

i think it was just a bit of light hearted silliness. i hate the name Ian, it makes me shudder, for no good reason whatsoever. i have a lovely cousin and a very good friend called Ian, both very nice men. I dont hate people because they are called Ian, i just - FOR NO REASON AT ALL- hate with a passion the name.
plenty of people hate my childrens names - thats fine really, if they had a child called Ian i'd hate their childs name too. i dont really think they'd care.
