the most regretted name is.....??

[smother]

ok, not a cheery topic, but I've noticed that there have been quite a few threads on here about name regrets and people wanting to change their DCs names... and it's got me wondering what the names that people regret are? are there any names that crop up more regularly than others?

BarbieLovesKen - don't feel like that, especially because of Mumsnet. I think Shannon is a lovely name. All the pretty love interest girls in Home and Away and Neighbours always seemed to be called Shannon so I think it is lovely.

I only know one adult Shannon and she is uber classy! I don't know of any young Shannons at all.

i called ds jack as we couldnt think of another boys name went to the ward and there were 3 others but he looks like a jack so i love it. Dd is rileigh (riley) and i got told on mn its chavy and I must be thick but to be honest after jack being so popular i wanted her to have something a bit different and she suits it. As you can guess i'm a stacey my middle name is my grans maiden name, hate it!

Oh thank you reddaisy & Edmundo - I really appreciate that!!

My ds is Guy and at school it was corrupted to Gay!!Still he likes it now.

I know a 10 year old shannon and she is absolutely beautiful...there is nothing chavvy about her or her family. I really don't think its chavvy at all!

Everyname is slated on here...my dd's name is too 'twee' I have read, but IMO its so pretty and beautiful just like my dd!

I agree with reddaisy that when I hear the name Shannon I think of an Australian beauty. Not at all chavvy! You really are worrying about nothing Ken. She will not be judged because of her name. You did good.

Seriously, most names are slagged off on here for being too common, be it chav, overused or 'the next Tracy'. Take it with a pinch.

One of my good friend is named Buster, his brother is Dashel or Dash for short and cousins are Appolonia, Thor and Belladonna!
