Which perfectly nice names do you really dislike for no reason you can put your finger on?

[notanumber]

I don't mean names that you think are:

'posh' (Fenella)
'chavvy' (Kayden)
'princessey' (Annabelle)
'hypheney' (Ellie-Mae)
'illiterate' (Mykal)
'ubiquitous' (Ruby)
'celeby' (Britney)
and so forth.

I mean names which for absolutely no reason you can put your finger on, you really really dislike. They don't come with associations or baggage, you just don't like it.

The test is, if you can say: "I don't like it because...(it reminds me of a horrible kid in primary school/it's really dated/ I know fifteen of them)" then it doesn't count. There has to be absolutely no justifiable (or unjustifiable) reason for your dislike of it.

For me: Hazel.

I just think it's really a horrid name.

Rebecca - makes the same sound as cats coughing up fur balls. Eckeckeck.

Charlotte.

No idea why.

And I could never imagine looking at a newborn and saying "Aaah Derek/Geoffrey/Ian/Jeremy..."

Caitlin too. And Vicky, Becky, Charlie etc....

Elizabeth
Stephanie
Ruth
Luke

Incomprehensibly ugly, porridgey names all.

Nelly
norbert
billy
michelle "shell"

Beatrice
Penelope/Penny
Chloe

For some reason I hate Amelia.

Milly
Tilly

inconsequential...or even silly

Betty and Betsy.

Araminta because I hate the taste of mint.

Monty.Why is this so popular?

Alfie

Beryl

Fergus

Ivy

Iris

Malachi

Ned

Ursula

Any of the 'Finn' names

Paul

Hector

Gosh

haven't read whole thread but have no problems with any of the names I've seen listed

I don't think I hate any names (although there are some I would never give a child today, like Herbert, or Beryl, or some of the made-up modern ones)

Really Pleased not to have seen dc's names yet!

For me I loathe
Alan
Barry
Tracey
Linda
Elaine
Maisie
Molly
Holly
Ian

I had an aunty Mabel and loved her very much but I'd never saddle a lovely baby girl with the name - I just think Blue Peter dog now.

The name Emily is nice but Amelie is just wrong. I don't know how to pronounce it.

Met a baby Steven at toddler group last week (shudder)

Connor, 3 of my kids' names have been listed

just waiting for the 4th now

(I don't care though )

I hate most names which begin with H (boys and girls). Which is unfortunate, as my own name begins with H. I hate it.

Dylan
Theo
Megan

I agree with Olive....yuk!!!!!!!!

But really don't like Claire or Katie or Rachel. Which are all perfectly normal, just really don't like them!

For boys:
Chris(topher)
Mark
Tony
Jason

Ethan

And Milly, Tilly and their ilk.

And unmanly, cutesy names for boys, like Alfie, Freddie etc

Jessica
