"I've never met a nasty <insert name>...."

[notanumber]

It's funny how your liking of a name is influenced by people you know. On any given name thread, someone will always pipe up, 'I was bullied by a Gemma/Mandy/Annabel at school so I hate that name now', but it's rarer that people say 'God, that's an objectively horrible name, but I know a fabulous Gertrude so I actually really like it now'.

I don't go in much for Irish names usually, but I make an exception for Siobhán. I've never met a nasty one. All the Siobháns I've ever come across have been really sunny and lovely.

However all (ok, most) of the Joshuas I've met are a different matter.

I've only ever come across Joshua's of questionable character too!!! ...quite an effeminate name I feel

I've yet to meet a nasty Alice, nor Jemima for that matter, needless to say these are two of my favourites!

There seems to be something about the Gemma's and Jessica's that I've met too

Hmmm...

"I've never met a nasty Kate"

Every Connor I've met has been a little tinker!

Hi Mel :)

I agree about Gemma. But do know a couple of nice ones, come to think of it!

All the Katherines I know are lovely. Also Rebeccas, Charlottes and Toms...

for the record, i know an absolutely awful siobhan and a horrible kate

Hugo
Rebecca
Maria
James
Emily
Lucy
Clare
Ruth

All the Kates I've ever met are MAD.

I only met nice Zoes so I called my baby that.

Kate
Una
John
Gill
Jim
Alex

But Connor, Daniel and Jackie. Yikes!

I've never met a nasty Janet. BUt i don't think that name is making a come back!

I know of many Joshua's so it's a mixed name here.

I have a Joshua who works for me who's almost the coolest person I've ever met
I've never met a nasty Alex, Claire, Ellie, Lizzie, Gemma, Erin, Jude, Penny, John, Michael or Stephen

James , nor an unattractive one either.....

Emmas are normally very bitchy

Joshuas and Harrys are usually naughty
never met a nasty alice or ben

I think it's just so irrelevant. I hate when somebody says 'oh i know a gorgeous little Hyacinth'. That means nothing. I mean, it does to the person who knows the hyacinth, because their preconceptions of what a hyacinth looks like have been altered, but i don't think you can spread that on a thread.

Hello, hello Blueberry

I'm adding Emma to the list too!!!

Emma to which list!?

I agree with Scarlett!

All the Lauras I know (4) are lovely.

Most of the weddings I have been to have involved a James or an Andrew. (But not both).

I've also only encountered lovely Bens and Alices.

I did encounter an awful Siobhan at school but she didn't have the accent thingy - maybe that makes a difference! [smle]

Emma to the 'lovely list' Blueberry

Yes I agree with Scarlett too! ..my first bf was James, and a handsome chap he was ...scuttles off to look for said chap on FB!!!

Yes, I agree with Laura.

Also, I've only ever met lovely people named Paul, Lucy, Hannah, Susan & Callum

Katie, Tom and Jenny are nice.

Every Jade (female) I have met has been a complete bitch.

Oh, and most Beckys have been nice.

All the Laurens I've ever known have been lovely. I used it for dd2!
