Marmite names which MNetters don't like..!!

[scarlettlips]

It seems this topic board has loads of MN's 'marmite' names. Loads of threads along the lines off, 'DC would of been' or 'Names you Love.'.

...so I was just wondering, which names don't you like and why?

Bingo! All of my family's names are on here now.

I HATE made up names, or pretentious names. I like proper names, although I think you can be a little more creative with girls.

I don't like names like Tierney/Tiana/Leighton/Kyle/Reece etc etc, those names belong to children who's parents have appeared on Jeremy Kyle.

The worst name I ever heard on this forum was Octavia. yuk yuk yuk!

I think it's particularly cruel giving boys stupid names, when they are 15 they're just gonna get ripped to pieces by their mates, a guy at work has named his baby boy Sonnet. As in a poem! WTF? That's just child abuse!
Boys need proper names! Joe/Jack/Tom. Yes they might be boring but boys don't want a fancy name.

My fave girl's name at the mo is Eloise. So pretty but not very common.
As somebody who has a pretty popular name and never being the only one, I'd like my daughter to have a name which isn't overly used but not weird.

Caitlin is pronounced Kate-lyn

If you called your child Cáitlín it would be a different matter.

Honour the Fada

Glad someone pointed out that Prince "Harry" 's real name is Henry...

Names I hate-

Boys:
Craig
Gary
Kevin
Mark
Lee
David
Steven
Paul
Adam
Sean
Luke
Daniel
Micheal
Shane
Barry

(Oddly all the names of boys in my class in the 80s!!)

Girls:
Tracey
Kirsty
Gemma
Laura
Lauren
Claire
Michelle
Jenna
Charlene
Stacey
Kaylee
Nicola
Paula

(same as above... odd)

Haha my name is on the above list. It's ok I wont take offence, I see your point.

sorry hunny

I honestly think it is something to do with the names I grew up with. Familiarity breeds contempt...??!!!

Oh, and I loathe the name 'Seren'. It reminds me of gypsies, and not in a good way.

I've been named too, and ds. Dh is Andrew...does anyone hate that? We could have a full house :)

Me and DD's mentioned. Ah well.

I'm also on the list!

Me too. Hey ho.

I'm doing well so far, only one of the names in my family mentioned. Clearly our names are either nice or obscure.
I agree that stripper names for children are awful (Lola or Tallulah)
There are "naughty names" such as Luke and Ollie, associations with several mischievous children.
Any kind of drink, especially alcoholic, makes people think that's what you were drinking at conception:
Bailey
Chardonnay
Carling
Foster

I love the names that I expect come under 'solid=dull' description.

I hate K names, Kyle, kayden, Kai (personal top worst name) kieron etc, I can't think of a K name I like. Other than Katherine/Kate.

I'd say Victoria was a classic girls name. Both my kids have reasonably unpopular names, DD very much so but not completely outlandish, DS is probably more popular in Scotland.

I'm so glad my ds & d-i-l picked names I like. GD is Madeline, she gets called Maddie, and people ask if it's short for Madison. No, no, a million times no.

I'm no fan of Kayden, Jayden, or Kai type names, or anything that ends in 'eesha'. And what about Jorja! Georgia is a lovely name IMO, I don't understand why anyone would carve it up like that.

Hurrah...finally DD's name has been mentioned

God I think I named most of MN in my list by the looks of things

few people admit to liking 'chav' names

Well, they do but they are all on Netmums!

Hero, my name is on your list too. I'm sure if I still lived in the UK it would be viewed as one of those dated 70's names as it was so common when I was little. Where I live now though, it's quite a trendy name for little girls because it doesn't have the same associations.
