I know it's weird. But I'm not a huge fan of Ks. Hence liking Catherine but not Katherine. And I love V names - Victor, Vinnie, Sylvie, Viv. Anyone else particularly like or dislike certain letters?

I'd don't really like 'F' and for various reasons we are avoiding names beginning with L, S, B, H, A, E, I, O, U or Y!
Least it helps with the narrowing down of names!! Smile

Not keen on K, F, J and N. On the other hand I usually like names beginning with A, G, V and Z (Zoe and Zélie), but DH's surname makes Z names impossible (even though the initials Z.Z. would be very "Zorro" like for a boy!)

I hate K names, especially when they should be a C. My DP wants to spell the name we've chosen with a K. I've said it would make her sound common. Its a pet hate, like normal, traditionally spelt names with K's and Y's all over them where they should be. I once met a girl called Lauren who spelt her name Loryn - I asked her why, she said it was different. Fair point, but not my cuppa tea!

I love the letter Q.

I'm less keen on the letter J, but don't really 'hate' any letter.

I don't particularly like names starting with K either. Names beginning with Ja aren't that great either.

I'm not a big fan of e in the middle of a name either - if it can be removed without changing the sound, that's better.

I also prefer 5 letter names on the whole.

The letters I do like in the middle of names are the ones that are interesting shapes - i and j with dots, y, f, g etc with tails.

i hate G and B
I like K or C sound, i think i'm alone!!! :) Depends on the name which letter i like more e.g. I like Catherine, Clara, Cara but prefer Kayla and Kaiya to alternate letter beginning. I like soft names with A, O, M, L or V in them too. Eg Emily, Maya, Livia, Isabelle.
