Which Name do you Hate Most?

[Tigertots]

I hate the name Jane; I'm not saying it's the ugliest name in the world, by a long way (that's probably Griselda), but because of associations. Firstly, it was the name of the most horrible bully at my secondary school; and now, also, there's the Inbetweeners movie, in which the gorgeous Jay gets paired up with a fat plain Jane who is not cute enough for him!

xigris, we chose to name our ds Quentin .

I'm not quite sure what the purpose of this thread is, but I guess it shows that we all have different tastes. But isn't that what makes life interesting? Wouldn't it be dull if we all loved and chose the same few names....?

And to answer the op, there are lots of names I dislike but normally because of associations with specific people that I've met with those names.

Seren and Eleri

Haha im PG and both my girl and boy names are on here.. each to their own.

I cant stand the name Marcus.. Or marc. I.think it jus sounds really throaty.
And any girl name like Ava,.Eva, Evie, Eve.... Lilly... Sooo common!!!
Cant stand paige either. Yuck..

Sorry to anybody with any of.the above names haha.. I also hate my name..toni..yuck

Irrational hatred of 'K' names and K sounding names
kyle
Kai
Kaiden/kayden/Cayden/Caiden
Kale (why? why would you name your child after a cabbage)
Kade/cade
kaleb/caleb
Callum/calum

Juliette. Name of an absolutely horrible girl I knew at school, hated her so much but she loved us. And Milly. Just urgh. (I tend to associate names with the first person I know with them. Even a wonderful Juliette I would struggle to like.

Freya it reminds me of cheese

What the fuck is wrong with John, elephants? Should I assume you're of the Tyson, Rebel, etc. persuasion?

Alfie, Albie, Berti, Robert, Keith,Kevin,Wayne,Paul,

Biggest hate is Oliver or Ollie urgh

Girls: Milly,Tilly,Lotty, Isobel (any variation), anything with 'bel' or 'belle' in... any cutesy names

Worst:Imogen!!

What a bitchy thread, presumably the people on here hating all of these well known names are the ones that rave about such names as Deliliah and Jasper? (I have seen real posts!!)

I teach reception/Year 1, so find out what was trendy 4/5/6 years ago... At the moment there's quite a few Alfie's coming through...

As for names I just don't like, I HATE the boys name Bradley. I've NEVER taught a Bradley that was anything other than completely obnoxious (with a family from hell to boot usually!)

For girls names, I have a dislike of double-barrelled first names. The worst was Alisha-Keira, who just merged into something like Allie-shakira. Yuck.

I'm also not fond of girls names that end with the "ee" sound, like Sophie, Carly, Emily. To me they are twee and whiney sounding. BUT I'm a Sally, and it doesn't bother me for my own name, although I tend to go by just Sal these days.

Nathan, Alexander & Lauren...dull,dull,dull!!!!!!!

Freya,Greta and Celeste

Noah, Joshua and Harry

Oh no Diavlo, I have an Alexander and a Lauren, though I must admit I do find the name Lauren dull after 12 years! My mother hated it!

I CAN'T BELIEVE NO ONE HAS SAID.....GAYLORD

Deirdra

Awful, awful name.

I've probably failed my DD by giving her a name that's made several appearances on this thread. Jaedan (pronounced Jayden) is the middle child of 3, with both her brothers having relatively traditional British names. She tends to call herself Jae for short.

Welshmum I just read the USA top 20 list and Jayden is up there. Its very popular here.
Jae sounds good, like a modern Mae.

Names you find most in America like LeShawn, DeShawn....anything + Shawn including just plain "Shawn" frankly.

Actually "De" + anything is hideous all around IMO....

My my, we do have some sensitive little flowers here, don't we?

Like it or not, I can't abide the names Oliver or Ollie. One of the several I've met really put me off the name, he is obnoxious. I also don't like the trend for Jack/Harry/George/Charlie/Alfie though I love other traditional names like James and Matthew. I'll pass on Tyler, Connor, Callum, Kyle, Emily, Connie, Shannon and Rebekah too.

Far worse than any of these except Oliver are nicknames. What's the point of giving a child a name if you're then immediately going to call her something different?

MyShoofly I would be careful - those names you site are race specific in the USA

I have an Oliver and am pregnant with an Alfie. HATE Juliette. Prissy girly girls stuck up snob.

I am a Jane and I have a twin called Isobel!!!!
We have always hated Isabella and not just because everyone wrote her name like that. Always thought it was a prissy frilly name whereas Isobel was more...sturdy. Everyone we asked said they thought Isobel's are quite headstrong...which is exactly right!!!!

I don't really hate many names though I dislike several-my pet hate is my own name Valerie closely followed by my parents' second choice which was Gloria!!

I think Jane is quite elegant honestly, but some names I don't like:
Melly, Nelly, Beatrice, Pearl, Patty, Gladys, etc. Although you could take any name you don't like, find out that someone very lovely and kind has it, and then change the way you think about that name.

I have quite an extensive list!
I really dislike very common names, names spelt differently from the norm, and names that aren't really names.
My least favourite names are probably Chloe and Thomas. I don't like the sound of the name Chloe and I don't like the way Thomas looks on paper - I do like Tom.
