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!

Katie and James both common and the names of utter ass clowns.

Humbert

Hilda

Nigel

Dave (pronounce: Daive)

Pierce and Biff qualify as well.

But Gaylord...! Poor child, but brilliant name. Something to live up (or down).

Likewise, Marmaduke and Peregrine!

ZOMBIE !!!!

chlo13 you're re-animating zombie threads!

Girls. Lily-Mae. I recall this mother saying it over and over again. Lily-Mae, this Lily-Mae. Lily-Mae That. Using the name at the start and end of every sentence. It was roasting hot day. I was on a very heavy period accumulation of which makes me a right bitch. I felt like screaming. "Alright you fucking soft twat. We get the point. You like the name Lily-Mae. Just the way she was pronouncing it L,ller Mae. Lily with out the first i being said. If that makes sense
For boys, Charlie. I'm tripping over them

Sidney/Sydney. Actually makes me feel a bit queasy. Sorry if you've got one.

My DH and DD1's names have both been mentioned once each - my own has come up twice as a 'good' name so I'm quite chuffed! DD2 and both DS's names yet to make an appearance...

One thing I don't like is when a name ends with an 'a' sound and the surname starts with a vowel, so everyone inserts an 'r' in between when saying the full name. e.g. Anna Evans becomes AnnaREvans. Luckily my surname starts with a consonant so I escaped that particular issue!

Dominic. Every Dominic I have ever known has been evil.

Jayden, Kayden, Riley, Levi, chase.

Anything which is - Mae (eg Olivia- Mae), chenise, Shannon...

I don't like Amelia. To me it is a medical term. It means 'absence of limbs'.

Connor I just irrationally loathe it. Made worse by people often mistaking ds's name for Connor (he is Conrad) GRRRR oh and never met a Connor who was not rude and lacking manners.

Dislike Kim to as a boysname however that is due to childhood issues.

I don't like Dylan any more. Pronounced the correct Welsh way I love it - Dull-ann - but even in Wales nobody pronounces it correctly any more. It's always Dillon. I make a point of pronouncing it correctly just to let people know how it's meant to be pronounced.

I also don't like names starting with J. I knew a family once who named their 5 children with J names. Their surname started with Ch to make it worse.

Fake Oirish names:
Teaghan
Keaghan
Meghan (the GH combo makes it Irish allegedly...)
Loghann
Brianna
Kasey/Casey

Shannon
Erin
Colleen

Also:
Riley/Ryleigh/Rylee
Chase

Hunter
Kenzie/McKenzie/Makenzie
McKenna/M'Kenna
Addison/Addisyn
Madison/Maddison/Maddisyn
Kayley
Payton
Laken
Daken
Deacon
Greyson
Scarlett
Scout

Probably a lot more.

I will judge parents if a child has a name spelt idiotically. Adding in random vowels or writing a name phonetically does not make the name original. It just makes a name seem stupid. Poor kids!

Names after fruit also make me irrationally angry. "Cherry" or "Clementine", etc. Why not just call your child "Pineapple" and be done with it?

Aside from that, there are names I like much more than others, but nothing that I actively hate. Probably.

Simon. Every Simon i've met was an asshole

I dislike David or Dave.

Dislike anything ending in -leigh for a girl.

I don't like the name Keith.

I don't like the name Keith....it reminds me of corned beef?!

Elle pronounced 'Ellie' and Jaime pronounced 'Jamie'. And anything with Americanised spelling, i.e, Madysyn, Kynadi, Kady, Britney.

Anything ending in "Bert"-Herbert, Albert etc .
Kayleigh, Kylie
The Granny names I think are a bit ugly like Gertie, Ethel, Mildred.

Met a little boy called Grayson once. Absolutely loathe the name, could barely stand to hear him called that!

Clare
Jayden
Keidon

Can't stand Louise. No idea why! And whilst I don't hate it, I can't understand why Sarah is so popular. I've always thought it a plain, boring name.
