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!

Anything beginning in K, it's an ugly letter shape to me, compared to C

I agree about the -ie ending names. To me they feel like they will eventually impose a babyish name on an adult.

Also Mia, it means "mine", which I think is a terrible label for a person.

Shoobidooh - Niamh and Siobahn are not English names but I imagine their spelling makes sense in the languages they evolved from. We take our understanding of how to pronounce them from those languages. Navaeh is just an English word spelt backwards and therefore it has no history or cultural root to help understand how to pronounce it.

Archie, I just really don't like it. Also Felicity and Morgan.

Gertrude
Bernardette
Geraldine
Horace

Fleur. First bully I ever encountered.

And it rhymes with Bleurgh

Nathan and Reece for boys
Maddison and Teagan for girls

Duane
Shane
Wayne
Kane

Janine
Jeanette
Michelle

Boring, middle of the road, unattractive names.

Agree about the cuteness thing.
Lexie/Lexy
HATE posh boys' names- Otto, Arlo, Sholto, Hugo. People are calling their sons Ptolemy. I just don't get it.

Disclaimer- I love many of the names on this thread, and know many people hate my DCs name.

The cutesty 'ie' names already mentioned.
White girls called Ebony. I don't get it.
I also have an irrational hatred of Hugo & Iago...no idea why but just seeing them written down makes annoyed.

Lexi is my least favorite girls name.

Kevin, I know of a baby Kevin! It's terrible, isn't it!?

Lucy, Stanley, Heather, Alfie

I will not be surprised if both my DCs names end up on here!

Oh yes Lexie today. It seems that one is hated loads.

Aieesha. Godawful. (Aieeeehshah, with a Boycie nasal twang)
I also hate Fiona. Actualy I think it's a nice name, but there were two awful Fiona's at my school and I can't get past that.

As well NOT today

MY name is on this thread .

Samantha. Sarah. Claire. Joanne. The names that were most popular when I was growing up in the 80's now seem the most boring & pedestrian to me.

I've always disliked Hannah for some reason. No idea why.

Hate any boys names which are shortened in the Archie/Alfie style. Alfie might be short for Alfred, but are any of the Archies really called Archibald? I doubt it. I can just about cope with a Theo who is not short for Theodore but that's about it. James is a much nicer name than Jamie (and I prefer Jim as a nn anyway).

Oh and Buddy Bear, what Jamie Oliver called his son - worst name ever.

Jane on the other hand is a GREAT name.

Mine is on here too

My nn is evidentially hated lots then. Oh well I'm the original and best.

I hate names like Teagan and cutesy girls hyphenated names that are spelt wrong for eg daysee-mai and elly-Mae etc.

Oh, my middle name is too!

The shame!

Brandon and Tyler (dislike the sound, and have never met a nice one) and anything cutesy or abbreviated - Alfie, Tommy, Tilly, Ellie etc. Agree with virtually everyone else about Lexie (although I do know a lovely one).

Kai, Kyle, kayden (bleurgh bleurgh bleurgh) in fact k names as a rule.

My name's on here too but I'm not fussed about that. DD's isn't yet though.

I love Sholto.

I think I have a weakness for pretentious posh-boys' names though. I also rather love:

Hugo
Benedict
Inigo
Cosmo
Corin
Lysander
Elias
Zander

Jayden/Hayden/Kayden etc can't stand them

Maddison

Of course, my DCs are named fantastic names that no one could possibly dislike

I am relieved not to see my DS's name on here yet. I don't like Gary. Don't know why.
