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!

Haha my dds name is a nickname. on the BC too. Ooooh.

I hate
Bailey
Jamie
Tim
Eugibe

all wet.

Eugine. even.

I quite like the letter u.

It looks like it might rock from side to side in a satisfying manner.

In all seriousness though, how can anyone possibly hate a name?

What other things do the haterz hate? Please do tell; I'm interested. Not to mention bemused and a bit worried.

Eugene, even.

Layla/Leila. Or Alexandra. maybe it's just the end sound - drah, La.

Bailey for boys

I've never met a nice Lydia, they always seem to be really bitchy and self-centred. Ugh I hate that name now!

Agatha, Persephone, all the Milly-Tilly-Silly names around at the moment, Heather (cos I knew a horrible one), Maude (sounds like mud)
Bernard, Ptolemy, Cosmo, Sholto, Kaiden/Jayden/Kian/Coby/Tyler, Henry & Archie (tho bizarrely i LOVE Alfie!)

Any name that should belong to a cow/cat/dog.

Wet names like Cuthbert and Percy.

Cuntybollocksface. Terrible name for a little girl. Heard it being shouted the other day in soft play. The toddler's ears were pierced and everything.

Quite liked her older sister's name though - Jane. Come to think of it, they go really well together.

'Hating' a name is perhaps a little strong. I agree. However, there are some names that are used SO widely that they lose some of their loveliness and identification purpose imo.

For me, those names include a lot of the cutesy names - Milly, Lily, Molly, Tilly, Emmie, Poppy and for boys Archie, Alfie, Finn, Oliver/Ollie and Jack. They are just everywhere!

On the other hand, less common names e.g. Lydia, Persephone, Courtney, Rupert or Cosmo are at least still useful as a 'name' and whether one likes the name is probably very dependant on whether you've met a nice or awful person with that name.

What does 'wet' mean, winkle? Is it good or bad? And is the name or the person who is 'wet'?

Wet as in drippy and annoying. That's what I think of when I hear those names. Sorry.

You don't need to apologise, winkle, I just didn't know what 'wet' means. So those names are drippy and annoying or the people you've met with those names?

It's the names I think are drippy and annoying.

I've just been reading about Usher's stalker so can I offer you 'Darshelle', yes, seriously, 'Darshelle'...

All my 3 doc's names are on here! Must be doing something right...

All 3 of my dc, my dh, my dsis and my dmum are on this thread.

Only me and my dad to go. C'mon good people of mumsnet, don't let me down, let's go for a clean sheet ...

Shit thread btw.

India

Any name that the spelling is 'yooneek.'

The Jayden/Tayden/Wayden etc etc type names.

When the abbreviation of a name is the Christian name. Like Charlie instead of Charlotte etc.

NeitherRhymeNorReason
Alice ... DH suggested it if we had a Dd. seriously ... Alice???? I'd rather her be called Mildred.....at least it has something about it.

An excellent choice my dear

Like PPs not keen on the cutsey names that are fine as nn but should never be given names. Also bad spelling, my favourite hated name is 'Abbey-Gale'. At least look up how to spell a name if you want to use it. Actually , that probably makes my real most hated name 'Rachael', it should only have one 'a' in it!!!!

whatever idiot said they hate kayleigh as it is a made up name/spelling...its an irish name...there is a tradition of names outside england you know...ps shift button not working!

I think lots of people dislike K names because they are (shush) common.

My first name begins with a K - Kirsty. I am such a khav.
