what lovely names have been spoilt forever?

[mumnosGOLDisbest]

I've finished with 3 dcs so this is hypothetical for me. i've just been reading a book about a girl called Dora and genuinely thought what a lovely name... untill a little cartoon popped into my head singing 'find the map'.

what other lovely names have been spoilt for you?

I always liked the name Christian but no-doubt all the little Christian Gray fantasy sex babies will start emerging and it'll be completely ruined.

Cain/Kain or Judas....sorry, but shudder, shudder, shudder

What's wrong with Jade? I'm not keen on the name but can't think of anything terrible associated with it?

Apart from the girl from big brother that died, which is sad but not comparable to Adolf and Myra.
Am I missing something?

Ive always thought of the name "jade" as quite beautiful, first heard it in the 80's film "Endless love", Brooke shield's played "jade", always romanticized the name since then.

It was terribly sad that Jade Goody died, that is not the issue. The issue is that she was, in her lifetime, an unpleasant person.

I liked Jade Goody :)

fair enough - we would all be dull if we liked/disliked the same people!

Very diplomatic Martha

Well if I had a daughter I dreamed of calling her Princess Tiaamii Crystal Esther, but then Jordan went and used it. Damn! It's SUCH a lovely name

My DB and DSil have two kids called Bella and Edward. I'm pretty sure they did it unknowingly as they're mid-30s and I can't see either of reading or watching the Twilight books/films, but what a strange coincidence.

Ellie, Jake, Millie and Bonnie, simply because I've known dogs with the names!

Also, Sarah, because I've never met a nice one. Sorry to any nice Sarahs.

I worked with an Adolf (German of course), born around 1950. What the holy Fuck were his parents thinking?

(Adolf) German of course...

Why, as the Hitler Adolf was Austrian

Oh and yes, that name is spoiled as hundred of thousands of Germans, don't know about Austrians, have changed their name or their children's names after the war.
Also, that name is on German birth records almost non-existent...for reasons most could surely imagine why

He was Austrian but he and his name are certainly mostly associated with Germany. For obvious reasons.

Yep

I didn't say the "original" Adolf was German, but perhaps you've heard of Nazi Germany?

Although tbh it wouldn't surprise me.

Lol Dolomites you are funny

I think there is no need for me to answer the question, right?!

I know a brother n sister ben and holly, always want to ask where nanny plum is

Maybe we shouldnt worry about associations with names. There are a few on here that i needed explaining as the reasons hadnt crossed my mind.

Still couldnt use the lovely name Dora though :)

I have a Dora so ner

I love Dora, womma. Beautiful name.

I have an Ethan. He hugs other children who hit him.

I've not spent an hour in my friends little boy, called William, company without him whacking at least one person

Thank you Ham xxx

Dora is a gorgeous, pretty yet strong name. It does, however make me think of Dora the explorer so I couldn't use it.

I also couldn't use Lola as the Kinks song would be playing in my head (and I have to stop myself humming it when around my friend's little girl called Lola).

Similarly, Myra - but I think it won't be a 'bad' name for much longer, I'm sure one more generation and the reputation will have gone.

I love Eve but as others have said, it's become very popular (not 'common' as i don't think it's 'chavvy', just it's a '4 in the class')

I do think Imogen has been rather ruined by slutty BB contestant, I really want her to disappear now so I can get pregnant again soon and then hopefully we'll have all forgotten her in 9 months time.

For the boys, Dwayne or Wayne. You just couldn't.

Callum makes me think of Callum Best - no one wants their little boy to grow up to be Callum Best.

Oh and Willow is ruined because of the film. (But that might be more DH doing crap impressions from the film...)

I have an Alexander, if i had a £ for every time i've been asked 'like on peppa pig?' as though its an odd name. I half wished I'd pushed for my first choice.
