Which completely inoffensive names do you absolutely hate for no justifiable reason?

[MaryAstor]

I will start.

Francis.

Loathe it. Couldn't say why really. There are no bad connotations - it's neither 'chav' nor 'toff'. It's not made-up or too-trendy or old-fashioned. I couldn't say that the sound of it is awful. It doesn't remind me someone who bullied me at school. It's not even boring. I just fucking hate that name. Whenever I am introduced to a new baby called Francis, my reaction is always: "But why? For pity's sake, why? Out of all the possible names available, you chose Francis? You have some seriously terrible taste there, people." "Gosh, how lovely."

Same goes for Christopher. And Jenny.

Perfectly inoffensive names. Could give no good reason for my antipathy whatsoever.

[peachypips]

Harvey, Riley, Marley, Finley, those kind of names are very boring and of-the-now IMO.
And Ella. Every girl under five seems to be called it! So basically not keen on modern names I guess...

[Popumpkin]

Well, Alisvolat has managed to mention me, BOTH of my sisters and my DD in the first post!

Way to feel welcome on a thread .

Personally I also hate Christopher aswell as Pippa, Petra, Paula and James.

[NittyNuttyNoo]

Another vote for Amelia. Hate it. Also don't like Imogen nn Immy. Horrible!

[Popumpkin]

I've thought of more .

Olivia
Nina
Jessica
Imogen
Kyle

[SchnitzelVonKrumm]

Melissa . A friend of mine married a woman called Melody, which is even worse.

[vamosbebe]

I'm with SchnitzelVonKrumm on Melissa, makes my nostrils flair. But then two of the worst people I've ever met have been Melissaa. Awful awful awful.

Ryan - makes me want to throw up. For no valid reason, just the sound of it.
I have a friend with sons called Sam and Jack and I just think 'snoresville' although they are lovely boys and suit their name.

Luckily my name, DH's and DS's haven't been mentioned, hurrah!

[ChasedByBees]

Yay, me and DD are here!

Michael
Ellie

I know nice Michaels and Ellies but if I consider the names on their own, I just really don't like them.

[Hassled]

Boys' names which start with a K. Any of them.

[SrirachaGirl]

Madison.

Bernadette.

[Yika]

I reeeaally loathe Chloe, Charlotte and Grace. Chloe sounds like a disease, Charlotte sounds like a frilly gingham dress, and Grace is a horrible combination of twee and Victorian. Oh, that reminds me, can't stand Victoria either.

My name's been mentioned here but it must have been a mistake cos it's luvly.

[lljkk]

Joshua. Mind-numbingly inoffensive (boring).
Amelia makes my head hurt (tongue twister).

[TheOriginalSteamingNit]

Katie. Because dd is called Kate, not Katie, which I unreasonably view as a very different name, and loathe her being called it.

[InNeedOfBrandy]

I love Katie/Kate I really really really love it

What Katie did were my favourite books growing up.

[chickydoo]

Freddy... Ready Freddy go!! (Fweddy)
Ryan ( someone forgot the B)
Sebastian....Wet.....
Georgie ( pordgie)
Ellie (Smelly)
Beth (death)
Mia (fear)
Jan (spam)

Maxine....just hate it...
That's enough from me I think

[TheOriginalSteamingNit]

Am not keen on Bethany, at all.

[MooncupGoddess]

I hate boys' names ending in -a. Noah, Ezra, Luca, etc. It's just wrong.

And not a fan of many names with 'th' in: Nathan, Ethan, Dorothy.

Spellings are important too. Anne and Katherine: lovely. Ann and Catherine: horrid.

[CindySherman]

Ellen - of all the names to pick for a little baby girl you choose that.
Jayden Aiden Cayden Brayden Laydon you get the idea...

[HotHotNot]

Lucy. Sooooo inoffensive I don't even really hate it. Just get a sinking feeling of Mehness whenever I hear of one.

Only one of my kids mentioned so far. Two to go! One chavvy the other very "now". The fourth is too rare to likely crop up but you never know what someone irrationally hates I suppose.

[SchnitzelVonKrumm]

Catherine is fine. Katherine/Katharine/Kathryn are all heinous.

[WhiteHairReally]

Eric
Carol
Paul/a
Amber
Callum
Lydia
Morag
Lois
Matilda (but love Maud - ?)
not overfond of George
Tiffany
Bethany
Connie
Charles
Vic as in short for Victoria

I really have tried to follow the OP's instruction so these are truly random strong dislikes. As a teacher, I've come across a number of the above, either in the classroom or the staffroom - lovely people all, just don't like the names.

[TessOfTheBaublevilles]

Phoebe
Olivia
Jessica
Molly
Leah
Evie
Isabel et al
Poppy
Mia
Millie
Georgia
Ruby

Alfie
Patrick
Ethan
Caleb

[Quodlibet]

Ian
Neil
(whiny sounds)

[honeytea]

I dislike any name ending in son, Harrison, Jensen, also names that sound like a surname.

Kelly, Amy, Shelly, Kylie, Keeley, chav 80's names (my name is one of the above :( )

[TheOriginalSteamingNit]

Oh yes, don't like Amy. It's wet.
