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.

Well I'm on here several times :) as is dd2 my brother and even my rabbit made it in here :o

Well my names on here
But with an apology so I'll let you off
DD has made it through!! Although I need to thank DP for that, my choice has been named and shamed

Oh and I dislike
Girls - Sharon
Boys - Nigel

I think regional or national accent has a lot to do with it- e.g. Georgette in a french accent.

Some accents kill names

Kettle of fish officially opened...

My name is on here quite a bit (Rebecca) as is my younger daughter (Jessica)

Older daughter safe so far and yet she's the one with the most commonly condemned name , both in real life and on here. Weird.

Romeo with an Italian accent? Fabulous.

Romeo with pretty much any British accent...no.

I personally don't like names that end with the 'e' sound. My ex was a chav called Danny, he had a sister called vicky and a brother called mikey. So it was danneeee, vickeeeee, mikeeeee. He called his children bobbeeeeeee and rosieeeee.
When I found out I was pregnant I was determined to not do the same. The name had to have a definite end to it - so Benjamin / Ben, Alex etc. I've now decided on Joshua / josh.

It wasn't so much the eee sound that irritated me, it was more the way he yelled it out in public. It was so embarrassing. I couldn't have him to the same with our ds.

My mum made it on here, as did my middle name and my DHs middle name my DS name isn't though, yippee!

I hate the Jayden, raiden, Hayden and all other variations of that damn name. Ugh.

I actually saw someone had called their child princess chardennay (her spelling, not mine) which I think is tantamount to child abuse.

Chantelle
Chardonnay
Double barrelled names (Olivia-rose etc, no need!)
Rhys
Tony
Mandy/Amanda
Charley/Charlie
Charles (hate this name with a passion!!!)
Louisa
Crystal
Cheryl
Geri
Gertrude

I think I could sit here all night, I've just realised what a truly fussy and snobby bitch I really am

I was going to say my own name but I see it and its variations have already been mentioned at least four times. Hate it for no reason whatsoever and still thinking about changing it officially even though I'm in my mid forties.

Ethan

Most surnamey names, and names like Madison, Peyton..
Names like Mischa and Nikita (yyy) misused as girls' names.

I think Vince is an amazing name for a baby!

I dislike:
Moira
Roz
Lynn
Phil
Andrew

Thought I'd escaped. But no!

Harley
Bailey
Barclay
Oakley...

Wtf next? Sainsbury?

Also, 2for1 names like Sammy-Jo, Sarah-Louise, Ellie-May etc.

Geraldine. It was the name of my dear, sadly deceased, Aunt and she was a lovely lady. Highly irrational.

Caleb- it sounds like Table to me. Just a pointless sound.

I have a new one .

Heard today being shouted across the playground: "Boden! Boden!".

NOT kidding. To be fair, we're not in the UK, so not the same association here for most, but it still made me giggle...I had to pretend that i was coughing into my mittens.

Actually, I don't know if it could be classed as an entirely inoffensive name...

I remember somebody starting a thread on here once about the name Beaudon - maybe it's them...?

They inevitably got the piss ripped by everyone saying it sounded like Boden.

I'm not sure which is worse .

DSs name is here now and DPs and my 3 cats and dog

My name isn't though [smug]

Boden is a town in Sweden (random)

For no good reason, I hate any girls name which has I double-letter-then-an-e which is not needed for pronunciation.

Isabel - nice; Isabelle - horrible
Vivien - nice; Vivienne - horrible
Juliet - nice; Juliette - horrible

(Obviously, this does not apply to e.g. Danielle or Gabrielle)

This is just a prejudice, but I always think it's weird that I love Vivien and Juliet, but hate Vivienne and Juliette.

Boden is ground in German.

Getting tired of cutesy names - Lilly, Milly, Ellie, Poppy, Archie, Alfie, Artie, Bertie, Freddie etc.

I had a really funny conversation with an American yesterday - she said her name was Barbie!! I said "Barbie like the doll" and she said no "Barbie - and spelt it B o b b i e" - so much for the difference between British and American accents; .

Thought of.another name I hate for no reason - Toby. Yuk.
