What it says in the title really.

I went to school with a Julie who was pretty nasty and has put me off the name forever more.

John- abusive dad and ex
Eloise- my dfs mum quite possibly the most vile disgusting human I have ever met (also met some lovely ones she just colours the name for me)

Another Susan here! Grin
And another Anne-Marie.

And a couple of distinctive names that will out me! Evil witches, all of them. (apologies to any witches reading)

Jennifer. She was a cow. Husband was going to be a Jennifer if he was a girl and so wants to call our daughter it (if we ever have one) but I have had to veto.

I'm screwed. I've been a teacher for over 10 years and have taught over 600 children. There are very few names left that don't leave negative connotations.
Never taught a nice child called Charlie (girl or boy) and never taught a well behaved Jack.

SconeForAStroll · 29/11/2013 20:25

Another Susan.

I do know a really nice one as well, but the horrid one was so awful it has made me flinch to even think it. :(

Not terribly keen on Louise either.

Alisvolatpropiis · 29/11/2013 20:31

Victoria - I've yet to meet one who isn't kind if a knob. Unfortunate, as I'm sure there must be loads of lovely ones!
Katie - as above
Kyle - met just the one, he was a hateful bully. Was in prison for blinding a policeman before he was 20.

Try being a teacher!!!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/11/2013 20:34

I'm a teacher - few, if any, names have negative connotations for me through work, though.

BabyMummy29 · 29/11/2013 20:36

I associate names with horrible kids I have taught, so at the moment Joshua is a clear winner as we have 2 awful ones in school
