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.

I'm not doing well on here!

Felicity will always be the horrible girl up the road who put my sister's new doll in the dustbin.

Gregory, partially blinded me in one eye whilst at primary school.
Patrick, tried to choke me during a psychotic episode .
Rebecca, tried her darndest to steal my husband! Luckily he was completely unaware of what she was attempting and so it was a short lived effort.

I really liked the name Toby but taught one who was whingy and attention-seeking and it put me off. Several other names from teaching I'm not so keen on!

From my own past - Natasha and Marianne. Although I may be getting over it because I am beginning to like Marianne.... (I think Jane Austen is winning over personal experience!)

Lisa, major bully, nasty.

Andrew, both creepy!

Tim- biggest GIT I ever met was called that-a vile abusive sexually incontinent RMN. Biggest Git most other people met too. Have met several obnoxious Tims sadly.

Tracey -Met one called that who is an absolute deceitful, lying, snide bitch. Has thoroughly warped my perception of this name.

MeMySonAndI · 30/11/2013 00:27

Every Emma I have met has been invariable a problem: first one was a shouty fly of the handle manager, second one was a racist ignorant bigot, third one is nicer but likes to keep her distance.

I realise however, it is not the name, I just seem to meet the wrong Emmas.

Like every other teacher, I have a list of no-go names! it is a nightmare when trying to pick names for own children.....
For me...
Never ever taught an intelligent Chloe (Khloe or once in fact Kloe!!) - all been beautiful airheads
Connor and Charlie always badly behaved
All Ryans are arrogant and big headed
Benjamin brings back hideous nightmare of two children who threw chairs around the classroom shouting and swearing until they were expelled
Charlotte always lovely bright intelligent sweeties!!

Have taught a Tarzan (small little child!), River (surname Madien,) built like a prop forward and twins named Ronnie and Reggie (surname ....you've guessed it!!!) why do people do it???

BuntyPenfold · 30/11/2013 03:39

Sharron , the double R is important.
The laziest, dirtiest, lying two faced....I'm so sorry for the patients in the nursing home.
