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.

Lorraine. I think out of the four in my year at school two of them were bullies and made my time at secondary school hell.

Has anyone said Margaret, David, Nick and Boris?

It's a shame, actually, because I think Margaret and Nicholas are lovely, underused names......

Get fucked Kim. I hate you.

I introduced myself to someone a while back and as soon as I said my name he went 'oh dear' quite seriously and said that he'd never met a nice one of anyone with my name. I felt a bit Hmm about that on behalf of my namesakes and me, so now I try to not be influenced by bad connotations with names.

My name is quite common (cited on this list) and I have the opposite phenomenon which is expecting to really like anyone I share my name with- so I always get on great with them. Grin We are all lovely!

Alisvolatpropiis · 30/11/2013 16:53

My name has been mentioned. No explanation why but I can be a bit of a cow Grin

Jaskla · 30/11/2013 17:22

Kerry, Vicky, Sophie and Rosemary for me.

Quite sad that my name has been mentioned twice as all the others I know are lovely.

Hessy · 30/11/2013 17:26

Never met an Anna that I've liked.

scottishmummy · 30/11/2013 17:36

There's always a Bernard in Richard curtis movies,who's a tool
Apparently Curtis disliked a Bernard, and as a revenge features Bernard as derision figure

somewheresomehow · 30/11/2013 17:43

Bumpsadaisie · 30/11/2013 18:08

HairyPotter · 30/11/2013 18:16
