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.

Gemma never met a nice one.
Matthew always naughty boys

I have met several Gemma/Jemma's, Sarah/Sara and Zoe's and most of them have been nasty bitches.

I try not to hold a name against a person but I do get nervous if they have ^ those names!

Lol, my name is on here and I am nice, honest!

I didn't meet a nice Jessica until I was 30. The earlier ones were all mean, narcissistic cows.
Helen, awful school bully and still a bitch now as had the misfortune to bump into her last year.
Greg, office sleaze.
Nigel, 2 both absolute creeps. (not that I'd have picked Nigel for DS even if I'd only met lovely ones).

Paula - nasty bully at primary school.

Gemma - horrible person through and through. I put her up in my house when she was broke/kicked out by her ex. She repaid me by trying to sleep with my then boyfriend and taking out credit in my name, stealing money from me and then putting all the utilities in my name before doing a runner. Hmm

Met 4 Amandas and they have all been cows.
5th Amanda I know of was the woman my long term BF cheated on me with (many moons ago) - ugh!
Harriets have always been spiteful, red haired and bitchy. Until this year, when my DD (5) little friend introduced me to her big sis Harriet (aged 10) who is a sweetheart - I can live with the name now Smile

pmTea · 30/11/2013 21:48

OMFG onelittlepiglet what an evil cow!

AnneElliott · 30/11/2013 21:49

My name has been mentioned a few times as well. I offer up Anne-Marie, dreadful bully who I used to work with.

Littlemissexpecting · 30/11/2013 21:53

I'm yet to meet a nice Victoria

MrsDoomsPatterson · 30/11/2013 21:57

Julia - nasty piece of work.

hawkmcqueen · 30/11/2013 22:13

Tina, was in her 20s when she bullied me for being a terrible waitress when I was 14. I will never forgive her. I was terrible but she stole a chunk of my confidence and self esteem. I won't let my children work part-time until they are 16.

And Gavin, you A hole.

picnicbasketcase · 30/11/2013 22:21

Charlie for a girl. I actually like it for a boy but couldn't use it because of the Charlie girl name hate.

If you're reading this: you may have had all the men fooled into thinking you were lovely but you are the most selfish, manipulative, tightfisted, spoilt, thoughtless bitch I've ever met. Ah, cathartic.

yellowsnownoteatwillyou · 30/11/2013 22:22

Hayley all 3 of them complete bullying arseholes.
Never met a nice Katie, but Katy's have always been fine
Eddie utter prick
Blonde haired Melissa's are awful dark haired ones are fine

WhispersOfWickedness · 30/11/2013 22:26

Emily for me. Such a shame as it should be the kind of name I like, but I have met 3 horrid ones! I'm sure there are some lovely ones somewhere, just wish they would introduce themselves to me Grin

autumnsmum · 02/12/2013 20:25

Karen and Richard school bully and cheating ex

womma · 04/12/2013 23:28

My names is on here a few times...I'm obviously the exception!

Never met a nice Amanda, the name itself makes me shudder. Same goes for Sandra as well. And Octavia, the most passive aggressive, cold spiteful cow bag I've ever had the misfortune to know.

DownstairsMixUp · 04/12/2013 23:35

Annmarie (she bullied me) and Tracey (she makes stuff up about people who don't do things her way to make their lives shite) lucky they are both poo names really! (imo obviously)

Onesleeptillwembley · 04/12/2013 23:40

I've never encountered an Angela I would trust as far as I could spit.
Martin had a sinus problem - self explanatory.
Hayley - as above, devious, evil duplicitous bitch.
