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.

Oh and Karen (shudder)

MonsterMunchMe · 05/12/2013 00:15

Ohhhh and Harriet

I'll stop now Blush

Agree with Karen. One of the most satisfying things I've ever done is tell a particularly horrid one to go fuck herself. Still makes me smile, and it was years ago!

Maxine was a right little bitch and Ellen was full of herself.

Elaine and it's my bloody middle name. Totally shallow reasons to do with appearance and personal hygiene and lack of personality of a girl at school.

Rhiannon.
Both of them.

I'm on here... more than once... Xmas Sad

Shall try to balance up the weighting with my own offerings;

Kerry/Ceri (both spellings, in different ways)
Jamie
Debbie

SignoraStronza · 05/12/2013 17:46

Sophie
Hannah
Kelly
Jeremy
Posh twats that shorten their name to one letter (i.e. Henrietta to 'Aitch', Charles to 'C', Tobias to 'T').
Anyone with a double barrelled surname has always seemed particularly up themselves (Sophie) but perhaps that is because I was the only state comp girl in a polo, Fox hunting and private school oriented village!

Sadie was a nasty stirrer.
So was Jodie

As a teacher, your views of names are changed by the experiences you've had to a certain extent....hence why both my children have names which I've never taught a child with. So no reference points!

I do recall names I associate with gits,and I know it's puerile to hold gripe
But aye if I. Honest certain names tainted for me by association

Hayley!! And that's what my mum wanted to call me!

Privilegeismine · 07/12/2013 16:34

Millie. 2 of them have bullied my girls at some point throughout school.

jezzasjockstrap · 07/12/2013 19:45

Another vote for Hayley. Have known two and both complete airheads.
