Worst 2 names you've EVER heard?

[mummyjanine]

One boys name & one girls name that just makes you cringe!!

Mine:
Girl - Girtrude
Boy - Gaylord

[ZingSweetApple]

mummy

Kal - like Carl

El - same is beginning of elephant

[oohdaddypig]

In fairness aren't these threads relatively light hearted?

It's no different to asking opinions on a specified name. It's just a personal opinion - it does not make it fact. I'm not that interested in baby names and if I was sensitive about it I wouldn't read the thread.

What is wrong with gaylord anyway?

[SPsMrLoverManSHABBA]

My sons name. I hate it, its so shite. Worse name ever.

Well must be as it appears here often.

It begins with the dreaded K.

People.could call their children ShitStain-TibbyLane* for all I care. I couldn't give a less of a fuckle about what other people name their children.

*Feel free to use it.

DSs name is sometimes called pretentious. The shortened version (which we call him) is a dog name.

I think I did pretty well to fail on two distinct areas of name hatred

[Jemimapuddlemuck]

My DS has a name that's (gasp) popular - the most popular in fact - a cardinal sin on MN.

[Theonlyoneiknow]

Our DS probably have the same name shabba

[LunchLadyWannabe]

Boy - Drazen

Girl - Alice

[SPsMrLoverManSHABBA]

TheOnly I am intrigued to know. I don't think they will but will be surprised if they do

[Theonlyoneiknow]

It's Kyle, was brought up on the last "worst baby names" thread and definitely seems to be on the mumsnet never call your child this list

But we love it and he really suits in. I don't know any other little boys with the same name but going by lots of posts on baby names there are hundreds of them running around causing mayhem and throwing things at teachers

[PiggyPlumPie]

DD2 has a K name that is also a nickname. Two strikes for me!

DS name doesn't sound good when screeched by Bianca on Eastenders but suits him down to the ground.

[LunchLadyWannabe]

Im a fan of the name kyle, its not over used.

I thought the name was going to be Kayden

[SPsMrLoverManSHABBA]

Not Kyle, I have Kyles in my family though. My sons name was on that list too!

[MoominsYonisAreScary]

Ds1 has a naughty boy name

Ds2 has an american actors name (2 in lost boys)

Ds3 has a nickname on his birth certificate and name has gone up in popularity due to eastenders stolen baby story line.

Ds4 has the name of the wolf in twilight
Ds5 is called joseph

[LightsPlease]

What is wrong with the name kyle. Perfectly normal name.

[RobinSparkles]

I like Kyle. I have a DN called Kyle, although one day he said to me: "why do you call me Kyle? All my friends call me ky-ul!"
Erm...

[LilBlondePessimist]

These threads are disgusting and goady, and created only to hurt and sneer at people. And it's CHILDREN who are being discussed. For fuck's sake.

[Lancelottie]

I'm intrigued, Waiting! Do you have a Monty, Toby or (P)Tolly? Or is your son called something like Rover Barksworth the Third?

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Whilst I see your point, it isn't children being discussed, it's names. Names belong to adults too. Some names mentioned are not exactly in common use at any rate.

It interests me how a name can effect how you are perceived etc

I do find it tiresome when people trot out the same names all the time. Certainly some of these names are not my style but...Jaden (for example) just isn't the worst name one could possibly have. It just isn't. It's easy to say and spell, people are familiar with it. There's no "WTAF is that actually even a real word never mind a name" thoughts when the name is said aloud.

[chandlery]

My friends boss had two children, Hera and Zeus!

Bleh.

[mummyjanine]

Just thought I'd also say, I didn't make this thread for people to involve children or even baby names. I was just curious to see what names people didn't like, and I was pointing more towards old names that aren't very much heard of these days, and very rarely used as children's names. I was not trying to upset people for any reason whatsoever, I would simply delete this thread if I could! Didn't expect to get so much grief, and also.. I have an aunt called
Gertrude who hates her name, it's not like I was pointing out random names to offend people. This is just stupid, how do I delete this thread??

[Ilovekittyelise]

i love how many people claim to be affronted by these threads, yet contribute anyway!!!

controversial comment here im afraid, but i genuinely believe that whilst making us all guilty of being nasty cow bags, some of the threads here do spare some poor souls a lifetime of torment over truly diabolical names!

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Gwan then, Ilovekittyelise, point me to a poster who has claimed to be affronted by these threads, yet contributed anyway.

My speed readign may be failing me.

[TheFabulousIdiot]

M granny was called Gertrude I love it

Just looked at the website for my local school and there's a pupil called Barbie.
