No reason they just make me feel funny!
Lighthearted- no offence meant.

What a lovely thread this is.
Just what an expectant/new mum is looking for when searching for ideas for their baby.

Bingo - found them both! DS's name is boring and DD's is twee. Hurrah! Good to know.

This is not a nice thread OP.

MrsChopper · 27/02/2017 14:58

DS's name has been mentioned a few times on this thread and I could not care less. It suits him perfectly! Smile

Personally I can't think of any names that make my toes curl. Each to their own and all that jazz.

It's taste though isn't it. Everyone's taste is different.

Bondo

Classic names but they don't do it for me.

SaltySalt · 27/02/2017 16:21

None of my three sons names have been mentioned (preen) or dp,s but mine has but a different spelling. And I love the names Ashley Alexandria Sam Michael Peter Johnny and Emmett. Ooh and I love Ira! Not saying which names I dislike because i don't want to.

SaltySalt · 27/02/2017 16:23

derxa is it weird that I like Bondo?

Upyourdaisy · 27/02/2017 16:32

Dd1's name is hyphenated. Not one I've heard too often though, which is Lilly-marie

ymmv · 27/02/2017 16:43

I've been looking through this thread for inspiration. Grin

Salty Each to their own Grin

Jayden, Kayden, Jaxon, Harrison, Riley, Cooper, actually most names that are also surnames I'm afraid! Bailey, Oakley. For some reason I can only think of boy's names!

inappropriateraspberry · 27/02/2017 17:05

Tbh I much prefer the traditional names. Also don't like Lee/Leigh for a boy or girl - same with Ashley/Ashleigh.

MollyHuaCha · 27/02/2017 17:40

Poor Kaydens... they are really getting a bashing on this thread. Shock

LobsterQuadrille · 27/02/2017 17:51

The name I've always wanted to know is the narrator of Rebecca. Her name is described as "lovely and unusual" by Max. I suspect that many on this thread would disagree 😀

kel1234 · 27/02/2017 18:26

I keep saying it, but still so much dislike of hyphenated names

Ponderingprivately · 27/02/2017 18:30

Amelia. I don't know why I just hate it. I am clearly in a tiny minority as it's mega popular but i hate it. Also feel the same about Evelyn.

Lemondrop09 · 27/02/2017 18:33

Edgar
Nigel
Igor
Norman
Boris

Gertrude
Ethel
Phylis
Gladys
Agatha

May these names never have a come back!

HollywoodStunt · 27/02/2017 18:33

Not very sure to post on this thread but names got no interest in are

Scott, Josh, Luca/s, Luke, Rory, Sebastian, Lola, Yvonne and I once knew a girl called Pocka Hmm

Just my irrelevant opinion, can't all like the same thing

stuckinthehouse · 27/02/2017 18:33

There are some really popular names that I feel this way about so I'm sure to offend some but here goes:

Jessica
Isabella
Nina
Callum
Dylan
Ralph

sonlypuppyfat · 27/02/2017 18:38

Debbie just fucking Debbie, never mind it's the nickname for my name but I loath it. It's just silly.

dippyeggsfortea · 27/02/2017 18:40

Ah all my 3 DCs GrinGrin they're all on here!

theresamustgo · 27/02/2017 18:51

Alec. I don't know why. I don't like Alex for a boy either, which is odd because I like words with X usually. Also Alan gets my nose wrinkling.

Gummibears · 27/02/2017 18:54

I really dislike Alfie and Archie!

Owlish · 27/02/2017 19:01

My cousin has a grandson called Kamron. It's chavvy, but then, so is my cousin . Plus my autocorrect thinks it's wrong, too.
