Names that make your toes curl!

[Mrsknackered]

Esmeralda
Rosamund/Rosalind/Roseanna
Celeste

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

Tiara

Never really minded anyone's names but I know someone who called her daughter 'Rosabelle' which was just too sickeningly sweet. I always think you should think how much shit the child is going to face at school by your unwise choice.

That's a good point Morning DS has a surname as a first name but it doesn't have a 'son' ending

Ooh the comment about dogs name has reminded me that I hate Tabitha - it's a cat's name to me. Have never met one but it's always mentioned on baby names threads.
Felix is the same because of the adverts.

Any car names. Porsche, Mercedes, Sierra. I know they have other meanings but they just make me cringe.

Not fond of "new country" names Paige, Sage etc

Surnames as forenames

Names ending in "a" sounds - Ella, Noah, Eva

Stupid spellings of names. People sometimes ask me the spelling of mine and I am always vaguely insulted that they think I would have " that" spelling.

When my ds was in hospital the little girl we could see through the window in her HUGE lace dress was called Gloria - Victoria. . I had no words. .

This will probably out me but Mia- Belle.

I mean, really?

Can't believe I forgot Olivia.
I have no problem with surname as forename names however cannot believe that Jackson is widely used with all the connotations of Michael.

Names ending with -y
Hyphenated names
Hipster parent names "Wolf, Firesunbird, Lilytempestcloud"
Silly spellings
Using names indicative of indigenous groups when you have no affiliation to them whatsoever

I've never met a nice Olivia either so they can go on my shitlist.

Seth
Rupert
Jay
Hayden
Jacob

Judith
Carla
Sharon

My husband visibly shudders at Alfie and Archie.

I also hate the popular 80's names of Darren, Lee and Jason

Imogen

No good reason, just haaaaate it!

Duncan and Brendan make me feel a bit nauseous.

I don't like hyphenated names either- too twee. And I really didn't want to choose a name that ends in "ee" sound: Evie/Emily/daisy/Archie/Alfie.... too cute. But that's just personal preference. I like stronger sounding names. Good job everyone has different tastes otherwise wouldn't the world be boring!

Also know someone with a Nevaeh.... because it's heaven spelt backwards..... OK

Haha Troll all of my kids names end in Y

And I never met a Chantal/Chantelle/Shantell/whatever who wasn't a nightmare.

Amazed so many hate phoebe, i think it's lovely! Might stop reading before one of my children's names are mentioned as being awful 😬

My son's name is on here and not offended at all.
Names I dislike are:
Gavin
Kevin
Keith
Darren
Steven
Matt
Peter
Neville
Judy
Jane

I'm feeling sorry for DS1 whose name is Archive. Who would have thought it would end up being so unpopular. At least no one's mentioned DS2s name Microfiche.

I'm very offended that people keep mentioning Jacob- It's a good solid biblical name fgs.

And broadening it out, people who give all their kids the same initial need a good shake, too.

Dwayne
Dwight
Cedric
Caleb

And for girls...Ailsa really gets on my wick for some reason.

Wow only one out of my six has been mentioned and only once! Phew I hate abcde (absody)

I didn't realise Jacob was so widely disliked! If dd4 had been a boy it was on my (very short) shortlist. Good thing she was a she then
