Names that make your toes curl!

Esmeralda
Rosamund/Rosalind/Roseanna
Celeste

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

Malcolm, Colin and Trevor.

I have a hyphenated name and a very lovely niece called Darcy. My own DD's name hasn't appeared yet but I'd be quite happy if it did

Came back to say yes MumBod!! I really don't get the same initial thing

Three out of four of my kids names have been mentioned on this thread ! Funnily enough the only one that hasn't been mentioned is the one that over the years I have considered might be a slightly chavy name !!!

Whiskey, I am in Scotland and names ending in 'y' can sound a bit rough in our accent ifyswim.

In England you have a soft 'ay' whereas up here it's a hard 'ie'

Mine too WhiskeySourpuss

All 5 end in the 'ee' sound as well.

Jordan. Hate it.

Anything with a hyphenated May/Mai/Mae on the end.

Pippa.

Anything with mae/may tagged on the end

And jaxon.

All the Jordan's I know are big trouble !!

Oh yes Jacob is pretty awful and Jack.

Slightly off topic but I know someone who knows someone who has called her two boys Jacob and Noah - because she likes modern names!!

Yep Jaxon and Maddox. Bloody awful.

Awful names for people my age -
Darren
Kevin - Americans still love this name!! Why???
Brian
Dave (but I like David)
Mike (but like Michael)
Jeremy
Julie
Claire
Donna
Sharon
Karen
Tracy
Michelle (alright Chelle?)

Awful names popular now -
The Jaden, Caden, Haden thing
Cody/Coby
Alfie
Archie
Anything-Mae
Lily
Scarlet
Amber
Amelia (used to love it but so common now)
Kieran
Oliver
Olivia

DD knows a Herbie WTAF!!

James is over used too. It's the obligatory male middle name equivalent of Mai I'm sure.

Ella
Ava

Just make me think of blowsy barmaids.

...and my worst

Summer. I irrationally can't stand it and I don't know why. It's the name schoolyard queen bees would have.

Disclaimer: the masculine version of my DDs name has appeared on this thread so yes, different strokes...

I'm in Scotland Troll not sure if this makes it worse but they are all pronounced correctly - by me at least as DS has an Irish name so it never sounds right when others say it

Oh and Alan. I fucking hate the name Alan. I've met so many shitty Alans and it is such a drippy name.

Lexi
Celeste
Lola
Finn
Louie
Caleb
Seth
Kane
Chloe
Phoebe
Wren - so fucking twee it makes me nauseous.

I hate Josh too. That name smacks of "guy all the girls want who's basically a man-whore".

In other news, all the Duncans I know are fat.

I met a small girl called Justice recently, Justice!?!

My Dd's name has been mentioned and I am saddled with a hyphenated name, it's such a faff 'do you want to be called first name or second name?' plus there's forms and things that don't let you have hyphens. I would not subject a child to it.

I know a little Canadian boy called Jaxon, a name I really disliked but on him it's perfect.

juju me too on the synaesthesia. Chose my dd's name as much for colour co-ordination and 'texture' as anything else.

I really hate three very popular names, more because of the affected tone of voice they tend to be said in, than the actual names themselves.

I also think a lot of people give their girls names that are little girly and pet-like, but to me sound a bit like a simpleton on an adult woman.

So yeah, not actually saying any of these names as they are all in the top 20 or so.

Mercedes

...here we go...

It's a very run of the mill, old-fashioned Spanish name. Seeing that there hundreds of millions of Spanish speakers in the world, you cannot rule out a Spanish connection.

I guess it's easier to think "oh dear! A car name - how chavvy" and feel so so superior

Kai, Tye, Ava, Rocco.
