Names that make your toes curl!

[Mrsknackered]

Esmeralda
Rosamund/Rosalind/Roseanna
Celeste

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

abcde (absody)

Surely not

Heard of a child called 'Matey' once I was a bit

Have seen dd2's name, ds1's name, my nieces and brothers, oh well you can't please em all

Oh! Names like "Buzz" and "Buddy"

Or worse: "Buddy Bear"

Yeah, you know.

Ha I like quite a few of these. Funny i would have said I don't like surnames but I do like Blake - for some reason (ahem gorgeous Blake in home and away) I don't see it as a surname

My name is on here but not ds or dd. Yet. Lots of names I can't stand but one that gets on my wick is Janie. I don't know if it's a nickname but that's even worse. It's so insipid. Jane is fine but Janie, yuck. I like girls names to be strong. Actually Jeanie is probably worse.

Sadie

Rarer ones that are really twee and naff and American though:

Journee (WTAF)
Avery (aviary)
Bree/Brie (cheese)

I've seenjoyed the following suggested as good names often on the baby name thread really dislike them-
Margot
Meredith
Miriam
Ruth

They're all so middle aged to me.

Curliwobbles- I have a double barrelled name. What's wrong with it?

Oh yes - Ruth - sounds like a dog barking.

My American friends sister is "Brandi" -?she is almost fifty and I shake my head every time I see her on FB.

Anything hypenated.

Anything with a "unique" spelling.

Anything hipstery like Storm, Rainbow, Leaf.

I'll probably cause some offence here.. but I hate flower names, Poppy, Daisy etc... And why does everyone put Rose as a middle or hyphenated name?! It's bugs me.

I hate my name.
The short version is ok, but never liked it.

Doing well here - my name and the names of both my grandchildren have already appeared, and my godson and his brother
I can't understand the 'old lady names' revival at all.

The male names that really make my toes curl are not currently in vogue like Keith and Kevin and female names ones like Brenda, Glenda etc!

I'm not listing names that I don't like, as it always eventually causes trouble and hurts someone's feelings.

So I'm going mention perfectly nice, classic-ish, popular names, that I've actually mostly had positive experiences of, and I don't even actively dislike but make some deeply buried hackle inside me quiver slightly.

Caitlyn
Edward
William
Molly
Mia

do you think we will see a tonne of baby Keiths in something like 2028 the way we have a tonne of Stanleys/Archies now?

Could Alan be the Oliver of 2030?!

Lexi or variations thereof e.g Lexi-Mai

Mae

I'm also doing well @LarrytheCucumber I've also spotted Dh's name

Anything hyphenated! Why oh why? And names that are spelt differently to appear different. I used to know mum at school who's daughter was called Hayleigh! She used to constantly moan about not being able to buy her daughter anything with her name spelt 'correctly'!

Keeley Kylie Kayleigh Kenzie Kayden Kayne Kai Kasey Kallum

Bella, Isabella, Isabelle. It's a perfectly fine name but my god I know so many of them.
Olivia, I don't like the sound of it.

All my DCs names are on here I think (four) and my own! Sorry for all the toe curling we must be responsible for as a family, at least DH's name isn't on the list

Can't say there are any names I particularly dislike but totally understand why some names don't have pleasant association for those of you who were bullied
