What names have you been put off?

[porterwine]

Are there any names you liked but have been put off by association or an event?

For me (A=and it's a shame because it is of course very popular and well liked) but one is George. My grandpa used to talk about "having a George" meaning a number 2...he said it was a navy thing and they'd talk about "going to the John for a George" and now all that side of my family still use the term! Has anyone else ever heard this? I've never come across elsewhere it so I wonder if it was something that someone my grandpa served with came up with and it caught on.

I also think Fraser is nice but put off by a horrible ex and I think Myra is pretty but can't disconnect it from Hindley.

People on this board have said that I mean, not in real life

Just heard on Radio 4 Women's Hour this morning that someone called Myra hadn't met another until she met Myra Hindley when she was working at the prison. Neither had ever met another Myra.
Interesting programme about names and well worth listening to the podcast

MadisonAvenue - one of my FB friends has two daughters. One looks perfectly normal, the other has the most evil smile. Dead in the eyes. Freaks me out every time I see her, but yet I can't look away!
When I was pregnant, DH liked Amber. But there was a high chance of us having a redhead DD so couldn't risk it. Also, I remember it being referred to as a stripper name in a TV program.

Oh blimey. My name is on here, I do match it, honestly! although I've never liked it and just wanted something I could blend away into the background with.
And my daughter really suits her name, matches her personality and appearance too.
My son's name is on here. He is kind but misunderstood at times.
Names I hate?
Michelle. I know one lovely person with that name. The others I've encountered have been awful. I knooowww there will be loads of people here with that name, I'm sure you're lovely, but if you've ever been the Michelle who cheated on a very kind and loving man, just know you didn't deserve him in the first place. He's happy now, you selfish, spoiled, cold and vacuous being.
Darren... makes me shudder.
Cameron, forever ruined.
Caleb. Sounds like I've got a cold while trying to say it.
There are so many I completely vetoed while pregnant with all three of my children.
Sperm donor of son wanted Stacey that was a big no.
Sperm donor of eldest daughter wanted a variety of 80's (Gemma-Leigh, Kay-leigh, etc) double barrelled first, middle and last names. Didn't happen apart from her last name which she's recently changed to drop his and keep mine. And her first name is lovely, I've not met anyone who doesn't like it, and it's not been mentioned on here yet.
Your name is what you make of it. If you love Bryony, go for it. If you love Angus, go ahead. Love Lana? You name that child.
