First Names you hate/dislike

[DenzilEmily]

What first names do you dislike

I would say
Donald because of Donald Trump
And Marco

'Hate' is pretty strong. I think there's only three names I can think of that I feel that negatively about:

Agatha
Gertrude
Ursula

They just have such ugly, harsh sounds to my ears. But I do think that if I ever met one (never known a child or adult with any of those names) then I'd probably grow to at least just 'dislike' it.

Joan I read a lot of Victorian novels and what sticks in my mind re. those names is that if the domestic staff had names considered too good for their station, their mistress would 'change' their name to one of those!!!

I don't like Georgia. Or George.

Well I'm on here as is dd2, just waiting for dd1 to pop up now. Am not offended at all. Each to their own.
For me unlike most of mn I can't abide what to me are "old person" names. Elsie, Ivy, Ethel, Archie etc

Kai
Clive

YY to Agatha.
Angus
Vera
Kellan
Kyle
Carmel/men

Names with 'th' sounds.
Madison
Mason
Paige

Phoebe makes me shiver. It's just so harsh... Fee Bee

Not keen on names that end in 'ie' either - Ellie, Evie, Katie, etc. I much prefer an 'A' ending or none, e.g. Ella, Kate.

I don't like surnames as first names, or the letter 'K' (Kai, Kody, Kayleigh etc)

Chloe it just doesn't sit right with me. Plus I always think of Vanessa redgrave in deep impact calling Chloe chlorine.

Amalie
Edwin
Edith
Meredith
Betty
Bethany

Brodie
Bettina
Beryl
Susan
Freya
Doris

Yay - hat trick 😂😂😂😂😂
Do I need to become a hun??

Anything that ends in y or ie.

Lucus because it reminds me of Mucus
Agatha - just so harsh sounding
I used to despise the name Arthur but now i think it is really cute!
Kaiden - no reason, just don't like it.

Mines not been mentioned yet

Phoebe
Scarlett
Mia
Lola
Lexi
Layla
Lacey
Darcey
Demi
Georgia
Imogen
Poppy

Adrian
Dean
Finley
Toby/Tobias
Teddy
Theo
Harvey
Elliot
Milo
Lewis

Anything hyphenated especially with May/Mae/Mai

Ethel is awful. it was old fashioned even when I was a child. And Toby for a boy I'm not keen on either. Or Paige. I wouldn't care if one of my DC's names appeared on here or mine. It would be a bit mad if everyone picked the same name. Only approved by MN.

There's only 1 name I truly dislike and it's Violet.Reminds me so much of violence and it's such a harsh sounding name.

Mason
Lexi
Jenson
Kaci-Leigh (and the vast majority of hyphenated names)
Demi
Jaxon
Jayden
Harrison

I wouldn't say I hate it but I find the name Hannah very difficult to like. This is because it's the name of someone who constantly made me miserable at school. I find the same with the name Keith, who was a seedy boss I despised. However if I met others with these names now I think that the negative association would probably change.

String- all hannahs I've met have been complete bitches!

I've never liked Caitlin.

And I don't like "low-class" 60s/70s male names, like Gary, Wayne, Shane, Darren, Derrick, Shannon etc.

The only names I really dislike are tacky made up names like Nevaeh “heaven spelt backwards”.

My names popped up, my sons name usually flies under the radar, but I’m sure you would all hate it :)

Don’t like ‘unique’ spellings or names I can’t pronounce 😂

It would be quicker to say the names I do like! I only like 3 or 4 names in this world

Both my sons’ names have been mentioned
and a possible nm for my dd’s name
oh well
