First Names you hate/dislike

[DenzilEmily]

What first names do you dislike

I would say
Donald because of Donald Trump
And Marco

Ah, my name has just made an appearance

My two kids have been mentioned! Do I get a prize?!? Not arsed tbh as I think their names are beautiful.

My least favourites are:
Claire
Adrian
Isaac
John
Kai
Malcolm
Dimitri
Nigel
Pauline
Angela

Not really names as such but using diminutives as given names - Stacey and not Eustacia that kind of thing.

DDs name is on here
And mine because it's in the top 10 (which I hate)

I don't care because I probably don't like your kids names tbh

I do HATE anything mae and Liberty

Matilda - have never taught a well behaved Matilda.
Ditto Jude, Ethan, Iris, Annabel.

Names I generally really don't like are Harriet, Elizabeth, Louisa, Athena, Claudia, Tabitha, Felix, Casper, Grainne, Rupert, Montgomery, Magnus, Rowan, Robin/Robyn, Wilfred, Albert, Louis, Ottilie, Henrietta, Flora, Millicent, Ethel...I could go all day!

What I find baffling is when people say they hate a really common name because they associate it with a nasty person. I can understand not liking Araminta or Moonshine because there was a horrible girl at school with the name but applying the same logic to Emma or Hannah? Surely there have been several dozen other owners of those names in your lives since then to take the nasty taste away!

Although someone did say all the Hannah's they know are bitches! To be honest, Hannah is one of the names I think are most likely to be lovely people. I know so many wonderful Hannahs. And because I'm really sad and like a good bit of anecdata, I've searched my facebook friends for Hannahs:
12 fabulous Hannahs plus 7 who are averagely nice, normal people. Only 2 who could be termed difficult/acquired tastes etc. Though, to be fair, I suppose I wouldn't have any I really didn't like on facebook so probably not a fair test. I can think of 1 who was awful.

Maddison/Maddie
Ottilie

My DC & DH's names all on here. Never liked DH's name either & certainly not offended!

Girls names I'm not keen on:
Norah
Morag
Margot
Ethel
Deirdre
Pauline
Basically I dislike girl's names which sound unattractive to my ear.

Boys names:
Keith
Alan
Stephen/Steven
Bernard
Carl
Kenneth
Roger
In fact most names of men aged 35-50 are unattractive to me.

I think the first time ever, none of us have been mentioned.

When I first started using MN regularly I did a thread like this, others posters comments offended people and I felt really awful. I didn't mean it to become a 'let's bash names from other cultures thread' and it did. Usually the word 'chav' gets thrown around a fair bit, too.

I have a brother called Kaiden. He's much older than the littler ones and was named for a reason close to my family's heart, so I will always love it (it does stand out against all of our names though)

The only names I can think of right now which I have an irrational dislike of are:

Phoebe
Esmeralda (that is the worst)

Not a fan of Liliana, Eliana, etc.

Erica or Paula

Jack, Oliver, Steve, Emma, Olivia, Ellie as I know SO many of them that their name all be doesn’t identify them.

Sorry, their name alone doesn’t identify them!

Wow, none of mine, DHs or DDs names have been mentioned! Do I win a prize??

I actually think a lot of the names mentioned above are really beautiful.

Wow, my husband, my sister, my mother in law and my father in laws names have all been mentioned.
And the standard hatred for hyphenated names always means I'm mentioned.
At the end of the day, does it matter? We all have different tastes. As long as the name isn't or doesn't mean anything rude or offensive in any way, I don't see the problem. If it's not a name you'd use personally, fine. But there's no need to start a whole thread asking what names people don't like or hate. Many people find it hard enough trying to choose names, and may be on parenting sites such as this for advice. Imagine how they would feel if they saw this? A long list of names that people don't like for some reason. Or say a new parent who was struggling saw the post and the name of their new baby listed? It may upset them as well.
Personally I think these type threads are pointless and very nasty and mean.

My daughter is Freya Ophelia Layla and all those names have been mentioned as well as both of my boys, Leon and Louis. TBF I am not in the slightest bit offended. Taste is so subjective. We all like different things and that’s what makes life interesting. There are names I don’t like but none that I hate or feel that strongly about

Toby-it's so wet! And rather crazily popular around London at the moment.

Horrible thread and not really “in the spirit of the site” as MNHQ would say.

I've never understood why people get so offended by these threads. My dad's name is on here...couldn't care less, we picked it because we liked it, not because anyone else said they did.

Dds name is far from unusual.

DD not dad!
