First Names you hate/dislike

[DenzilEmily]

What first names do you dislike

I would say
Donald because of Donald Trump
And Marco

Dwayne. Dumbest name ever. Pronounced Duh-Wayne in our house.

Anything made up, hyphenated or with a random h or y.
And uneeek spellings.
Destynee
Harryson
Nevaeh
Taylah
Rylee
Zaryn

Just a few of many

I have a full house, not bothered at all as there are some names on here I like and some names that MN rave about that I can't stand. The only name I would never, ever use would be Katie-for personal reasons.
I don't see how this thread is any worse than the majority of threads on here. The amount of damn right rude and obnoxious comments I see on threads daily when people ask about certain names I think some of the comments on here are a walk in the park. People either need to get tougher skin or not come on MN🙈

Jennifer
Amelia
Arthur

No good reason other than I don't like the way they sound. Wouldn't ever say so to somebody who picked it though.

None. I think all names are unique. But I have a lot of favorite names in my book. :)

Ashtray
Frogmella

But, yasmin most names, by their very nature, whether from current cultural influences or by dint of being traditional, are not unique.

@ Camper

Both mine and my DSibling's names are here - in the same post.

Pointless thread.

Sooo, which colours do you hate?

I'm not a fan of 'boring' names like Jack and Amelia. I don't hate them they just don't excite me. I'm also not a fan of 'unique' spellings of names or names such as Neveah. Like I said, don't hate-just not for me.

Abigail.

Cannot stand it

Gravy.

I mean, who'd do that to a little innocent baby?

...but lolz aside, really horrible thread to start.

I love discussing names and these sort of threads, it's only a bit of fun ... each to their own.

Hate is a strong word, the only names I hate are Wayne and Dwayne!

Names I dislike are:
Ellie
Libby
Tilly
Evie (so so popular where I live)
Lily (was OK, but now SO overused)
Ella
Sienna
Maya
Mya
Mae!! And anything -Mae or hyphen anything really
Gracie (Grace is nicer, Gracie sounds like a nickname)
Maddison and Maddie
Mackenzie!!
Tyler / Tylah !!
Sarah
Louise
Any Irish girls names with very tricky spelling, used by non-Irish families.

Kayden, Jayden etc
Kai
Logan
Regan
Mason
Harrison
Toby
Reuben
Jaxon / Jackson
Taylor
Michael / Mike !!
Tyler
Carter !!
Liam

Arlo, really popular but I hate the way it sounds, like the h has been dropped.

There are loads I don't like, and very few that I do. But the ones I dislike most are

Gordon
Anthony
Leslie

Lesley
Gertrude
Agatha

I've no idea why - it's no reflection on anyone I have met who has these names, I just don't like the words/letter combinations.

Maci/Macy and anything -Mae/-May. Particularly the Mae spelling. Its just awful.

Rebecca/Sarah/Rachel/Abigail. Snore.

Ethel/Bertha/Agnes/Mildred/fanny/Maude/Nancy. Those give me the actual cringe.

Hannah, only because I knew an absolute twat with that name

Really suprised my DS's names are not on here, maybe people aren't just being polite! My names on here, but it's a very typical of its time name, fell of all the statistics after the 80s.

I also dislike a name due to someone who bullied me, but much like my name it was only popular for a few years so don't meet many people anymore with the name and never heard of a baby being named it recently.

Cruel thread to start on a site used by lots of new parents who've just named a child.
Don't you care about hurting others' feelings?

Mine and both my daughters names are on here 😒

Not much I can do about that lol

Louise is not my first name btw

Evelyn
Edith
Ivy
Cora

Alfie
Harvey
Daniel

There is a grain of interesting-ness in here though.

I dislike 'een' endings- to me, they sound whiny. So to me, Roisin (which most people would think is a lovely name) is in the same stable as Doreen, Eileen- to most folk theyd be miles apart!

I also dislike the look of Li in a name, somehow looks frilly and silly - is that posdibly because 'silly' has that letter structure? So Lily, Lydia - not keen.

I grew up in the 70s-80s so knew lots of Nicolas - reminded me of Nicotine!

Word associations are funny things.

I don’t think I hate any names tbh...

But, I don’t like ‘celebrity inspired’ names, as I think they must be a total arse pain for the dc who have to live with them. “Oh we just LOVE jazz / jimi hendrix / David Bowie, so we had to name our baby [insert name], to honour our hero”. I always wonder if it’s the parents making a statement about their awesome taste in music and drawing attention to themselves; eg David (in honour of David Bowie) won’t do, as it doesn’t get as much attention. It always makes me , as the child might end up only liking Rachmaninov or something and hating David Bowie. Or the silly parents might name a baby after their hero sleb and then something awful might come out about in the press about the RL sleb and the poor child will be stuck with the really obvious, attention drawing name!
