Have about 100000 names I dislike but off the top of my head: Tyler, Taylor, Mason, Jayden, Kaiden, Mercedes, Levi, anything with May/Mae/Rae/Ray/Lee/Leigh/Rose added to it, Lola, Lexi, Georgina, Chloe, Kai, Connor, Callum, Molly, Millie, Chanel, Alfie.

I mean, I could go on Grin.

Names I currently love are: Sebastian, Martha, Arthur, Casper, Alexis, Penelope, Marina, Adeline (Ada for short and Rafferty.

You'd get a better idea by asking people what they think of yours. In which Heidi os cute, the others aren't to my taste.

I like Iilyanna, lillith, martha, eden, xavier, zachariah, noah, gabriel,

Ickyockycocky · 25/05/2018 01:41

I hate Axl.

LilMadAgain · 25/05/2018 01:51

No babies in my future (perhaps a nice rescue cat in a years time Wink) but I love the name Lillyanna, it's so sweet! I don't dislike any names but I am heartily fed up with all the Kayden Jayden Hayden boys here and having nothing even slightly different and alllllllll the ruby/lilly/maisy - rose/rosa/mai/mays... Just bugger off and spread out a bit.

QuinnElle · 25/05/2018 07:12

Love: Max, Oliver, Annie, Gabriella

Hate: Jayden, Tyler, Molly, Millie, Mia etc... They're all a bit "the c word" to me.

YoucancallmeVal · 25/05/2018 08:23

I like classic names mostly. I very much dislike this current race to the bottom of giving your child a pensioner's name. Is reg nice? No it's fucking awful. Have taught too many simpering Ellies so not a fan. And still don't get the Florence or Bella love.

HuckleberriesFin · 25/05/2018 11:39

Time again the name Jayden comes up in these threads .

Why is it so loathsome?

I’m expecting a boy and we have shortlisted this name but with the spelling Jadon.

It’s from the bible Confused

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 25/05/2018 11:43

Hate Jenson. Henrietta. Madison. Marcus.
Alexis. Cheryl.

toffee1000 · 25/05/2018 12:29

Huckleberries I think partly just because it seems to be everywhere right now, along with rhyming names like Hayden/Kayden/Brayden/etc. Similar to why people dislike all the names like Lily-Mae/Ruby-Jai/Darcie-May etc, they’re very popular right now.

Alpacages · 25/05/2018 14:07

Love not wacky but not common names I know 20 of eg. Luke, Carly, Asa, Willow.

Dislike all the boring, overused names-
Ella, Ellie, Lily, Oliver, Olivia

The animal ones-
Clover, Daisy (cows)
Bella is the name of a million dogs round here.

One of my DDs has a Mumsnet hated ‘chavvy’ K name but I’m common and chavvy anyway my family tell me Grin

Pinksta · 25/05/2018 14:16

Grayson and Reign are not names so I don't think you are sticking to the rules of your own game.

Fifthtimelucky · 25/05/2018 17:14

I've certainly never heard of a Reign (though Raine is a name). Grayson is though.

I know a Grayson (in his 40s, probably) and I think Grayson is Grayson Perry's real name.

mintich · 25/05/2018 19:44

Worst names: Amber, Gemma, Emily but only because they remind me of people I don't like!!
Also irrationally dislike Peter...I have no idea why! I think I don't like how it sounds in my accent.

ellalouise90 · 25/05/2018 21:05

@Pinksta they really are names ...

Names I love. Wow so many. Just did a massive list for help. Love Evangeline, Juliet, Martha, Eloise, Genevieve, Vivienne, Isabel, Delilah, Eleanor, Francesca, Emily, Hannah, Niamh. Loads more but there's a few

Hate: anything hyphenated especially names with May, rae/ray, Rose. E.g. lily-may etc, anything like jayden/kayden/zayden etc, Mercedes, Portia, Destiny,chardonnay and also hate really posh sounding names like Clementine, Cordelia, Florence, Petronella etc etc just because I'm not posh lol.

Jj2431 · 25/05/2018 23:46

Also agree with @witchesglove. My mum is Sharon though lol hate very 70s sounding names like Carol, Brenda, Barbara etc. Prefer them to hyphenated and names like destiny though.
