What names would you never use because you associate them with unpleasant girls from school?

For me: Sian, Veronica, Claire and Bronagh.

My name has also been mentioned on this thread, I hope I’m one of the nice ones!

Every Vicky I've ever met has been a complete bitch.

Every Jenny has been an interfering cow. (3 now Grin)

CointreauVersial · 11/07/2018 17:16

Annoyingly, the queen bitch at my school had the same name as me!

CointreauVersial · 11/07/2018 17:16

Ummm...and my name is Vicky. Grin

MrsMoastyToasty · 11/07/2018 17:18

Tanya. Although I had a friend called Tania who was really nice.
Miriam. She was a spoilt brat as well as being a bully.

Tracy
Lorraine
Wendy

Absolute shower of shite

SmilingButClueless · 11/07/2018 17:27

Natalie, Alison and Maddie for me

chickedychicked · 11/07/2018 17:28

Oh yes and Kim-complete sociopath.

The Rebecca's I knew were lovely, the three in my year all in the tops sets, 2 of them prefects too so I always think every Rebecca I meet is super intelligent and sweet (my name's not Rebecca btw).
The only 2 Jenny's I've known have been 2 faced and I think when I meet a Jenny now I'm very suspicious of them.
it's all unfair really.Blush

Itsjeremycorbynsfault · 11/07/2018 17:32

Anne-Marie

phlewf · 11/07/2018 17:33

Hannah - not met one that didn’t treat me like dirt in their shoe. Although my name has been mentioned more than once and I’m a delight to everyone Wink

StoatofDisarray · 11/07/2018 17:36

Wendy, the backstabbing Judas!

ProudThrilledHappy · 11/07/2018 17:39

Vicky and Ruth

Showergel1 · 11/07/2018 17:40

Literally want to change my name due to threads like these. Well this and the constant negative stereotyping of it in the media. Writers should be careful!

LuMarie · 11/07/2018 17:40

Oh, I know really lovely Lauras, Claires, Helens and a Vicky who is an angel!

However, despite the complete lack of logic, yes I also have names I associate with not nice things because of girls from school and even university!

By not nice I mean foolish tramps, oh dear!

Danielle, I don't like you (just one of you, but I still would refuse the name for anyone I was related to)

Rachel, utter moral-free tramp (just one of them but if I described what this one did, we'd have to ban all of them and it's actually a lovely name!)

Stephanie - scary blonde perm

Amy - baby name, no need to have baby intellect. Actually that's rude, I have to apologise to babies, they are way classier!

Also uncomfortable with Wendy for some reason. I don't really know why I'm scared but I am!

Ouch, these things do make an impression huh!

MrStarkIDontFeelSoGood · 11/07/2018 17:41

In later life

Dean, Kate, Karen, Linda, Bev, Pauline, Joanne

Had bad experiences repeatedly with bearers of these names

Was listing many of the worst from my form and realised it would out me

So I picked two stand outs

Hannah and Hayley

Both nice normal names but had HORRENDOUS experiences with two different Hannah’s at different times of life

Hayley was the friend you thought you had but made you out to be a bitch behind your back and encouraged others to exclude

I also could never name a son Carl or date one, absolute festering maggot

londonloves · 11/07/2018 17:44

From school- Fiona, Tilly, Louise.
Later life - Shelley.
Many many men's names if exes 😂

MalloryLaurel · 11/07/2018 17:47

Coffeekittens Bethany/ Beth was our girls name!

Claire (x2)
Jackie (bullied me through the whole of secondary school)
Julie
Susan

elf1985 · 11/07/2018 17:55

Did anyone else just look for their name? I'm only on here twice... phew
