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

For me: Sian, Veronica, Claire and Bronagh.

Bronagh is a nice name, but the only one I've known was horrendous

Shona- again lovely name, awful person.

Miread. Two awful ones...then I met a really nice one as an adult, which confused me.

MrsReader · 11/07/2018 20:08

Had my fair share of mean girls at school but none would put me off a name

GlitterGlassEye · 11/07/2018 21:03

My names Claire and I promise I’m a fucking delight but did get told at high school by my friends that I have a very bitchy resting face 🤷🏽‍♀️.

LynetteScavo · 11/07/2018 22:18

My name usually features heavily on threads like these, but it's not been mentioned once! I might keep it Grin
