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

For me: Sian, Veronica, Claire and Bronagh.

Never met a nice Hannah, same for Jennifer (Jenny). There was a female Jordan at school and she was fucking awful. Georgia and Georgina’s were always bitches too.

Rebecca, Alex, Michelle - school bullies.

From school & work I dislike the names:

Emma (school bully)
Sarah (weird kids)
Julie (work bully)
Jennifer (school bully)
Deborah (bitchy)
Laura (uni bitch)
Rebecca (gobby)

Although one of my best friends is called Laura so I like the name again.

tierraJ · 12/07/2018 08:23

Oh yes - Yvonne ( work gossip)

Negative associations with the name Sofia. One at sixth form, I ended up in an actual fight with. Another from high school, had been a really close friend all the way to university...then tried to manipulate the friendship group and later admitted she had planned splitting friendship for a while.

DD 2 is named Sofía and I now love the name. Only have positive association. Never think of the girls from school.

Jill, Olivia, Camilla.

There are a few boys as well, btw... Sylvian, Philip, Nicholas, Christoph.

MariaMadita · 12/07/2018 16:41

Those were the names of the main class bullies (not really my personal bully, except for Camilla...) as far as I remember.

There were obviously more people I didn't like but the association isn't that bad...

Oh, and Lukas. I'd never use that name...

Loads of names I won't use because of bad association with teaching kids with those names. It make choosing ones for DC tricky to say the least!

I've just realised I can not remember the name of any of the girls that made my life hell at school. I'm a teacher now though so there's Names from that. That never met a nice Juliette/Juliet
