Names ruined by others?

[MsHopey]

I've always loved the name Ophelia (pans labyrinth).
While discussing it with DH he said the first thing he imagined was a 14 year old boy "I'll feel ya. . . round the back of the bike sheds." Absolutely ruined it for me.
Anybody else?

Annoyingly all my husband’s ex girlfriends have names I love - but for very obvious reasons they’re off the table!

Nicholas. I suggested it to DH and he insisted on pronouncing it “knicker-less”.

Also Wendy, Mumsnet has ruined that name for me.

I loved Lydia until my husband said chlamydia and now it's ruined

I loved the name Soraya. I knew a girl with that name 30 years ago and she pronounced it Sor-ray-uh. When I was pregnant, I emailed this name to a friend and he emailed back "sounds like psoriasis". That killed it for me. I later found that many people do pronounce it Sor-rye-uh.

The same friend also put me off Lydia by saying "sounds like chlamydia" and Sunniva by saying "sounds like saliva", although it turned out that Sunniva has an unusual pronunciation (which I didn't like that much anyway).

A Mumsnetter put me off Rialta by pointing out it was a brand of motor home. No doubt DD will thank her one day.

Snap, Barbar!

I loved the name Blair until my someone said it reminded them of the noise 'bleugh' (sick noise)

I loved the name Amos until someone thought I said 'anus'

Augustus- everyone immediately makes the Bloop connection which has ruined it for me 😭
Aurelia- my friend said it in a strong glaswegian accent and I immediately hated it.
Tabitha- I thought Tabby was cute as a nickname but the cat comments have made me doubt it.
Tristan- loved it until I posted it on MN and it got slaughtered LMAO it's apparently a wet, posh name

When I was pregnant I made the massive mistake of telling my family I loved and was considering the name Angus for a little boy. My dad said “like Deayton, who got sacked from tv for taking drugs and sleeping with prostitutes?” My sister said “like Aberdeen Angus, the delicious steak?”. And my brother said “it just sounds like anus to me”.

Cheers family, name choice ruined 😂 I did have a boy. I did not call him Angus.

Love the name Lana but it spells 'anal' backwards.

I loved the name Flora until DH spoilt it for me saying there would be lots of crude jokes about spreading easily.

Elijah after someone said it sounds like 'I lied to ya'

Benedict Bendy Dick

Isaac I suck

Well, Donald is obviously ruined.

Portia.... I'll ride ya!

I always wanted Eustace for a boy but I just couldn't get away from people saying "Useless?" every time I said it!

Stephanie sounds like fanny. Sorry!
At least the ones I know go by steph fit that reason

For* that reason

Archie. I don't think I can actually say the name without involuntarily adding "stop it!" afterwards now. There's always something to stop...

Not me but my friend told me she liked the name Audrey when she was pregnant. I agreed and said to DH that she liked the name Audrey and wasn't it nice? He replied with 'it sounds like Orgy' so that ruined it for me! She had a boy in the end

Isabelle - my DB kept saying is a bell really necessary on a bicycle and ruined it!

I still love the name Matthew, but my husband for some reason says it more like Maffew and it puts my teeth on edge! Otherwise it would probably be my number one choice if DC2 is a boy!

Yes to Ophelia and Isabelle for the same reasons!

I loved the name Noah but for some reason my DM insisted on pronouncing it Nor .... drives me irrationally crazy and so I chose Elijah instead - which I’ve never thought of as sound like I lied to ya as suggested by a previous poster lol

it hasn't put me off it but I heard
"Gaybreeeeyull pack it in",now" being screached across a certain super market. I'm going to sound like a right snob now but it sounded really chavvy. Mind you I suppose any name can sound chavvy if it's screeched loud enough.

Margot. Until I read on here someone likening it to maggot. Now I can't look at the name without thinking maggot.
