Mumsnet hated names that you like?

[marmitelover84]

We all know mumsnet is full of opinions
“Chavvy” “Chavtastic”
“Doesn’t look good on CV”
“Not middle class”
“Council estate name”
“What if they want to be a lawyer or doctor?”
“Not a real name”
“Trying too hard to be different”
“So bland and boring”
“Too American”
(All things I’ve seen on threads over the years!)

So I want to know, what are some names that the majority of mumsnet HATE but you like?

For me it’s Grayson and Everly. They are two of my favourite names ever.

Poppy (always gets “poopy” comments on here)
Amelia
Everley

I don’t mind Kai and Kayden.

Dulcie - gets some serious hate here & I think it’s lovely

Wendy

Kevin and Kyle

I have a common streak in me:

Shannon
Jade
Summer
Samantha
Maxine

Thank goodness i only had boys.

I love the name Kevin. I don’t get the issue

My daughter is Brooke , which seems like marmite to most people.

I also love flower names such as Rose, Daisy etc...

Alyssa....my dd name which I love but Mn say its chavvy!!

I don’t know what associations Saskia has for other people, but I think of it as being quintessentially Dutch.

My DD’s middle name is Rose, which is seen as a “filler name” by some MNers. I considered many other names because Rose is so popular. But ultimately I went with Rose because it’s a beautiful name, I love it and it goes really well with DD’s first name and surname.

I'm having a DD in October, DH and I have agreed her name will be Ruby. We both like it and it was my great-grandmother's name, she was absolutely brilliant. I don't particularly care that some MNers think it's a stripper name, to me it's the name of my lovely nan who looked after me as a small child and always had nice biscuits

I've seen a lot of dislike of Saskia on here recently. I love it.
Also love Emily, which gets decried as 'dull' and 'boring'.

Nevaeh, the sound is nice. Even more shocking, It doesnt bother me that it is heaven backwards. But I am bias, I know a little girl with this name and shes a beautiful little soul. I see it in the same category as Hope, faith etc. I like Tallulah, Lily and Felicity.

I'm quite fond of the name Keith which lots of people don't seem to like.

Thankfully I've had my kids now.

the baby names board really shows up the classism, racism and xenophobia on MN, whilst also highlighting a bizarre preference for old-fashioned-for-a-reason names like Joan and Olive. Give me a Savannah or Lily-Mae any day of the week over Joan.

I'm quite fond of the name Keith which lots of people don't seem to like.
I also like Keith.

Chardonnay

Another for Everley and Beauden.
I bloody love them!

There was a thread a while back about the name Ylva, which was pretty much universally panned, but I like it.

I also like Harper, Spencer (for a girl), Hayden, & Emily (often denounced as 'boring' and/or 'wet').

The cutsie versions of old men names people hate: Alfie, Archie etc - I love all of those.
Sophie is considered too common. It's my favourite girl's name.

Amber.
A ‘stripper’ name apparently....I think it’s lovely!

I think I can outdo all of these...

I really like the name Colin Really don't see the issue with it...

I like Conor, Liam and Cameron - naughty boy names.

I can't stand old lady chic - what's next - Barbara and Pauline?
