I have 1&2 year old Dds and very rarely see their names suggested on here....Dd2s name has started to appear but only once I've spotted Dd1s...!
What names wouldn't you choose and why?

Evie, Eva, Lily, anything double barrelled with Mae or Rose. Very very common.

Rachel

Alison

Jessica

Caroline

Elizabeth

All associated with unpleasant people. Yes, I know that’s more than 3.
Sorry Blush

To make it fair though, my name and DD’s has been mentioned by others!

Elllicam · 02/06/2020 17:14

Grace (just don’t like the sound)
Mai (because I think it should be pronounced as My rather than May)
Charlene

@whatacircus89 Why did Esme get an exclamation mark 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
The names I don't like are always associated with people I don't like and nothing to do with the name itself so it seems a bit mean posting them.

whatacircus89 · 02/06/2020 17:24

Oops. Didn't even realise that but tbh I don't like it because I find there are too many girls called it these days and god forbid the ones with accents on their name if you get it wrong 🤣🤣

BeMorePacific · 02/06/2020 17:50

Terri, Toni, Rae. Not for me!

Taddda · 02/06/2020 19:06

Well that's all 4 of both my Dd's names getting a mention, plus choices 2 & 3....! Been reading this like baby name bingo!

I think they're lovely though, no-one actually said 'eww' at them, just too popular....except her second name which got a 'dull' vote! (Although my original choice for Dd1 still not been said- I don't think it would have been liked though, seeing as though I like quite alot of the names mentioned!)

Except Ethel....

Otillie- see it on here loads but have never met one in any of the schools I've taught at. It sounds ridiculous for all ages.
Aurelia- see above
Tilly/Milly/Ellie etc- They're fine as nicknames (though I have a feeling that Tilly is short for Otillie, I can't think what else) but they seem to now be actual names. The parents apparently haven't considered that their daughter may one day not want to sound like a six year old girl.

Thesnakeminder · 02/06/2020 19:41

Jenny - horrible happiness drains
Eveline / Evelynne etc - just bluergh
Tilly / Milly / Gabby etc

thosethreewords · 02/06/2020 19:43

Anything with -Mai/ -Rai on the end, or any double barrelled first name to be honest.
Skylar and Aurora because I've met horrible brats with these names!
And anything with a special or made up spelling

Emily
Claire
Catherine

I have to laugh when people say they hate anything that is made up. Then in the next breath someone else mentions what the nicknames could be from a particular name. Then someone else says they would just name them the nickname.

All names were made up once upon a time. Not everyone likes British names. Names you love will be hated by someone else. Parents really need to think about how their child would feel when their name is called and know their child will more than likely hate their name.

This is not a nice thread.

Tillygetsit · 02/06/2020 22:19

Two of them are just not my taste at all and one is the name of a weird stalker we had problems with.
