I certainly do!
Cant stand the name Molly and Polly 🤮 my aunt had a cat named Molly that was horrible, it's used to wait on the stairs and scratch you ankles when you tried to pass it. And there was a girl who was mean to me at school called Pollyanna!
OH suggested Mollie when I were pregnant and I almost had a turn!
It's sad because they are quite cute names, I just hate the sound of them.

Miread.

And then I met a lovely Miread, and it messed with my mind.

I've never met a nice Lucy.

Truly vile babysitter named Melissa put me off the name for life.

Ella. There was a girl at school called Ella who wasn't very nice, her cousin was a bit of a prick too. I just always think of her. I'm sure she's perfectly lovely now she's grown up but I just don't like the name now.

Yes. I dislike one of my old favourite boys names now as a girl I don't like named her son the name and I just can't think of anything else when I hear the name now. Shame because I would have used it if baby #6 is a boy but feel I just can't.

I worked with an absolute bitch from hell called Robyn and cannot bear the name as a consequence.

All of the Julies I’ve known have been vile bullies. One in my class in primary school, another in my class in secondary school and then a manager in my first workplace.

Maria53 · 01/06/2021 01:04

Veronica - a horrid bully.

Julia. There was a girl at university who was heavily flirting with my boyfriend at the time. I loved him so much and it really upset me. I was only 21!

TeaSoakedDisasterMagnet · 01/06/2021 20:31

Yes, mainly the girls who bullied me at school! Lucy, Natasha, Leanne, Danielle.

Pawprints2017 · 01/06/2021 23:14

I actually really liked Violet when I was pregnant. Reminded me of the girl from "a series of unfortunate events."
Then someone mentioned the really horrible girl from Charlie and the chocolate factory. Now I could never use it.

girlmama32 · 01/06/2021 23:38

I have so many, 10 years in childcare puts you off ALOT of names. It was a nightmare when choosing my own DD's name, I felt like every name DH suggested was a big nope

Nellle · 01/06/2021 23:41

I've never met a Hannah who wasn't completely insane.

HunkyPunk · 01/06/2021 23:47

Dawn. Absolute bitch of a woman in my very first job. Also Wendy, because of MN! Sorry to all you lovely Dawns and Wendys out there!

I've never met a Jonathan I have liked, I'm not particularly keen on the sound of it anyway though
