Do you have any names you hate because of an association?

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.

I actually don't and don't don't find I associate the name with the person who was mean to me or who I disliked. But I think it's often the case that I've met multiple people with the same names so it's never solely associated with one person.

Samantha, Ruth - school bullies

Yep - Esme - horrible work bully. Shame, as it's a lovely name.

Melanie - an awful, extremely negative work colleague, and a two faced friend at uni... though can't say I'm that keen on the name anyway.

On the flip side, I love the name Malcom, due to two lovely Malcoms, whereas before I didn't like it at all, so works both ways.

Went to school with people with those names who were dreadful.
Then had work colleagues with the same name who were just as awful.

Never met a nice Fiona.

It's the opposite for me. I haven't yet met a Fiona who wasn't lovely.

I'm a nice Fiona! 😊 (or at least I'd like to think so! 😂)
