What are some “Hated names” that you actually think sound nice

[Bsaunders4231]

I’ll go first, I hate to say but I genuinely think nevaeh has such a pretty sound but the name itself tends to get alot of hate.

I have a Georgia, I love it because it's not a popular name.

I love Mildred but hate that it would probably get shortened to Millie

How do you pronounce Nevaeh ? Like never-eh? Or never-eh. Either said in a Yorkshire accent sounds right.

Blinking auto correct... Neev/a/eh

I can’t believe no one has said Norman yet!! I love it. Just makes me think of a handsome, tall, man from the North!

I’d pronounce it nuh-VAY-uh. I’ve no idea if this is correct as I’ve only seen it in text, I’ve never met one.

Norman will always be naughty Norman Price from Fireman Sam to me, spoken with an angry Welsh mum intonation!

Which is a shame, because I kind of feel like it should be in the same rugged, sexy camp as Roman and Tudor.

@ComtesseDeSpair thanks, that makes sense, and sounds better too!

I love Jane and Mary but people think they are too boring.

I love Rachel. It just seems so clear and light to me.
I predict it will return in 15 years😁😁😁😁

Why not? I've got one. Nobody comments on any negatives.

Lilith, fabulous name and completely unusable.

@neerg Rachel is lovely!

@Summerwetordry I like Roxanne /Roxane too but was put off by the Police song about a prostitute.

It isn't unusable at all, I've met a toddler one. It's gorgeous and was on our list but I make boy children exclusively

I like Roxanne too but also think of the Police song about a prostitute..but Lola's popular and that's a song about a cross dresser and it's not affected it's popularity!

My name is wet apparently according to a recent thread 😂 my children's names are frilly, overused and boring too. I think they're all ok though 😉

If it’s the Lucy thread, I’ve always liked the name Lucy and vastly prefer it to the other options posted! Mn is weird with names.

No sure what is officially "hated" but I like the sounds in both Clarence and Hilda, while recognising that they might be considered too old-fashioned for a little child to live with.

@ForestFae that's the one! I wouldn't describe myself or any of the other Lucys I know (I've known quite a few over the years) as wet even if our name is 🤪

Georgia was hugely popular 25/30 years ago. At least three sets of friends have one and the dc had one in every year group they were ever in.

Karen
Clive
Wendy
Alan
Neville
Walter
Julian
Desmond
Mildred
Ebenezer

Chantal

What have I missed with Dixie?

I like Georgia too. Gorgeous name!
