Are there any names that you just can't imagine on a baby?

[TheNameNerd]

Each to their own but I just can't picture a baby Frank. It seems such a harsh sounding adult name for a baby especially a newborn yet there have obviously been a lot of baby Franks but somehow I have a mental block when picturing it.

Does anyone else feel this way about a name?

Hermione

Quite a few of the names mentioned here, particularly some of the girls’ ones, are already back in certain circles. I know babies or young toddlers called all of these:
Margo (though the one I know is Margot)
Daphne
Maude
Audrey
George
Robert
These things definitely go in cycles, though I’d suggest George and Robert are pretty claasic.

Yes these girls names are v fashionable around my neck of the woods

My ds name has been mentioned so I hope I'm ahead of the curve

Sharon! It's my mums name, and my colleagues name, and my hairdressers name... So many of them but imagine a little Sharon now?!

My dh’s name is Kevin. I can’t imagine him as a baby and mil calling him it. At least his middle name is sensible.

Im of an age where every other boy at school was Kevin I know loads.

Reginald

Shirley
Sandra
Agatha
Colin
Derek
Herbert

Colin.

Paul. Absolutely not.

Keith. A relatives grandson is called Keith and it sounds weird on a 3 year old!

Gladys
Nigel
Maureen
Maurice
Reginald
Percy
Attracta
Perpetua
Gobnait
Derek

I think Bernard and Deirdre are my favourite names that I've seen on this list and would be very weird on a baby.
Imagine baby Bernard 😂

HAROLD
GARY
WAYNE
JASON

I registered a baby Ian a few weeks ago.

That was pretty cool!

Keith
Paul
Steve
Scott
Gary
Richard
Darren
Alan
Kevin
Michelle
Helen
Karen
Lisa
Sharon
Jayne
Lorraine
Susan
Helga
Mary
Marie
Anne

Then the really crazy/celebrity ones

Angel
Princess
Apple
Crystal
Bunny
Kenzie
Blue
Skyla
Lucky
Buddy
Lockie

Imagine baby Bernard 😂

I can easily imagine a little Bernie!

Is it any different to a little Bertie (Albert/Bertram) or Archie (Archibald)?!

Pauline, Linda

Clive, Gary, Graham, Malcolm

Oh, and Ian

Linda
Beverley
Pauline

Colin
Nigel
Malcom
Sandra
Karen
Sharon

Among under-fives I know, there are two Audreys, one Mary and one Anne.
Audrey in particular is becoming a bit trendy. I think it's lovely.

I can't imagine a baby Bertha or Nigel, but I know that's just my brain doing the "association" thing. There's nothing inherently unbaby-like about those names. People would have thought Edith and Ivy were odd names for a child 30 years ago; now playgrounds are full of them.

Sharon or Linda

Boys are harder I would say Malcolm or Graham
