Which is the one name you dislike the most?

[Wombat100]

Just out of interest really - is there a specific boy or girl name you just can’t stand?

Boys;Oliver - there are zillions of them.
All I can see is an underweight urchin asking for more..such a feeble sounding name..Ollie even worse and not at all cutesy
Jack - just do John and be done with it

Girls; Anything Lacey/Stacey/Gracey sounding
Chelsea, Lily-Mae and any other double barrelled abomination

Hayden/Jayden/Kayden. Also don't like Matilda - don't know why. And don't like hyphenated names because they normally end with Mae/May!

I really like Grace but there were so many about when I had my daughter so is her middle name instead. There is no one else with her name at her school currently.

And don't like Eloise either x

Ottilie
Harriet
Ophelia

Seb (I don’t mind Sebastian though, just really dislike Seb)

I have an irrational hatred for Archie.

Otherwise, surnames as first names. Harrison, Madison, Gray, Riley etc.

Jaxon which is truly the most horrific name of all time

Hunter. Hunters kill animals. Do you really want to call your child that?

I don't get the love on here for Olive (On the buses), Margot/Margo ( snobby character from The good life and Ivy (poison Ivy from Corrie). Probably showing my age.

Yes!!! I saw this thread… I wonder if OP did ever officially name baby that 🤔

I’m a bid sad that some of the names on my baby list are apprearing here… I may need a rethink 🤣

@Xmasgrinchywinchy, my DF named her son this… not my cup on tea, but I don’t think it’s awful either! Same friend also has DD Myla - not sure if that’ll be loved or hated my the MN community. I think it’s pretty sounding and not common so also have nothing against that, even though I wouldn’t use it myself.

My 3 daughters' names don't appear here. Yesssss!
Only one middle name though.

None of my children's names have appeared yet, but I'm sure plenty would dislike them! I chose them as I didn't know any other children with them, as I didn't want them to become a name with their initial after it at school. I'd actually be quite miffed if they suddenly became popular!

My all time most disliked name is Keith.

Lily. It's just so weak.

Fucking hell.

Imogen- Remedy for the trots
Phoebe- Always thought it was pronounced 'Fobe'
Duncan- just no.
Dominic- Ditto

Well, yes, because those names would imply that several forty-five-year-old men had infiltrated your class.

It’s hardly surprising, though. Mn has always had a strand of knee-jerk anti-Irishness. Though it’s the widespread total ignorance of the geography, history, nomenclature etc of a neighbouring country that I find weirder.

it's almost as if it's another language

Hate is a strong word - but there's quite a lot of names I'm not fond of - including my own which has been mentioned. Very out if fashion with a Karen-ish flavour. Always hated it.

My dislikes fall into a couple of categories: the Jayden, Kayden, Jaxon and surname type names.

The trad names: Catherine, Margaret, Elizabeth, William and Victoria names.

And then the ones with sounds I don't like: like Bethan

And the ones that are twee: Kitty, Daisy, Maya, Mia

That doesn't leave many. And I have given my children unusual but pretentious sounding names (not mentioned yet) but I can see others would think them wanky.

😂

Margot reminds me of maggot

Romy 🙄

Girl names.
Ella.
Phoebe.
Rose.
Seraphina.
Aurelia.
Sadie.
Etta.
Olive.
Isla.
Charlotte
Aurelia.
Nancy.
Evie.
Hazel.
Lola.
Esme (If its pronounced Ez-mee) yet I love Ez-may.

Boy names.
Dylan.
Mason
Jack.
Lucas.
Sean.
Jonathan.

There are some name where it depends on how its spelt even though it makes the same sound. (Crazy I know) Eg
I love Louis but hate Lewis.
I quite like all variations of Lily but I can't abide Lilly.
I don't mind Laila but I hate Leila.

That was a lot more than one, sorry. 😂

I don't like the majority of names ending in -son or -den.

Noa for a girl - why use a girl's name that sounds exactly like a boy's name and will be misheard and misspelt forever.

Jonathan - I don't like the name but I know about 10 of them and all are lawyers so a good option if you want your child to be a lawyer

Really dislike Lilly with a double l (or any easy names that will have to be corrected by the child forever due to the spelling)

Middle names that mean something to the parents but aren't names like Nine or Tahiti

Animal names like Fox and Bear, and names that are better suited to pets than humans
