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?

Turns out according to new stats that Freya ,Florence and Willow are now more popular than Sophia, Isabella or Rosie

Ugh. I wince when I hear Freya.

I like Freya but I would never have predicted it would become such a favourite.

Ian, reuben
Morag, Alicia, Eve

Molly and George, so wet sounding

Clementine 🤮

Yes. Especially when shortened to 'Clemmie'. I don't know why but it reminds me of an STI - like Chlamydia

I can't imagine there would be many Archibald's and Gertrude's in the last 50 years. They're awful

I can't imagine there would be many Archibald's and Gertrude's in the last 50 years. They're awful

They really are awful.

I don't know any Gertrudes but have heard of quite a few young Archibalds/Archies

I absolutely detest Jack and Ottilie.

Amelia. I just knew a pretentious kid with that name and can't stand it now

I hate the name Helen. It is probably a perfectly lovely name but every Helen I've ever known has always been a complete bitch. Ditto Georgia. Both the names Helen and Georgia make me shudder, ( apologies to any nice Helen's and Georgia's out there !)

Every Jacqui I have ever known has been a complete bitch

I don't really have any names I strongly dislike, but there are names I would never choose.

Poppy, Grace, Zoe, Rosie, Ivy, Eve/Evie, Elodie, Eleanor, Isabel/isabella, Summer, Autumn, Sunday, Wednesday, Lyra, Mabel, Kitty.

I like the name Elodie when it's pronounced with a French accent, but when English people say the name it always sounds like they are saying hello to someone named D and dropping the H to me.

Dominic, Hugo, Jude, Benson, Oakley, Teddy, Phoenix, Bear.

I cannot stand the names Alice or Hugo. For me there is nothing remotely likeable about them. Cannot fathom why on earth anyone would choose them for their kiddos. Can't pinpoint why - just not my cup of tea.

I expect parents of Hugos and Alices will be saying the exact same thing about my kiddos names!

Aww, Alice and Hugo were a sweet couple (albeit not the brightest).

Frank/Frankie. It's such an incredibly harsh and ugly sounding name. I can't understand the appeal at all or how anyone could look at a lovely newborn and think it appropriate to call him Frank. It's a family name for me but one that I'm happy to let die.

Me too! It makes me feel icky.

I've always hated Hannah and Sophie - the epitome of boring names from my childhood. Also any name with a 'y' in place of an 'i' - Madyson, Caitlyn etc.

Peter, Tim, Keith- worst boy band ever

@clareth disliking names doesn’t make you ‘snooty’ it’s just your preference. If you made decisions about the individuals or their parents based on those names then that would be something else - stupid springs to mind.

Layton, Clayton, Also hate different spellings to the traditional. I came across a Brad-Lee he goes by Brad. Girls Katie too sweet and little girly. Anything that sounds made up. Kianna, Tianna, middle names Mae or mai. Another rediculous boys name I heard is Killian. Who would want kill at the start of they're name?

Phoebe
Oliver
Rose
Ben

Caleb, makes the parents sound thick as shit if they pronounce it a certain way. I'm not fond of surnames used as a first name either.

People are free to dislike what they want, but to declare old Arabic/Hebrew names as modern or names as 'spelt wrong' just shows how thick you are. At least Google the background of the name you are making statements about. All names are made up and 'spelt wrong', we've anglicised the originals and as such have spelt them wrong.

One thing that's changed though is there's been a lot less racism on these types of threads as there was a few years ago.
