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?

I don’t like it when people try to glamourise their names
eg
Susan becomes Suezayne or Susainn
Diane become Diahann
Michelle become Michaele

For some reason I have an aversion to the name Jack. It is not the name per se
it is because I know three people with the name and all of them are awful.

I worked with a Jackie who became Jacqué overnight 🤣

Yes Olive! What is this Olive thing about?! It's not even a nice word, it's so ugly 😬 I know the most beautiful little girl named Olive and I find it jarring every time I hear her name, I can't believe her parents thought that was the nicest name going.

I’ve never like the name Hazel, it’s so dull and plain to me. I was quite shocked when Julia Roberts named her daughter it. Cannot stand the name Evie, I like Eve but Evie just makes me think of spoilt princessy types with mothers who wear gilets and Hunters wellies, drive their kids to school in a 4x4 and are called Annabelle (a name which I actually do like)

I have a stupid, 'unique' name that I genuinely find embarrassing when applying got jobs etc. I wouldn't do that to my child. BUT I would also never give my child a top 100 name. Creates its own issues. There's a huge middle ground full of normal names that give you your own identity without embarrassing you. 100-400 in the charts is a good place to look.

@Bangolads stupid is a bit harsh! Names bring up feelings about past associations, good and bad. Yes obviously every individual is different but you might at first have a slight aversion to someone with the same name as the school bully that made your life a misery.

Jagger/ Bowie

I think it’s fine not to like a name or to think it’d cause issues where you live but I think it just comes across as ignorant to call established/traditional names as ridiculous or made up.

Caleb not sure why. My autocorrect likes to change it to camel so im sure that doesn't help 😂😂

Harriet, Winifred

Wilfred, Rupert,

all such dusty, fusty, ugly names to me.

Laura, James (both boring) anything doubled barreled and anything mum/dad made up or has an usually difficult spelling for no reason.

Amelia and Amy

Cannot stand Jayden or Kayden, any surnames as first names (McKenzie, Mason, Carter), and anything with Mae in it.

I hate the name Matthew. It reminds me of a pale, snot nosed, whining brat

I also hate Ian or Simon 🤢

For girls I hate the may/Mae thing or anything "Ella" related. Ie isabella, Ana Bella, isla etc

Or and eve/evie

Aww I love the name seren

Anything Bella or Belle related for a girl, just far too girly. Particularly dislike Bella.

River
Austin
Harrison
Miller

It's not that I dislike it, but only dogs should be called Oscar.

I agree. It's my name.

I have two which may offend people since they have been very popular. But Katie and Jennifer really irritate me for some reason.

Imogen

Rory 🤢

Ophelia - just doesn’t roll of the tongue well

Hepzibah or whatever wtf

I’ve never liked the name Martha. I didn’t like it when I was young and I still don’t like it now I’m older. No particular reason it just doesn’t sound nice to me.
