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?

Aw, not enjoying the Oscar hate .. the one I know is 63 and exceptionally wonderful in every way ❤️!

The names I can't stand are Imogen (so ugly...sounds like engine oil or an electricity company - ImoGEN),
and for a boy Arthur. Never liked it, sounds old and flabby.

Similarly, it’s the name Georgiana for me. My daughter went to a weekly class with a Georgiana who, not particularly surprisingly, was sometimes accidentally called Georgina by the class leader.

Every single time her mum - who had one of those loud authoritative-sounding posh voices - would say “It’s Georgi-Ah-Na actually”

Well if he's 63, I'd imagine he's not being dragged round a supermarket throwing things off the shelves whilst a meak, middle class woman whines "stop doing that Oscar"

Tell her it's Jor-jay-nah. Actually. Shove that up her muff and smoke it!

Any boring names like Lauren, Jack, Emma,
Any flower names Lily, Daisy, Violet
Anything obviously religious for boys Gabriel, Noah,

Anything pretentious sounding Rupert, Tarquin, Tristan, Phillipa, Olivia.

Amelia is horrible sounding.
Esme is awful. Pronounced Es-May it's lovely though!
Harper. All the Harpers I've met are bullies.
And newborn babies being called Middle aged mens names, like Peter, Michael, David, Andrew. Perfectly fine on a 40 year old, but horrendous on a baby.

Oh and how could I forget Aurelia?
Reminds me of a nipple (areola)

@Comedycook a bit less often now than he used to, at least.

Oh god, me too. Having struggled with BF the word areola is tattooed on my brain. It's just what I think of when I see/hear the name Aurelia.

I forgot about Elodie. Not only do you have to put on a silly french accent to say it properly, it also sounds like elodia, which is pond weed.

Stevie because it somehow reminds me of "stinky".

@Simplepink 😂 I thought exactly the same about my 3 boy's names! 1 is not that common and a bit marmite, 1 is a unisex name more common in girls in UK and the other is still quite uncommon 25 years on, but there are a few more around now, although there are a few spellings of it and I've never seen it spelt like his before (quite aware this makes it sound chavvy, but it's not!).

Teddy
Mae
Arthur/ Alfie/ Archie
Esme

I have a big problem with people who love the sound of Irish names, but then don't bother their arse to find out how to spell them correctly. I am looking at you, Mother of Shevawn and Sharn.

It also is to do with name association, I am ancient, therefore appalled at any girl being named Olive, as in the whiny, downtrodden wife in On The Buses. Same with Ben, I wasn't going to call my son after daft Benny from Crossroads.

Names which are just initials; TC, TJ etc. I see a dad in dodgy grey tracksuit who won't hang around long

Toby. Its just awful. Dont know why.

No! Ben is a huge gentle bear with a very irritating blonde pal 😂

I heard the name “Star” today. Ugh! 🤢

Im also not a fan of Jack, Amelie, Brandon, or any “old” names that are becoming popular especially Amelia!

My friends grandmother was called Amelia, back in the 1970’s. She was not a typical, loving grandmother. That name always makes me shudder when I hear it 🥺

i don’t like boring over used names. They are so run of the mill. Eve/Lily/Olivia/ Grace yawn yawn yawn. Eve/Evie has got ridiculous. The name Eve and all its Eva/Evie variants should be officially declared full.

girls:
fucking bethany. no idea why, just HATE it.

boys:
cruz
any "ayden" name, eg. jayden, brayden

neutral:
unpopular opinion but bodhi

also, jack, junior, most J boy names

Nigel.
Which unfortunately is DH's best friend's name. He's really nice, but I still hate the name.
It's just such an ugly sound.

Really dislike Harriet and Imogen...both so clunky sounding.

Arlo....just what?! Will date so badly

Arlo, Archie, and Amelia. I just don't like the sound of them.

I forgot about some names that seemed to have been MN popular in the last couple of years, but that made me cringe:

Willa
Calliope
James for a girl (great for a boy!)

Yuck.

Amelia is grim. Mealy is a revolting sounding word. Uh mealy uh. Also the medical definition of amelia means 'absence of limbs.' Why on earth a doctor would call her child it, I've no idea. (Peter Andre's wife.)
