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?

Boy-Jaxson, especially spelt like that.
Girl-Nevaeh.

Olive
Saskia
Edna
Isis

Oh yes…. Nevaeh. Where the child will always have to explain, “Neveah. It’s Heaven spelt backwards”.

Bethany. I just find that name nauseating! 🤢

Phoebe.

I know a lot of people on here seem to love it, but it just makes me think of the word feeble.

To me, written down, it looks as though it should be pronounced: Faux-eh-be.

Nevaeh... does't make me think of heaven, more Nivea cream.

I’d put Parker in with those. I’ve heard it for both boys and girls but it’s not a name I could love. Fine for a surname though.

I agree about Phoebe - it looks and sounds so feeble and weak. It also doesn't travel well internationally

Ottilie
Harriet
Ophelia
Verity

Agree with all these except Ophelia

Oh dear, I have read up to page 20 and mine, my DH and 5 out of our 6 DC are listen on here 😂

I agree with anything double barrelled with "May" or "Mae", also Gemma, Stacey, Hugo, Andrew, Richard, Margot, Greta, Warren and names like Brayden/Kayden etc.

Listed not listen*

I've never met a Parker, but yes, that's hideous.
Nosy Parker
Someone who parks cars

I know a Kenzie. Horrible name

Paige
Ellimae
Fenella
Clementine/Clemmie
Daisy
Freya

Harvey
Ethan
Tyler
Rufus
Arlo
Hayden

Belle, Kai, Jaxon, Cody, Cory, Willow, Tallulah, Olive, Albie, Teddy, Amelia, Chase..........

I dont have a problem with Warren as a name.

Girl- Samantha

Boy- Junior and Sonny. Just awful.

Agatha, Ethel, Mildred and similar.
Trevor, Horace, Percy, Humphrey etc

I would prefer those to top 10 names. Just quite bored of hearing the same few names (Eve variant names /Grace/Isabel variant names/Lily etc) anything that’s not those is quite refreshing.

I think there is a difference between names that I hate — ie harsh, ugly sounding names and that are awkward to say, such as Agatha and Horace,
and names I dislike usually because they are cringeworthy or have bad associations. With many of the latter names it is a purely subjective dislike which I own.

Neveah.

Cooper.

Amelia is just the most hideous name. The godawful 'mealy' noise in the middle of it (uh MEALY uh) and the medical meaning of it (absence of limbs) render it so unpleasant. I find it unbelievable that it's so popular. A friend of mine called her daughter it and her nickname is 'mealy'. 🤢 So unfair.

Agreed, Amelia is just horrible.

Yes! Also Lydia, Mave, Olive, Mabel and Edith. So overrated.

For me it's the names that have become so overused they've become bland. Names like Olivia, Sophia, Emma, Elizabeth, George, Charlie, William and Alfie. I do feel a bit mean saying this, because well it is a bit mean, as naming a child is so personal, but people on MN can be so rude and snobby about more unusual names (or ones that are foreign that they just aren't familiar with) but actually it's the 10 a penny names that I'm not keen on as they lack imagination.
