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?

Reuben - possibly because of someone I know called this.

Morag - sorry to any Morags but I can't make myself like the name.

Jayden, Kayden, Jorden etc. Very chavy. See also Liam.
Anything with a random apostrophe or adding D at the start such as Dwayne or D'Shaun.
For girls yes double barrelled -Mae or -Rae ending is very overused by a certain type of person.

Sophia/Sofia. Sophie is a nice name but already slightly posh/twee. Adding on the pretentious little flick at the end is taking things too far.

Btw to ppl whose names have been mentioned - I really like loads that have been posted!

Would be better if people could do one name they irrationally dislike rather than listing many many names and giving their opinion on them all... "It's overused" is a boring reason, sorry

😂😂 I have a Millie and I chose it because of a character in a drama who was a really successful strong woman. Weirdly my daughter had the same opinion aged about 13 until I explained that as soon as I thought of Millie that was going to be her name because of the positive connotations I had with it. She has grown into a great young woman, a feminist. It’s interesting to see what others think but wouldn’t say. I’m not offended in the slightest like some people have said these posts are. There are so many names I don’t like, it’s miraculous that DH and I agreed twice to name the children we have.

Teddy. I can't fathom why its so popular in the UK.

For girls, I really dislike Eliza and Romy.

🤮

Beverley
Travis

Delilah

I’m not a huge fan of it either but Teddy Sheringham doesn’t seem too affected by his name.
And yes, I know it’s not his official name before someone tried to jump on. It’s the one everybody knows him by though and the one he uses.

Riley
Jayden / Kaiden etc
Names beginning with K (unless they are 'old school' like Katherine / Kevin etc)

My name is on this thread aswell as both my DC (including DD's middle name!)

Kai. This seems to have become the trans man's name of choice. I know several girls who changed their name to Kai when they were 18 as part of their 'transition'.

@midnightfirework and @Munches attempting to write Persephone phonetically here 😁 - per-seph-o-nee

Misspelt versions of normal names, hyphenated names, names with apostrophes in.

Anything that is a surname - Riley, Harrison, Carter...

Oliver, Toby, Hugo - they all all sound a bit 'round' to me when I hear them. I realise this doesn't make sense.

Sophia, Ava and Olivia.

There are so many of these where I live. It's put me right off them. They're like the sort of names you call your DD when you can't be bothered to think of anything else.

Oh and Josh

Surnames for first names

...ayden names (Caden, Bayden), double barrel names (Mary-Lou, Honey-Boo), spelt wrong names (Jaxson, Sharlott), and names that aren't names (Malm, Poang).

Finn, Flynn, Finlay and Finley

Caden, Jayden, Brayden etc

Who decides what the 'correct' spelling is?

Jeremy is a name for arseholes. I've never known a nice one.
