Unattracrive Baby Names

[WakyWally]

Does anyone else dislike these baby names? Albie, Willow, Chase, Cody, Cory, Talullah, Olive, Ivy, Elsie, Belle, Autumn, Summer, Teddy, Ronnie and Reggie? Bring back proper, solid names. Such as Hannah, Jane, Caroline and Kate!!!

Lots of parents forget that the baby they are naming will be an adult in 18 years. Hate Teddy

Not really. Variety is the spice of life.

They are just fashionable names at the moment. Willow and Olive are the new Jennifer and Louise.

And Jennifer and Louise will be the new Jean and Margaret when they reach OAP age.

Surely some of the names you mention are as solid and traditional - Olive, Elsie and Ivy were the names of grandmothers when I was a girl.

I like most of them apart from Cory, Cody and Chase. Love the name Talulah 😁.

Classic names are fine too but each to their own. I have one DC with a classic name and one with a not so popular name.

Some of them aren’t to my taste, but I also find Caroline and Jane dreary. That’s the thing with names…they’re down to personal taste.

Teddy isn’t to my taste, but Ted is a perfectly reasonable name for an adult, I’d have thought.

I like Willow, Olive, Ivy and Teddy

I can't imagine a baby or child in 2023 called Jane

I know a 3yo Jane! I like it. I think partly named for Captain Janeway in Star Trek, who was a great, strong, fully realised female character.

Names are cyclical. Fine not to like a current trend, another one will be along soon enough.

Does anyone else dislike these baby names? Hannah, Jane, Caroline and Kate. Let's have names which are interesting and not done to death like Artemis Lysander, Marina, Hector, and Vita.

Or we could just acknowledge that different people have different tastes and will name their babies accordingly. I wouldn't use a single name in your OP, but they're all fine. The variety of names being given to babies is wider than ever and that's a great thing. Especially as names are there to identify a person. And if (for whatever reason) the baby grows up and doesn't like their name, they can change it. It's free and simple to do.

I don't love any of those names, but quite like Teddy (as a nn for Edward or Edmund). But I don't hate them either.

I do love 'boring' classic names, though, like Jane, Anna, James, Alexander etc

Tallulah and Willow are perhaps more American names? I think they are lovely.

I have a first name that was super popular in my region in my home country between 1880 and 1905. Nowadays, not so much. So now I have quite an unusual name, but if I were born in 1890, it would have been a common one.

Love the name Belle! It was in our top 3 for both our daughters.

Hannah and Jane are incredibly boring names.

I quite like Albie, Ivy, Elsie, Teddy, Ronnie but like Hannah, Jane, Caroline and Kate too

Willow, Autumn and Tallulah are at least quite euphonious. I thought this thread was going to be about Agnes, Maude and the like. I suppose a name like Jane or Sarah just seems a bit dull when there are so many alternatives and less "traditional" names are widely accepted.

Yep detest them all. Also recently met a baby called Mable. Beyond awful.

I can only think of my friend’s Golden Retriever called Willow. 🐾

I prefer them all to Hannah, Jane, Caroline and Kate tbh

I much much prefer them to your names. Dreary, dreary, dreary.

What is the point in this post? legitimately asking - is it to hear people agree with you? Or what?

You don’t like some names? Ok that’s true for everyone.

this post makes no sense either as none of them have anything in common - people who like Belle may not like willow - it’s a name so it’s subjective.

even if you had asked does anyone not like Elle, Ella, El, Eleanor, that would at least make a bit more sense but even then so what? Like if fifty people said the love the names and fifty people say they hate the names how does that matter to you?

it’s just spreading negativity.

You could have asked “does anyone love the names Alexander/Jane/etc.” and had people agree with you that way, if that’s what you needed.

instead you single out names people on here will obviously be called or will have called their children and spread around sadness.

just seems so unnecessary to add this into the world.

Albie, Willow, Chase, Cody, Cory, Talullah, Olive, Ivy, Elsie, Belle, Autumn, Summer, Teddy, Ronnie and Reggie?

I don’t really like any of these but Caroline and Jane are not very nice either imo. 😬

Names are very much down to personal taste.
i don’t like Hannah. Gets stuck in my mouth…

There is nothing wrong with them, and there may well be people who think the names you like are "unattractive". I like some old classic names, others I don't. I think it would be a dull world if everyone had the same type of name.

The only decent name on either list is Kate.

Always hate surnames used as first name.
Taylor
Benson
Smith
Bentley
Bailey
Parker

Also male names now only acceptable as female

Kimberley
Tracey
Sacha/Sasha
Jordan
Leslie (Lesley)
All good names for men..

Yet another Americanism creeping over here.

It's totally down to personal taste and whatever you call your baby some people will love it and some will hate it.
One person's 'elegant and classical' is another person's 'dreary and dull'
One person's 'cool and original' is another person's 'silly and cringey'
One person's 'bang on trend' is another person's 'boring and ubiquitous'.

The most unattractive names to me are Judith and Constance. (in sound I don't necessarily picture an unattractive person.
I detest the name Ella but I don't think its particularly unattractive I just don't like the sound.
For boys id say Ian and Henry. Ian in vibe and Henry in sound.
