What name do you really dislike?

I don't like the name Dustin, I just think of dustbin.
What name do you really dislike?

Oh and yes to whoever mentioned Jaxson, Jayson, Jayden, Kayden etc. I just don't like them though, no reason.

This. Not a particularly nice thread to be honest.

I am trying to imagine a baby Colin or Barry now! 😁

Basically anything that celebrities use or that's been lifted from an American TV series and then done to death on my council estate.

My whole family’s names have been mentioned! 🤣

i love the name Alice but find Lucy and Sophie really insipid.

Just heard on radio someone with a child called Dignity, which I thought was very odd.

Very traditional in Ireland and Scotland actually. Imported to America by them.

Yes. Awful but sadly now ubiquitous

My name has been mentioned more than once 🤣

Agree with Rose and Mae as middle names. Same as my middle name (Louise) in the early 90s- everybody used it! Why does this happen? Why did everyone just decide that Louise was the middle name of choice.

Girls' names that are surnames eg MacKenzie or Cassidy or cities eg London, Paris

Jimberly

George. It's so ubiquitous feel I can say this without offending the many thousands of Georges and George-parents out there. Far more of you think it's fine than that it's awful. For me, it's a stodgy, 'meat-and-two-veg, followed up by suet pudding' kind of a name. But I am in the minority.

Ottilie
anything like Bailey, Hayley etc
and for some reason Caroline but can’t put my finger on why

My names been mentioned but that's fine I hate it too.
I also hate:-

Susan
Wendy
Nora
Edna
Vera
Maureen
Margaret
Jean

all frumpy old womens names

George! Just can't stand it.

Also surnames as first names.

Also made up American-type names.

Also yooneek spellings of established names.

Based purely on experience:

Ellen: I've only known three but everyone of them has been totally batshit crazy
Stephen: the name of the school bully and again never met a nice one.

Apart form that Im pretty chill, I gave my DD a fairy boring name but I don't mind if people want something a bit different.

Phoebe. I just hear "feeble", which is not a good association.

Also can't stand the surnames as names thing. I couldn't really say why but I can't bear it. My least favourite is Harrison.

What a horrible thread.

I dislike loads of names, but as I know full well that hundreds of Mumsnetters will have those names themselves, or will have chosen them for their children, or will love someone with those names, I'm not about to say what they are.

I like tradional strong-sounding names so tend to dislike most modern names or diminutives.

So I like Joanna and Suzannah but not Joanne and Suzanne so much .

I like Paula but not Paulette or Pauline.

Names like Jackson and Maisey are too modern for me. Navaeh is ridiculous.

Not keen on unisex names like Taylor, Madison, Mason, River.

Delilah. There's a few at my youngest's school and I just find it over the top and a mouthful. I also hate Keith. It's like a sound, not a word.
