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

Ian, Dave, Phil Sebastian , Gertrude , Colin Steve

I think that highland cows are great, thanks very much! I take it you are a Sarah?

Logan I absolutely hate it with a passion

Violet. Reminds me of violent

Gertrude - I think it’s really ugly

Hugo. I think it’s trying very hard to be posh

Seth. It reminds me of a snake

Plus silly posh names like Araminta, Atticus, Peregrine and Olympia.

😂😂 don’t think I’ve ever come across one of these as a name of a person! Isn’t a peregrine a falcon?? They are slightly strange for human names!

Yes. I think this is one I def agree with.

Elouise. It's just Louise with an E on it 😭

Oh and Leighton!

Fleur. It's just such a horrible sound, like ugh.

Ella/Elle is just such a nothing name. You've literally just called your baby "She".

Malcolm
Travis
Beverly
Derek
Avril
Margery

Except it’s not. It’s actually spelt as Eloise and has nothing to do with Louise.

I used to know a Peregrine! He had a brother called Merlin. Apparently they were named after the planes, rather than the birds

My name, both my parents' names and both my children's middle names have been mentioned, along with some hurtful comments. You're right.

What a horrible thread. Totally unnecessary. People like and dislike all kinds of things but usually keep the to themselves so as not to hurt other people.

Are you new here?

@SophiaJ8 nope. Been here for about 16 years, you?

I love Arlo !!!! 😂😂😂🥴
Good job I'm too old for a baby

Hate Poppy. So twee. And surnames as names - like Mason.

Wow! What fabulously eccentric names!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Are you sure it's an American tradition? It happens in Scotland so I wonder if it originated there and then was adopted in America

Natalie, no real reason it just sounds ugly to me.

Hugo
Leslie
Chantelle

I don't like names such as Corvette, Porsche or Chelsea ( babies named after cars, football teams etc). Also names not conventional spelling ie Rebekka rather than Rebecca ( it's not the names in these instances, just the spelling)!

Actually I've not come across a surname as first name in Ireland. Might happen in Northern Ireland?
