What names come to mind that you dislike?

If your/your DC's name comes up, don't be offended, not everyone can like it!

Tyler
Kai
McKenzie
Bailey
Taylor
Blake

I couldn't care less if peple odn't like my DC's names because I do.

some people are jsut too sensitive.

If someone asked, "what fornt door colour don't you like" I would say yellow, but would a yellow front door owner be upset by that? I doubt it ...because they like it.

I don't like people saying my own name is "bleugh, uninteresting and grey", though. (Which has been said on here). And I'm not talking about Lynette. (Which is an awful name! )

Bigusbumus i used to hate Noah with a vengence but now it has wriggled its way into my brain and i think it goes very well with Archie....
I think it is lovely now
I dislike Alfie though.

MummikinsOopNorth was stirring lots last night on the baby names threads.
The point of this thread? To wind you up!
Ignore or discuss but don't get offended !

FWIW I get really annoyed when people say they don't like surnames as first names as if it some new fangled thing. It's been happening in Scotland for a very long time.
eg Bruce, Gordon, Martin, John, Campbell, Cameron, Lewis, Grant, Donald, Allan. I know people with these names as surnames or first names. Totally interchangeable.
I do however dislike Mc something as a first name.

BigusBumus · 11/01/2010 11:49

PIAP, actually I wish i hadn't put Noah now as its really not that bad!

But i did just think of Mason which i loathe.

I've often been told by people that they hate my DS1s name (Miles) but i am not easily offended!

motherlovebone · 11/01/2010 11:49

like Noah, makes me think Know-er

PoppyIsApain · 11/01/2010 11:53

I think Noah has to grow on you tbh, im surprised that nobody has wrote caiden as nobody liked that when i asked for opinions. just giving ideas.

Overly frilly (v. prim) names make me feel rather nauseous - like people are trying too hard.

And I don't get the whole "my child must have an original name at all costs" thing. Yes its good if its not really popular, but I say that people should pick a name they love first and foremost.

Ellenmummy · 15/01/2010 13:22

Trying too hard names or twee cutesy girly names.
