what girls names do you NOT like?

[CarrieDaBabi]

lets cut to the chase and see what you do not like...

That's five!

my name is on here twice

Anyway, no more counting - I am off to go look at myself in the mirror.

I really have an irrational dislike of the names;

Rebecca

and

Jessica

I am sure they are perfectly nice really, but when there are so many lovely girls names around I always think why???

I am really surprised to see Sadie mentioned a few times. I love that name!

So each to their own nd it's a good job we aren't all the same as that would make life boring!

Oh and yes I really dislike 'modern' names like last names...

eg.
Broook
Taylor

and so on...

Ok here goes:

Ugly-sounding old lady names - Ethel, Gertrude, Hilda, Olive.

Anything double barrelled - Jamie-Lee, Carrie-Ann

Anything spelt funny

Anything that is really a boy's name (Jamie) or a surname (Morgan, Madison)

Anything overly "frilly" - Arabella, Georgiana, Mariella, you get the picture.

Names that are too obviously feminised boys' names - Nigella, Thomasina, Roberta, Edwina

Anything too "cutesy" - Poppy, Daisy, Honey, Millie - unless they also have a "proper" birth cert name.

Anything reflecting a particular virtue - Prudence, Patience, Hope.

I quite like what I think of as "bad girl" names - Tallulah, Delilah, Ruby, Roxy - but wouldn't call my child by them

I don't really like most names beginning with O or H (with a few exceptions, eg I do like Hazel and Holly)

Erm... Not sure what that leaves!

Oh yes, the cutesey names. Jamie Oliver's choices make me feel nauseous, like I've eaten too much icing (Honey Boo, Petal Blossom Rainbow). URGH

Relieved to see my name's not on here. Phew

Oh I had a hat trick all 3 DDs names on here, DD1's several times, DD2's is very uncommon as well.

When I was in hospital having DS2, the woman in the bed oppisite me was trying to decide what to call her DD, McKenzie or McKenna. If I had been heavily drugged I'd have talked her out of either. She called her McKenna.

Wow, 5 pages and no-one has mentioned my name yet!

[proud emoticon]

I don't like any names with "th" in them. (Martha, Elspeth, Theodora.) I did know a Thor once though, that was pretty cool.

Araminta or Minty because I hate the flavour with a passion (can just about stomach brushing my teeth everyday!).

My name hasn't been mentioned yet [preen]

I don't like

Sophie (terribly overused around here)
McKenzie or Kenzie (why?????)
Zoe (sometimes ppl put the double dot thing over the e, sometimes over the o)
Rita
Siobhan (its funny when people are trying to pronounce it purely from seeing the name)
Jennifer - DP loves this name, but I detest it, for reasons unknown to me
Sarah-Louise and most other hyphenated names.
Christine/Christina - something very wet sounding about it to me
Louise - Again DP loves it, but i don't

good job we had a DS

My own name

I don't think my name has been mentioned either (I'm not called Janice before anyone says that it has!).

I'm actually astounded by how friendly this thread has remained. There was a similar one a year or two ago that kicked off big time because somebody had mentioned the name of someone's stillborn child.

I hope nobody has been offended this time, but if there is someone now quietly sobbing in the corner because another mumsnetter doesn't like the name of one of their loved ones, alive or departed, please remember it is just their personal taste about a faceless name. Nobody is being nasty about any person.

Names I dislike...Chelsea, Kayleigh, Muriel, Sandra, Janice, actually there are lots I'm not keen on or wouldn't choose.

MacKenzie was my maiden name.Wasn't that keen on it as a surname but as a first name- dreadful.

natasha, hannah. amelia/amalia/amelie.

My name is on here! I don't like it either though

At least my dd's name isn't mentioned.

Oh yes, don't like Chelsea, makes you assume that the dad is a football hooligan.

Chelsey is worse

My name,both my sisters names and both my daughters names are on here

I dislike all the old lady names ..

My own name has appeared on here but I love it!
Am quite surprised by some people's choices tbh and have to say a lot of posters must go for the more wackier sounding names if they find names like Jennifer and Jessica awful!
