what girls names do you NOT like?

[CarrieDaBabi]

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

I have an irrational dislike of Charlotte, although I know that I am in a massive minority. Sorry to all Charlottes out there, especially as my name is one that is often mentioned in the "what goes with what" name threads alongside Charlotte.

Rochelle and Aleasha

and Bronwyn

I think some names that are inherently inoffensive really rile me when they turn into total bandwagon names.

Maia/Maya/whatever - just stop already, we have enough! Likewise Eve, though I used to like it.

Madison - what? Why is this a name? And the same goes for girls called Mackenzie and Piper, Parker, Plumber etc.

Lola - just can't get past the cutesiness/sex worker vibes it gives off. In 25 years there are going to be all kinds of lawyers and teachers and police officers called Lola and I'm convinced it will still sound that way.

Oh dear, my name is on here more than once, but I'm ok

I'd be a bit gutted if DD's name was on here - there are one or two on people's lists that I'm considering for the next one if it's a girl though...

I dislike names that have odd spellings - e.g. a friend wanted 'Jorja' for Georgia and also double-barrelled names, e.g. Kerry-Anne though I'm not sure why as Kerry-Anne is quite a pretty name.

Avril is the pits.
DD's name is on the list,but is lovely

Any hyphen names - Daisy-Rose, Daisy-Mai, Sarah-Lou , also Molly . Milly , Tilly

I know a Lola and every time I see her I have to stop myself from singing Barry Manilow

I have taught a Jorja. Apparently, so the Reception teacher told me, the mum heard it, liked it and just assumed that was the correct spelling.

Of all the 'popular' names right now I can't for the life of me understand why someone would call a baby girl 'Matilda'. It doesn't look or sound pretty, and Mattie is an awful nn.

Also loathe Erica (reminds me of ginger pubes - not sure why) and not very keen on Millie (too mousey)or Martha.

I don't like pretty flowery names.

things like Daisy, Poppy, Maisie.

androgynous (sic) names

names which are mispelled on purpose 'to be different'

non traditonal hyphenated names 'britney-charmaine' etc

Olivia
Jessica
Leslie
Courtney
Chelsea
Samantha
Maddison, Britany- or anything typically American
Maureen

and my real pet hate - Jordan.

No offence to anyone of course, the name does not reflect the person.

Flower / cutesy names: Poppy, Daisy, Ivy, Petal, Iris, Violet, Lily, Rainbow, Boo, Honey, Millie, Pixie...

V names: Violet, Verity

K names: all of them, except Kate which is lovely. Would always, always choose, for example, Catherine over Katherine.

'Quirky' spellings: e.g. 'yn' endings and general butcherings of originally nice names - Ellyse for Alice, etc, etc.

Hypenated madness: Daisy-Mae, Ella-Rae

Double names which aren't even hyphenated: Sarah Jane, Sarah Louise, etc, etc. Lovely by themselves - no need to double up

Old lady not chic in the slightest: Ruby, Pearl, Ivy, Hilda, Beryl, Sybil, Maud, Mabel, Morag

Alicia, Aleesha, Elisha, and all permutations

Stripper names: Lola, Tallulah, Delilah

'Trendy' names: Darcy, Scarlett, Sienna and all others which will date them horrifically

Random others: Imogen, Charlotte, Ella (such a non name), Jenna, Florence, Deborah

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

For what it's worth, my own name has been mentioned once (more if you take other spellings) - but it seems to be ubiquitous now so hardly surprising some people don't like it, whereas it was rare as hen's teeth in my day. DD-to-be's name hasn't been mentioned at all, and it is a classic name - not at all unusual.

My granny's name has been said by quite a few to be awful. But I think she would have agreed .

DD's name has been mentioned a few times.

My mum's name has been mentioned - she doesn't like it much either.

My name has been mentioned and people think it should be spelled with a C . It begins with a K

I dont like Matilda either cannot understand why anyone would want to name a baby girl this other than some may like the shortened version as Tilly but I dont like that either. Another I dont like for the same reason is Martha.The name Hannah always reminds me of that really ugly doll on that BBC childrens programme (cant remember the name of it only it had windows where you had to guess which window it is today! )

My name is on here 3 times, and DD's once

I hate;
Leslie
Jenny
Tonya (why o why?)
Tanya
Ruby
Lottie
Lauren
Ella/Ellie
Laura
Kelly (Kel is even worse)
Jo/Joanne
Maude
Melody
Melanie
Nicky
Mary
Diane (but like Diana)
Rita
Ruth
Elaine
Vicky
Emma
Karen
Sue
Melinda
Hannah
Sadie
And loads of others. Also hate most of the old lady names and made up names. And American ghetto made up nonsense names.
I seem to dislike a lot of names ending in y or ie for some reason!
No-one likes my DD's name, I can tell by the look on their faces when I introduce her!!
I hate my own name so your all allowed to dislike it too

And I can spell really- YOU'RE - see??

Matilda. It feels entirely wrong when I say it, It's an ugly word.

Newish names include

Charley-Marie
Poppy
Lillie/Lily
Paige
Lola/Lila
Daisy
Tilly
Ellie
Courtney

Old er names include

Brenda
Joyce
Florence
Matilda
Patricia
Evelyn
Janice
Glenda
Lynne
Carol

This is an interesting thread. My name has been mentioned, one of my dd's names has been mentioned quite a few times and my granny's name has even been mentioned!

I'm finding it quite interesting to be honest.
