No rman

And anything ending in -ayne:

Both my DSs are on here - no real surprise - as even my mum thought they were middle aged and boring. We're ok, though, as my cunning plan of picking such dreadful names that they'd be the only ones in their school has worked brilliantly mwahahaha...

Oooh lots,
Brayden, Cayden, Brandon, Mason, Harley, Marley, Riley, Taylor, Finley, Harrison, Wayne, Bryn, Todd, Ross, Christian,Scott.......
will stop now

old man's names like ernest or albert.

DS's name isn't in any of the posts (so far)...

Wayne
Reggie
Freddie
Alfie
Arthur
Charlie
Hector
Stanley
Paul
John
Ronnie

Tyler
Taylor
Eric
John
Terry
Dan
Evan
Griffin
Dudley
Edward
Brian
Liam
Lucas (I know four babies born and given this name in the past year)

...I can't stand the popular names. Once I found out Oliver was popular it immediately lost its luster for me. The best boys names are usually unpopular classic names I feel...

I hate all the thuggish boys names. The teenage thugs round here are called Adam, Liam, Jack and Jake.

Anything American

Anything made-up, or with a you-neeq spelling

Anything from Greek or Roman mythology - Trying Far Too Hard

Cyril, Trevor, Dennis and Nigel are particularly awful though (sorry, FIL )

dodgy geezer names like
lee
dave
kev
darren
gavin
barry
pete
trevor
wayne

tyson- rapist

pretentious new incarnations of old names like
oscar
alfie
albie
freddie

americzan names like
chad
dash
cash
chase

I knew Ds's name would be here
Theres lots of boys names that are nice but sound awful when pronounced in the local accent so I would never call a son a name with an 'a' sound in it like Charlie or James, I know a Shay which sounds particularly bad.

I really dislike Jonty/Monty/StJohn/Ralph if pronounced Rafe/anything Brooklynesque

2 of my 4 DS's are here. Waiting to see if I can shout BINGO!

Ds's name has only cropped up once, thankfully! I would echo what Maisiethemorningsidecat said.

I also can't stand Bruce or Stuart.

notso- where are you from? Trying to work out what accent would make those names sound bad!

Amazed that my DS's very common popular name not mentioned yet.

I know of someone who's just had a baby and named him Vinnie. I don't hate it, but I couldn't help thinking of Vinnie Jones, rather than a cute baby boy.

Really dislike Gordon.
