Boys names you hate.

[LetThereBeRock]

We have a thread for girls names so why not one for boys?

Me too Davey - but as a name it's OK

Jack
Alfie
Archie
Ryan
Callum
Joshua
Jayden
Jordan
Charlie
Benjamin

This is going to make me unpopular...

Oliver
Matthew
Harry
George

And to a lesser extent
Luke
James

Middle class, boring, vacuous, dull traditional names for vacuous, dull, traditional children. I know I am awful, I had to constantly grit my teeth at tots group...

I am sorry if you are reading this and have named your children any of the above. I am nice really, please don't take it personally, I'm sure your children are lovely.

My children are lovely, and whilst I may be middle class I'm not boring, vacuous or dull and neither are my children

I don't actually dislike that many names at all (which is something I've come to realise over the years of picking 2 boys names and now a girl's name and actually makes it a lot harder too!) but I guess the only kind of name I've ever thought 'Ooooooo nooo' at are ones that are just letters. I know of a little boy called 'TJ'..........

What a boring world it would be if we all liked the same names

Btw I'm pretty sure that my ds2 name counts as one lots of people wouldn't like as it has the 'surname' connotation (Sawyer) but I don't mind! I like it

Pointless getting offended over someone not liking your child's name as there is always SOMEONE who won't like it, so who cares !

Archie
Stephen/Steven
Robert

Only one DS is mentioned, though DH (Fimbo, how very dare you?), my Dad and all 3 of my brothers are mentioned.

If I had another DS he would have been Cassius, think it is lovely.

Ummm, boys names I dislike:

Ethan
Wayne/Dwayne
Gavin
Mervin

Loads more but have to go and see to my vacuous, dull, traditional DS1

Seth
and
Joel

both hard to say and weird sounds.

Why is Seth hard to say?

It's just feels weird with the 'sss' sound and then the 'th'.

Obviously I can say it, but it deosn't feel a comfortable name to say to me.

Crikey my DS's names are featured over and over...who knew they were so despised!!!

Rubbish boys names IMO

Old school horrible like Wayne, Warren, Dean, Shane
New and horrible - Kai, Tyler, Harrison, Lewis, Jayden (all sound they have Asbos)

I irrationally hate Nathan and Nathaniel and
Jamie as a proper name rather than a nickname

Lewis is not a new name my Db is 52 so hardly new

Lewis is a very old, traditional Scottish name! Certainly not new and Asboesque

I agree that Nigel is the worse man's name EVER. and can you imagine having a cute baby boy and naming him Nigel!! Surely noone has done this in the last 40 years have they?

Right then you lot - I am currently looking for a name for ds3 who is on his way - I challenge you to find me a name that is not mentioned anywhere on this thread so far! (ds1 (surprisingly) and ds2's names not mentioned (not surprisingly as bit made up'ee/surnamey so would be hated I am sure)

Sorry usualsuspect!

Don't think there are that many older ones about are there?? It's very very common amongst the under 10's.

It just smacks of tearaway to me!

I stand corrected Maisie but I confess to being ignorant of all matters Scottish

Still sounds like a twocker to me though

twosofar it's pretty common in Scotland. There were lots of Lewises at my school (I'm in my 30s).

Sorry Scottish folk - I am wrong!!!

Don't like this thread. It's not the same as the ones where people are asking for opinions on names - this is more direct. My DS's name has been mentioned and I can't bear anyone thinking that they'd "hate" something about him
(Juicy12 goes off to contemplate why she's found this so sad. As you were!!)

Am aghast that anyone hates the name Jack! Is perfect IMO. (No, I don't have one, but it's on the shortlist for the next one.)

Cheerful, I think poeople hate it because there are millions of them now.

I was at university with a guy called Jack (am in my 30's) and I thought it was really cool.

Just feels a bit less cool when there are 3 per class

I can't believe anyone still has Jack on their shortlist. WHY?

The reason I dislike the name (and I always have, even before it became just too popular) is because it sounds flat. It is s falt boring name.

terence
trevor

Wayne
Shane
Gary
Barry
AnTHony
Luke
Connor
Jordan
Taylor
Orin

Frightfully offended that both my ds names are on here.

In retrospect I should have gone for Grendel and Voldemort
