Boys names you hate.

[LetThereBeRock]

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

Oh I see.

Tom, James & David are in a completely different league to Charlie.

I know two sets of brothers named Charlie and Alfie.

See Charles and Alfred are used by completely different people to Charlie & Alfie. As are Billy and William. Not the same names at all.

Charlie
Will
Joe
Alfie
Brayden
Jayden
Joshua
Jamie
Cael
Callum
Cade
Harry/Freddie (dog names)
George

basically when children are called the shortened version as their "proper" name. My ds is Samuel, we call him Sam but his name is Samuel.

My DS's name isn't on here (yet!) - YAY!!

I dislike most boys names beginning with a 'K' - sorry

My ds's name isn't here yet either!

My dh's name has poped up once, it's an unusual name so I'm surprised. Didn't tell him!

Please excuse my typing above, I'm exhausted today!

Maisie - my sons name is in greek mythology the Iliiad also Shakespeare and old English is that still trying too hard?

my 'ordinary' names have appeared on here my less common have not

What a pleasant thread
Hope you are all pleased with yourselves.

I love the name Sebastian, wouldn't use it though.

Really don't like Jamie, Bobbie, you know herbietea, you're right it's the ie ending, Archie, Freddie.

Kevin
Hugo
Ivan
Brandon
Xander
Charlie

Wayne/Shane/Dwayne
Gary/Barry/Larry
Kayden/Jayden/Braydon
Luke
Connor
Jordan
Tyler/Taylor
Alf ie/Archie/Charlie/Freddie/Willie

Any shortened version of perfectly good names.

Eg Charlie, Alfie, Billy
Any hyphenated names such as Billy-Jo.
Old grandad names such as Arthur and Albert.
Made-up sounding names eg Cayden, Braydon or any names ending in on an or en for that matter!

My DS is Samuel called Sam as well.

Actually, 60Foot, I don't think it's been that bad of a thread. I'm not offended if people don't like the names I've chosen, and so far I haven't seen anyone saying "Anyone who names their kid such-and-such is a total frigging idiot" or anything. Just, "these are names I don't personally care for."

Has nobody been along to tell you off for being cruel to the working classes yet? Tut tut, the MN bleeding-heart police have obviously taken their eyes off the ball. Probably all still locked in the loo crying over Ham and Clegg.

God, feel sorry for all the mums of Caidens and Braydens reading this

I don't really 'hate' any names. You can dislike a name intensely, but then meet someone lovely with that name and it totally changes your feelings about it.

I am generally not a fan of surnames as first names (Harrison, Mason etc), or anglicized Irish names (Caitlin as 'Kate-Lynn', Niamh spelled Neve etc) but hey, each to their own.

I don't like names that are too short to be a whole name (I'm one of those has to have a full name) like Jai or Kai.

Also, names that are surnames, but not ones like Mackenzie or Tyler(Wouldn't pick them myself but it's not offensive) but my DP's surname is Williams, so not William (William Williams haha) and my friends surname is Wain (Wayne Wain).

I love Louis (pronounced Louie, not Lewis) but we're having a girl so boys names are irrelevant for me anyway hehe

I really don't like the idea of listing a whole bunch of names you don't like, or in some cases 'hate'. We all have our preferences and rational or irrational dislikes, but why make them public? It's a free MN though, so I can just ignore the thread, I do know that.

Just wanted to say that I used to dislike a particular boy's name, but I have now started feeling more neutral about it simply because dd has a huge crush on a lovely boy bearing that name....

so ARE there any boys names left that haven't been mentioned on this thread that I can call my ds3 and then I won't offend a single person on MN

i dont think this thread is offensive - it is lighthearted and anyone that thinks a)that it is possible to find a name that every single person will like or b) gives that much of a shit about other people's opinions shouldn't be on this thread imo

Hold your heads up high mothers of the
-aydens!! (I know a nice Hayden actually)

I cannot stand Louis. The most weak sounding boys name possible!

It actually makes me shudder writing it, saying it I makes me want to do a baby voice.
