what is the most over-rated name in your opinion?

[WhatsAllThisThen]

.

See, I lurve the name Freya. Cant ever use it though. Damn the stupid husband with his surname starting with "F"!

My name has been mentioned too Dizzy if it makes you feel better

I have a Nancy too and am not at all offended. Different strokes and all that.

[Lulu - you have impeccable taste ]

I'm not offended or bothered - I just don't see the point of these threads [dunce emoticon]

yes, you're here OP but you havne't contributed anything yourself have you

pointless and unkind thread IMO.

Oh well

I happily concur it is a completely pointless thread.

I won't be in the least offended if you choose to leave and/or hide it.

agamemnon.

he was a bit of a twat, eh?

Was he something to do with the Fall of Troy?

I'm not really offended.

I didn't pick the names I gave to my children because I wanted everyone to like what they were called - if I did, I'd've let my DH pick the really safe names he has a preference for (apart from 'Yvonne', but we'll gloss over that).

DD wants to name any future sister she may have, and is adamant that she wants her to be called Gracie. I've never heard that name before DD mentioned it, so I'm sure I'll suddenly stumble on lots of Gracie's.

Isabella.

aliciarrrr (or aleesha)
Oliviarrrr
Ameliarrr

disclaimer: I like these names, they are perfectly nice pretty names but they are everywhere!

Personally I'm not over-keen on some of the old-lady/gentleman chic names.

Grace

Jack Jack Jack Jack Jack Jack Jack Jack Jack

One for everyone

Ava!
Ava, Sophie!! umm.. Emily, Emma, Ella! Grace!!! Rose!!!

Harry, umm Joshua? Jack!!!

Basically the popular ones lol

What I don´t get is the new trend for old people names.
Stanley, Arthur, Ada, Hilda...

Revolting, revolting, revolting.

Not cool but cruel.

Ava, Isabelle/a, Isla.
Joshua, Lucas.

Ellen. Very plain, ordinary name in my opinion. But then again, one of my favourite names is Jane!

Also, don't see why people are criticising this thread when the one on names people don't like got no criticism.

I don't know what you mean by over-rated.

Do you mean:

• people think it's classy but it ain't?

• people think it's unusual but it ain't?

• people think it's quirky but it ain't?

• people think it's a name that will automatically make their child cool, clever, sexy and succesful in later life and that bestowing that name is all they as the parent have to do to for this to happen, whereas their first teacher will immediately privately label them with a big A for ASBO?
