names you can’t stand : Most liked Posts

Midwife here so get to witness lots of gorgeous names as well as the sublimely ridiculous. All time favourite has to be the lady who love Beyoncé and Shakera so called her baby Shabonce

I hate the American trend for names ending in "-yn".

Madisyn
Jordyn
Brandyn
Addisyn

Reminds me of Slimming World syns.

Anything-mae- just sounds Chavvy (sorry offend anyone with that term)
Jayden

And even worse in North America where it's pronounced 'grem'

Same as when American's pronounce Craig as 'Creg', it's a shite name to start with but that takes the biscuit.

Neveah
Chavvy double barrelled first names usually ending in -Mae or -Lou
Lexie - sounds like a stripper
Tyler
Boys’ full first names being Freddie/Teddy/Archie, it’s cute now but imagine making a CV with that when they’re older
Boys named after the dad who has a chavvy name anyway e.g. Kyle Jr (pronounced JOONYAH)

Anyway, shoot me now

People who aren’t Irish giving their kids really ridiculously spelt Irish names. Eg Aoife and Eilidh (pronounced aylee looool). How many people in England are going to know it’s aylee and not eyelid??

I’m going to be *that* person but Eilidh is Scottish, not Irish.
Being a Scot I’ve met my fair share of girls named Eilidh. Most people know how to pronounce it here as it’s common, but when folk struggle, it’s pronounced for them and then it’s never an issue.

What I hate is when people (adults) look at Irish/Scottish/Welsh or any “foreign” names and make a production like “what the hell is THAT?!?” Instead of asking politely how to pronounce their name. It’s rude as hell and makes folk just look ignorant (in my view) The examples above, is it seriously a possibility that people are naming their child eyelid?

Would much prefer an Aofie or Eilidh over another Aimae-Lexii or some other misspelt easy to pronounce in English monstrosity.

Kayden, Kryan, Kodey, Logan, Rogan, Riley, Reegan, Jayden just to name a few

I know of someone who has called their little boy..... Boi. So so cruel to do that imo. Imagine him running off in Lidl and then screeching "Boi, come here" just terrible. They've set him up for a lifetime of bullying

i know this has probably been said but: naveah omg can’t stand it

I think Ephie’s rather cute but hate the person it’s named after. Isn’t Effy short for something?

Yes, I think its Effoff.

Wilby - it’s not a real name Rachaele Shambleton Also Rachaele while we’re at it - it’s Rachel or Rachael no need for any other letters.

Niamh pronounced Neev - it makes zero sense.

Siobhan pronounced Shivon - I personally just think it’s a really harsh sounding name but also again SPELLING.

do you see a theme with my issues with names? Haha

It also goes for names like Connor/Conner/Coner/Conor. Why give your kid a name that has a million spellings?

Just to add my name is Rachel so obviously in my mind that is the correct spelling

Late to the thread but this is quite offensive.
Name three Irish names and stating that these names “don’t make sense, sound harsh” and criticising the spellings of them, it is quite xenophobic actually.
Irish names are Irish names, they are not here to be anglicised or to cater to English people. I’m sorry you don’t understand basic differences in language and pronunciation but writing posts like this is quite problematic

KEITH. Every Keith I've ever met is a complete bellend!

Just imagine ..." hi everyone it's twins
Neveah , its heaven spelled backwards and Lana its anal spelled backwards"

I also have to add I really don't like those names I associate with weak chinned, middle class people with nut allergies - Rueben, Luca, Angus, Isabelle, Maddison, Arrabella... just nope.

Overheard in Tesco - Bow and his little brother .... Arrow. Dad was yelling at them when they were running up and down the aisles!
I had to check with the assistant stood next to me that I hadn’t misheard! She was struggling to keep a straight face

Someone I work with has a little boy called Teddy (don’t hate it don’t love it) but the girl he sits next to in his class is called Dolly . Teddy and Dolly

Alice. Absolute twat of a name. Never met an Alice that I liked.

Ok so no offence to anyone but I can’t stand the names alfie because it’s so so common for both baby boys and dogs also the girls name Olivia I just hate it probably cuz a horrible girl at school was called it sorry please no one hate me I can’t help it

I knew siblings called Sharon Darren and Karen

To be clear all okay individually but as a set?

Lyla, Myla, Nyla, Kyla, Tyla.
