Names you can’t stand #2

[PrincessCharming]

I’d Nevaeh heard of it until this thread.

See what I did there?

 

[ChubClubThug]

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 just pissed myself laughing at this

I know sisters called Emma and Gemma.

And a sister/brother called Andrew and Andrea.

Also a set of siblings we called the Victorian kids because all their names were so 19th century - from memory it was Bertie, Millie, Algie, and another one whose name I've forgotten. Probably something like Maudie

I knew someone who worked with a chap called Neil Downe. Did his parents just not think? I mean, Neil's not the best name - but when your surname is Down(e)? Really?!

I know someone who called their son Benyamin. Confined to a life of explaining “no, no, it’s not Benjamin, it’s Benyamin, yes said exactly like Benjamin but with a Y not a J”. He’s recently named a block of flats after his son and it would piss me off no end if I lived there and had to have the same conversation every time I gave my address.

That’s the actual original spelling of the name though, in Hebrew.

I hate that the name Ronnie is becoming so popular. Reminds me of a pervy uncle, or the Kray twins.

I was out for a walk with my son last week and I heard a parent calling to their twin children who were named Simba and Nala

 

[Sparks]

I went to school with a girl called Caledonia
Had a taxi driver who took great pride in telling us that his daughter is called Khaleesi and there was a story about her in the Daily Mail. I dread to think what the comments on that article were like also heard of a girl called Pocahontas
The newest member of my family is called Otto. I'm still a bit 'wtf?' about that
And I would add my own name but it's already been mentioned a few times

My youngest son has a girl in his class named Khaleesi, parents should have finished GoT before naming their child after the mad queen

 

[littlemissgem]

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

My cat is called Alfie. I've had so many people over the years comment about it normally being a dog name.

I've never met a Daniel or a Rebecca/Becky that hasn't been a completely shitty human being.

There was a woman on the bus once with three children: Britney, Whitney and Mariah... I nearly laughed in her face.

 

[Oohthedrama]

Wow you’re all vicious.

but continue here I suppose

unless you have a really shit name that’s been dragged on thread one, should there be a trigger warning for Meghan and Isla. As before, off you fuck Meghan and Isla, go sit with Angel and Janice

 

[Hastaggifted]

There's a boy in my sons year called Wayne. IMAGINE carrying a precious baby for 9 months, going through labour, looking at your beautiful boy and calling him WAYNE.

 

[Daisyxo]

Twins called Autymn-Skyee and Summa-Reign. For fucks sake.

 

[Candytuft]

A relative has called her baby Yennefer.
I don’t like it, even if the baby is cute.
Daft spellings get on my nerves.
Lillee. Dayzee. Poppee. Louee. I know all those kids. Going to have to spell their names forever.
I once enrolled a little lad called Toady at school. Toady. Sheesh.

 

[dg87]

One of my relatives is a teacher and had twins called Evan and Elle in her class... seems ok until you say them together out loud

 

[Meh]

I know someone with a kid named laiughton (layton)
Girl called atlanta ocean destiny it sounds like the name of a cruise ship
Little girl called paisley on cards it looks like parsley

Paisley... that’s a crime to call a child that.

Paisley is such, ahem a historically deprived area in West Scotland. Paisley and their wee sister... Govan.

 

[CarrieW24]

we'll find a Chlamydia soon.....

And a Koronavyrus Mae... Waiting for it!

 

[kat.becs]

Gracie! Gracie is a nickname why are you giving your child’s nickname as a given name. Imagine introducing yourself as a doctor Gracie or a nurse Gracie or a mortgage advisor Gracie it would just sound like someone being overly friendly to me before they knew me and creep me out to be honest! Stick with Grace and nickname it Gracie

Oh good one. Same with Evie. So. Many. Evie’s. Name the child Eve or Eva ffs!!

[So so able]

I've just come across someone called Churnette . . .

Mum swung baseball bat when altercation between parents turned violent

Churnette Symington waved the weapon at fellow adults after mums and dads became involved in an argument between teenage girls in Newcastle's west end

When I was a teenager I was determined I was going to name my daughter Heaven Leigh
