Names you can’t stand #3

[Loveitme]

Sean, Shawn, Shaun.... I’m sure some one out there’s spelled it shorn
I know of a few Sean’s and they were nob heads so that’s why I don’t like the name!

I’ve been out with two and they were both absolute arseholes

Craig .
hit like if you’ve ever met a twat called Craig

 

[MummaNoggins]

I know a 6 Yr old called Braxton I always want to shout 'hicks' when she's screaming his name across the school yard

 

[ReginaPhalangee]

Luke

I know someone with a scouse accent who named her kid Luke. Why would you do that he’s going to be confused his whole life about where he’s meant to look

 

[Chinese_whispers]

Met a baby named Ian yesterday. Didn’t seem right

 

[Former_Antelopee]

I love old people names for dogs and cats! Norman, Eric, Frank, Doris, Mavis etc!

I want to call my future dog Eileen so I can shout ‘come on Eileen’ to it

 

[davidsdead]

Twins in my kids school called Annie and Johnboy. Fucking Johnboy!!

 

[Fbhf_]

The name Lana.

it sounds like llama and rhymes with banana. It's also very boring.

It’s also anal backwards

 

[Penguin86]

A girl I used to know called her son Stanley. Recently they chose a new name and changed it by deed poll....he's now called Jupiter

 

[purpleaubergine]

Bear (why would you name your child after a animal/toy)

 

[Doc]

My very scientific study (working for years in a school) has proven that every Jayden is an irritating little shit and about 3/4 of Zac/Zacharys are budding psychos.

 

[Raininvain]

Scout- who in their right mind would call a baby girl this?
Anything really naff like Ella- May etc.

 

[Bobbleowl90]

Stacey.

I don’t know anybody nice called Stacey.

Sean, Shawn, Shaun.... I’m sure some one out there’s spelled it shorn

[Lolly505]

A new spin on 'Nevaeh'

 

[Lanalocksley]

Navaeh usually followed with "its heaven spelt backwards"
Well evaworcim is microwave spelt backwards doesn't mean I want to call my kid it

 

[OwlWatcher23]

Yes!! I once saw a girl on TV called Kynnydy (Kennedy) and seen Kyndyl (Kendall) too

Kyndyl looks like it should be a town in Wales

 

[Alexaj]

I know a bleu as a first name

That's even worse because it's basically Bleurgh.

 

[Gamu]

I know a girl named Neveah and we just call her heaven backwards as in " I saw heaven backwards the other day"

 

[Mayday]

Different to the names you hate thread - what are the worst names you've come across? Can be celebrity names or not.

Huckleberry - I cringe every time.
Gravity + Rumble Honey - Sisters. I reckon they'll go by Vee and Bee when they're older.
Khaleesi - I think someone in my town named their kid this...its not even a name!
Daenerys - The better of the two but still, same as above.
X Æ A-12 - Self-explanatory really.
Bronx Mowgli
Pilot Inspektor
Kharringtyn-Mckhynleigh Khaybryn, Khayleigh Huntyr + Kheestyn-McKhormyck - Cue them getting mad that they've been misspelled by someone.
Kemistry - Why is it spelt with a K? Who knows.
Phillisity - I think its supposed to be like Felicity?

 

[Meh]

True enough, but if you’re in England you’re setting your child up for a world of pain. ‘Oh my names aylee spelled the Scottish way.’...for the next 70 years. It’s just cruel.

Cruel is a bit of a stretch. Of the things parents could do to a kid, calling them a Celtic name in England doesn’t meet that definition.

I mean, are we not one big diverse “better together” nation after all? I don’t lose my mind when I come across Welsh or Irish names. If I can’t say it, I’ll ask the person how to say it. If anything, turn it into a wee conversation opener. Allow kids to make new friends and all. I don’t think that’s cruelty.

This 100%. I remember a substitute teacher in school doing the roll call and he got to a girl called Caoimhe, he paused and snorted and said "I'm not saying that, ridiculous" the girl was so embarrassed - even when she told him how it was pronounced he laughed again in a really derisive way. (This was a mixed religion secondary school in Northern Ireland with a majority protestant students/teachers so you can imagine how all this was perceived...)

That is so shit! Honestly hope he’s not teaching still. He’ll be over run with Caoimhe’s now Just refusing to take register!
