I love this thread as it's so irrational 😂 (unless you had a vile boyfriend called Luke) it's so subjective but funny to see.

I really dislike the name Edward (even though I know it's meant to be a classy classic)
I just hate the 2 sounds.

Also Phoebe, fee-bee 🤮

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
I think that with the Welsh accent too. It tends to either end up as Lewk or Loooook.

That would be some regional Lancashire accents. Some scousers say bewk for book and cewk for cook, seems to be dying out, but look is always a homophone of luck.

I always picked that for writing stories! My bestie in primary was Edwin.

That reminds of Rachel’s sister in Friends. She kept getting Phoebe’s name wrong and everytime Phoebe corrected her by saying “FEEEEE-BEEEEE” she would turn to the others and say “why does she keep making that noise?”

I hate Luke because it sounds like puke 😂
That's why I hate it too. I also really dislike the "u" sound generally. Especially at the end of names. "Edu" and "Manu" make me feel physically ill. I also hate "Jacob" for the "ub" ending.

I'm on a few groups on Facebook, and expectant mothers are always asking for name suggestions and there's some people that double barrel anything with a wotsit-louise, wotsit-mae, wotsit-rose and it's just so tacky and unoriginal IMO. Don't the double-barrelled second part of the names get dropped as the kid gets older?

I noticed all the John-Pauls from the 80s are just John now.

All of them but Hunter seems to be popular recently. Urgh, it's so try hard.

we didn't put Rebecca on our list of names for this reason! His side are scouse and the thoughts of having to hear "re-bekkkkkkca" or "beckkkky" forever made me want to vomit.

I know someone who called their daughter Hazel-Grace during the 2012 FIOS hype. She was born early and quite unwell and they STILL named her Hazel-Grace and insist on calling her it every. single. time. She's never been just Hazel.
