Names You Can't Stand #5

[grumpy-nosy-cow]

Sienna which is both nonsense ( it’s a city not a person’s name, would you call someone Oslo? Miami? Madrid?) and also misspelled ( city is called Siena )
Most people who use it have also never been there
I also can’t stand Andrea for a girl as the meaning is “vigorous man” same goes for Cecily ( the one who is blind ) or Claudia ( the one who is limping )
I often wonder how people give names without checking their meaning before.

thats really funny my sil is called Andrea and my mum thought she was a man the first time she saw her !

A school friend had an older sister who was in sixth form when we started secondary school. The sister in sixth form's best friend was called Virginia. I think it's a really pretty name, but not one that a female should get saddled with, unfortunately.

My friend was always talking about what her sister and Virginia were getting up to- they were sophisticated sixth formers compared to us 11 years olds. However, EVERY time she tired to say Virginia she would accidentally say/start to say Vagina. The she would painfully and embarrassedly backtrack to say her proper name.

Happy days.

In my region it is popular amongst chavs.

I can't talk about dog names as both my children's names ( boy and girl ) seem to have become popular dogs name

I love this too. My friend at school had a cat called Dave

That’s more a cats name from where I live

I would never use it myself for one of my children, but I know a little girl called it and it does actually suit her. Can't imagine it aging well as she gets older mind.

Ridiculous spellings that nobody will ever get right. Like Emmaleigh
