To me, the above are the current era's versions of Sharon, Tracey, Kevin and Darren. Its not the child's fault, just parental poor taste, or my negative associations. I'm also a judgemental witch.

I know a lot of Stephen, Kevin and Connor’s. I don’t like a single one of them and it’s put me massively off the names

 

[Louisej3]

Miami-Rose I've just seen

 

[Sosigfingers]

Has anyone mentioned Renaelia yet? Sounds like a type of kidney disease

Edit some twit of an influencer named their child that.

Names that end in -ub or -um make me nauseous.

Danielle, Jade, Zoe, Sarah, Claire (awful, harsh and boring), Kirsty, Amy, Gemma are names I associate with witches. I genuinely think they are terrible names too. All are popular in my age group. Kadie is a very popular choice round my ways for little girls, even though I do know of one boy called this and I just don't see the appeal!

Elaine
No redeeming features. I just think of a grotty lane.

 

[Octopies]

Miami-Rose I've just seen

I’ve just seen that on TikTok
You think she’s ever been to Miami?

Parenting groups are great when someone asks for name suggestions. Just had a search on one and people have said:

Kylo-Jax
Malachai-Fox
Exel-Bleu
Lucifer-michael
Zaydok-Ronald
Someone with 2 sons called Adonis and Braiker
Someone else having twins called Storm and Rayne

There's just no need

Beau..FOR A GIRL!

Argh, this really annoys me! Belle is the girl version!!

 

[Bizziebody]

Argh, this really annoys me! Belle is the girl version!!

Even worse is Isobeau.

It really annoys me when people don't name their kids "equal" names, like equally classic or equally stupid.

A friend's sister has kids called Isabella, Jessica, Bebe, Gary and Rio.

Partner's mate called his boy twins Hunter and Jesse, but Jesse was the sickly baby in nicu.

Another girl has 2 girls called Aria Rayne and Raya Natalie.

 

[JBMmum]

Someone named their child and spells it this way:

Nansi

makes me want to vomit

this is the Welsh spelling

 

[ElectricDreams]

ilaria is one ive heard lately.
Ariella is just as bad.

This reminds me of when I was at school and I studied Latin. My teacher gave us all Latin names and I was saddled with Hilaria. I was disappointed I didn't get a prettier name like Melissa or Poppaea!

[N-NewGirl]

Anything that’s got an awful side addition of - Mae

Lacey-Mae
Gracey-Mae
Bella-Mae

Just sounds incredibly chavvy.
And Jayden.. setting up for a life of a chav there.

Must be a nightmare if your child insists on a name you don't like! For years my Aunty resisted calling her daughter by a shortened version of her name because she hated it but in the end gave in because everyone else was using it!

I tend to call her ‘Belle’ as a bit of a compromise. When I was pregnant with her, I always said I didn’t like Izzy as a shortened name for her but I did like Belle. She doesn’t seem to mind this! Or at least she’s never told me off for calling her it!
