Names You Can't Stand #5

[sheleg]

Why is Miles suddenly so popular? Why name a child after a unit of measurement?

 

[Mrs brighside]

I have a stray cat who adopted us (basically moved himself in through the cat flap!) and we called him Kevin.

It caused great amusement at the vets when we took him in to get neutered; why? Guess what the vet was called…

My cat is called Paul

 

[Lorny]

My cat is called Paul

No hate to your cat, just made me think of this

 

[Offtobuttonmoon]

I actually like Remi/Remy. But again feel like it’s a name that would go out of date so wouldn’t actually ever call my child that

That name always reminds me of the rat in Ratatouille

 

[Mrs brighside]

That’s where we got it from

My mum Fostered a baby girl once called tresemme like the shampoo brand I was like wtf

 

[Calalily]

Two twins girls joined my little boys class and their mama cursed them with the names Bambi and Kenedi (Kennedy).
Maybe she couldn't spell Kennedy proper or was jumping on the "mis spelled tit names trend" Who knows

You sure it wasn’t Teresa May?

 

[Blossom303]

Crystal reminds me of meth and molly same reason as crystal reminds me of mdma, also don't like alantis, chardonnay and jade as they remind me of strippers and all destiny's I know are two faced witches

 

[SwimmingPigs]

Female

Reminds me of snobs or bullies at school - Casey, Maisie, Millie, Ruby, Fern, Courtney, Chelsea, Jade, Megan, Robyn, Harriet, Paige, Amber, Lacey

Harsh sounding - Gabrielle/Gabriella (Gabby), Nicola, Kelly, Amanda, Ariana/Aria

Boring - Rebecca, Katie, Leah, Stephanie, Caitlin, Olivia, Emma, Ella, Hannah, Laura/en

Nice names but remind me of not nice people - Charlotte, Zoe, Victoria, Jenny

Male

Bully names.. Bradley, Charlie, Lee, Cameron, Callum

possibly creepy... Craig, Peter, Elliott, Mark, Graham, Edward, Chris

Names like Cody, Jayden, Ayden, Kayden, Kenzie, Levi...

I've heard of a few Barneys lately.

All I think about is the purple dinosaur or Barney rubble from the flintstones.

 

[HelloStereo]

Barnaby is just horrific too.

 

[Rainbow Blossom]

Chiming in to say I really dislike chavvy names like Jayden/Kaden/Brayden etc. Also not keen on Jackson or even worse Jaxson.

I can’t stand Arabella or other pretentious frilly names. Also the Lexie-Mae, Ella-Mae, trend. Chavtastic.

upper/Middle class mums naming their kids names that aren’t really names. eg Fleur de Force and her River and the other name she said she would use - Raven. Her sister has a Spike - wtf.

I objectively like the name Noah but every single Noah I’ve come across with my 4 kids in school has been really naughty.

 

[YellowLadybird]

I once knew a Candida (thrush!)

Milena is a moderately popular Polish girls' name. I've met a fair few little girls with that name whose parents immigrated to the UK.

Unfortunately, in English, it is the technical term for blood in your poo.

I know a little girl named Bella de Fleur . Can't believe I forgot about her until I seen your comment

You sure it wasn’t Teresa May?

Maybe it's like in Kosovo where loads of baby boys were named Tonibler in honour of Tony Blair!

Barnaby is just horrific too.

Or even worse, Barnabas. Ugh. Reminds me of Barabbas who was crucified along with Jesus.

 

[JCMSadie]

Malcolm, Derek, Gary, Barry.

Maude, Tracy, Blanche.

Who looked at their baby and thought "aww, little baby...Malcolm"

 

[sheleg]

Gabby

This is one of the ugliest names in existence.

 

[Lewlew]

I work in a hospital and we had yesterday a Harry boy. As in his middle names was boy!

 

[tigerlily123]

I know a girl called Candy

Someone I know on Facebook was pregnant and didn’t know what she was having, but wanted to know what everyone thought of her name choices… for a girl she had Nevaeh (the classic) and for a boy, it was Country. COUNTRY???????
