Names You Can't Stand #5

[Dipdab]

There was a baby Woody announced on my mum app this morning

 

[BonBon27]

Met a 4 year old called Heavenly the other day. That’s not a name!!

 

[Wackie Jeaver]

I have to add Charlene (as in Princess of Monaco) to the list. And Darlene (who is not a Princess as far as I'm aware).

 

[MyrtleRV]

We live next door to “Dave” and “Steve”

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…

 

[Sally Snarker]

I do love the animals with people names! All 3 of mine do, but the only one that feels slightly odd to call in is 'Charles'.

 

[Melian]

We adopted a Jacko the Jack Russell. It suited him so we kept it!

 

[Joannabloggs]

A YouTube couple ( 2 ladies) have a baby boy called Harbor, if I recall correctly! Another lesbian couple ( who basically have the same name, bar one letter) have a baby boy called Ziggy. I think they are both ridiculous names! Another couple of married ladies have a Rupert, which I think is quite cute.

Rupert will always be a bear's name to me, sorry

 

[YellowLadybird]

I just stumbled across a guy called Liam…spelt Leigham

I recently came across a Quaid.

Like this when you get it - took me a while

On stupid/nonsensical spellings, when I was in Wales,doing my PGCE, I had a Sharn in my class! Supposed to be Siân, I think, but the parents evidently couldn’t spell properly

I worked with someone called Sharn too! It might've been with an e (Sharne) but I can't remember.

I hate when people spell Phoebe 'Pheobe'

 

[Inforapenny]

Oh that reminds me we had a client in with her baby Quincey ...not sure if that's a girl or a boy but I hate it ,just bleeping horrid

I was meant to be Sian. Surprised people don't know how to spell or pronounce it

A friend has a Phebe

 

[Onthehop]

I once knew a Siobhan but spelled Chivaughn.

 

[Pushyplumb]

I know of a cat called Ron.

 

[rainbowlemon]

I have to add Charlene (as in Princess of Monaco) to the list. And Darlene (who is not a Princess as far as I'm aware).

Both just makes me think of a Texas hun.

Q - aid?

Lol not getting it.

 

[BasilRathbon]

Dennis

 

[Wackie Jeaver]

Quade? I knew someone with that surname always known as Quadie for some bizarre reason.

I grew up in France but went to an International school. One of my classmates one year was called Siân, she told me how to spell it and explained that is is the Welsh form of Jane. Siobhan and Sinéad both puzzled me, as they were in a book, but when I was telling my Mum about a character called ‘See-oh-ban’ or ’Sin-ee-add’, she explained the proper pronunciation to me. I also pronounced Hamish to rhyme with famish which I was told was wrong too!

 

[SarahGard83]

I know of a cat called Ron.

My cat is called Dave

 

[Loubywoobywoo]

A mum on YouTube called her little girl Collins!? I hate surnames or plural nouns as first names, just sounds so ugly and stupid to me!

I like the name Quincey. Remember the show about Dr Quincey who solved crimes & murders. I think he was a medical examiner. He was cool.
