My husband's second name makes him cringe so he'd never use that willingly, indeed he says he'd rather it kept secret because its that bad! He also shortens his first name too because he says you cannot have a bloke of 60 with the name of a five year old

Mya/Mia
Never know if this is supposed to be pronounced Meee-ah or M-aye-ah! Hate it for that reason
Oh so many… Stark and Conlin from sons baby group (are these even real names?) proper old lady names such as Mabel, Ivy etc all the ones that mumsnet go wild for 
Anyone know is there a names you like thread? 
Margot
I don’t understand the popularity of this name. It’s literally one letter away from Maggot. I think people think they’re being all whimsical and French when they choose it. Same goes for Amelie, Elodie, and Audrey.
Aurelia
Fun observation for me on this thread is that many names that are okay-ish or popular here in Germany. Take Mya/Mia - spelled "Maja" (which would be the Maya pronunciation) is pretty common here, as is Mia (Meeyaa). Same with Amelie and Aurelia. And all the Emilie, Emily, Emilia variations out there.
I wish I was lying but a work colleague has names their DAUGHTER Ringo
. We all thought it was a joke at first when he told us …
i’m going to guess that’s where all the mentions of my name areAnyone know is there a names you like thread?
I'd love it if the Registrar at Births, Marriages & Deaths turned around at some of the stupid names presented & said " No. Go away & come back when you've thought up a proper name..." They do in some countries!
rusty? a GIRL called rusty?! a HUMAN called rusty?!?!?
i cannot imagine growing an actual tiny person, carrying it for nine months, going through how ever many hours of labour, being handed said tiny person, what a miracle etc, and being like "yes. i shall name her rusty"

Had to do a double take on the name
I knew a guy with red hair yrs ago and his nickname was Rusty .
But to actually call your child it, is so wrong
i can't lie, i'm still repeating it to myself. rusty. i think people sometimes don't realise that you're naming a kid FOR LIFE. like she has to eventually introduce herself to people! i get it as a nickname for a guy or a name for a dog but -I know I was the same

it's not even THAT outlandish but for some reason it's one of the worst ones i've heard
I used to ride a pony called rusty and one called brandy too.
