[Inforapenny]

Baby boy called Romeo reign popped up on my Instagram. Apparently the sprog of an influencer.
I don't following any influencers


Edit. Just had another look at it's the off spring of one of the jersey shore guys and some desperate wannabe influencer.

In the park today , A woman shouting for TRENT to come over here now
I really hoped that she was calling a dog , but no , she was calling her son .

Andrew, there’s at least 4 in my work.
Tony but for a girl, spelt that way.
Betty, she’s in her 20s
Geraldine, again another girl in her 20s
Paul
Kenny/Kenneth
Every kind of spelling of Lindsay
Simon
These are just a few of many I hear everyday and I hate them all

So it’s not actually just one name or the names themselves but I don’t like when people around my age (31) have children and name them names that are from our ‘era’ .So for example I know someone around the same age as me with a two year old called Natalie .I know people having babies and calling them Daniel ,jessica,Emily etc .It’s not 1995 hun .

A friends son is called Christopher. She wanted a name that wasn't so overused but didn't want something that just sounded ridiculous.

Harry and Georger. So overused.

 

[Sally Snarker]

Ethan
Aiden/Adrian just sounds like aids to me
Catherine / Kathleen
Eileen / Irene
Amy
Emma
Isla
Common ones such as Lily, Lola, Mason, Logan, Riley.
Sophie/Sophia simply because it's sooo overused!
I mean there's more. Just off the top of my head these ones

I was going to call my son Aiden right up until the last minute, basically for this reason. Also, we have a very Irish surname & decided it was overkill

 

[aliyah_ess]

I know and English woman who called her daughter ‘Caoimhe’ and literally pronounces it ‘Kay-o-mee’ but insists on telling everyone it’s an Irish name

 

[thaliamay]

I love how my littlest's name hasn't been mentioned (have read through pretty much all threads ) my first sons name has been mentioned maybe once. It isnt unique but not many people seem to actively dislike it which is good. My second sons name is fairly uncommon.

 

[Wackie Jeaver]

What do we think of Romy Iris Charlotte? Johnson's latest sprog (no7?8?9? who knows). Is it it Roh-my or Rommy?

 

[petitspois]

I think the only name that hasn't been listed on here yet is John.

 

[Loveitme]

My 15 month old niece is called Emily

[nicolab]

Iris pronounced queeevah which is infinitely worse

[Jane Tee]

I think the only name that hasn't been listed on here yet is John.

[Mollywobbles]

I know someone whose sons are Lyncon and Izik

 

[Al Fresco]

Jon-Paul

George-Ringo is worse.
