Names You Can't Stand #7

[watermelon sugar]

Arlo in a Teesside accent is horrendous.. Ahhhl-oh!

don’t listen to Chelsea Ferguson shout her dogs then

 

[Marcinabolan]

Daryl Hannah was the first person I ever heard of with that name, I thought it was a girls name for years!


That sounds very similar to the name of the rough council estate in my town

Do you live in Stockton by any chance

 

[maytoseptember]

Posh names that have filtered down. They sound so weird in my local accent when you hear them being shouted in the park:

Poppeh!
Hatteh!
Arrrlohh!

I love this I’m hearing a Manc accent, am I right?

Like Rebecca Lamb’s Alfeh and Woodeh.

[hol20x]

Sullivan or sully

just think it’s a horrible name

There’s a family on Instagram with a son called Sullivan/Sully and triplet girls called Cassidy, Mallory and Ellis. I don’t mind Ellis but the rest aren’t for me.

Any name that doesn’t translate well into an adult

Eg I’ve never met a grown up called Archie. Cute name but not a name for an adult

Only adult I can think of called Archie is from Balamory

Megan spelled Meaghan.

Why the extra letters?

 

[Pineapple glitter]

Megan sounds lovely when pronounced 'meh gun'.
Don't like 'may gun' or 'mee gun' which is too similar to vegan.

 

[AliceInWanderLost]

Megan spelled Meaghan.

Why the extra letters?

same with Rachel spelt Rachael - just unnecessary extra letters, and it will always be misspelled as people muddle up the order of the A and the E.

 

[SwimmingPigs]

My friend has just had a little girl, she’s called her Miriam

I know someone with that name, but she prefers to be called Mimi

 

[Dipdab]

Just seen a kid on insta called Lemon

 

[AliceInWanderLost]

I know someone with that name, but she prefers to be called Mimi

i know someone called Miriam who is known as Mims.

 

[witchofwestbyfleet]

I personally dislike Miriam although I guess for Jewish or Muslim people it's a nice meaningful name. I have a Jewish friend with a niece named Miriam AKA Mim

Posh people are the worst for this. I went to uni with an insufferable rah girl whose name was Victoria but went by Binks. Blergh.

Urgh ... I once knew a Sloaney type Philippa who went by Fwip

 

[sheleg]

Yeah, I’m Jewish and know a lot of Miriams.

Philippa known as Fwip makes me nauseous. (And my phone autocorrected Fwip to “awful”, so it agrees!)
