For some reason Americans seem to love naming their children after shitty British towns and areas. Preston, Bexley, Brixton.

I suppose some Brits aren’t much better with the likes of Brooklyn.

London, Bristol, Devon, Essex, Camden, Brighton - they are awful!

but as you say, i guess Americans likely have a similar reaction when parents in the UK name their kids Memphis, Orlando, Boston, Dakota, Brooklyn, Arizona, Nevada, Dallas etc.

I used to know someone who called their daughter Dallas. Horrible name.

Theres this Irish “influencer” (I don’t really know who she is, all I ever hear of is people complaining about her) who’s name is Elly Kelly. There’s also a girl at my nieces school with the same name.

Awful

I'm not keen on Lavender, but the addition of 'Mai' makes it insufferable. Sorry...I just can't deal with these names!

Elly Kelly is definitely an unfortunate name - plus it just makes me think of the Lelli Kelly brands of shoes for kids!

I can’t stand : Bear
Wolf
Sparrow
Robin.
I love the creatures, however.
Humans should not be stealing their names, imo.

I’m over the flower names now, too. There was a chav shouting Ivy at the top of her voice in the supermarket at lunchtime.

Someone I know has just named her daughter Celeste. Disgusting name. Sounds like incest and lechery. Her other kid is named Clementine, which is also repulsive. “Clemmy” sounds like slang for a sexually transmitted infection.
