Names You Can't Stand #7

I wonder if it's because the name Sparrow itself sounds 'strong' because it has 'arrow' in it maybe?

ooh, maybe. I've noticed that Arrow has become fairly popular as a name in itself, so that would make sense!

I knew of a Deborah who pronounced it Du-bore-ah

I knew someone who pronounced it like that too. Fortunately it was her middle name.

When my son started school there was a girl in his class called abigail. He couldn't quite remember her name and called her emmerdale

i have a cousin called Abigail, always known as Abi - and it's also always reminded me of scabs. not the nicest of associations!

Maybe you haven’t heard of many because it is a shit, chavvy name??

I had dog named Kenzo - he was already named when we adopted him

Abigail is one of the ugliest names out there.

My husband likes it because it means “father’s joy”. In his language (Hebrew) it’s Avigayil, which is marginally better, but still kind of rough.

I really hate the name Abigail, I had a friend called Abi and i would always involuntarily call her Scabby/scabs in my head, not because she was actually scabby or anything

Ouch!

How did anyone possibly mention a name you made up?

Because his mum agreed to an article about unusual names and they read the article

Still sounds like a variant of Covid to me

Yh I get that my son was born before the pandemic though that was just a unfortunate coincidence

Sorry but after reading all that, I still think Onicoren is a terrible name

Thats cool it's not your name

Decades ago there was an American actor called Randy Mantooth! Yes he really was called that!

Of course, I had to Google him and omg you're right! Randy Mantooth...what a name.

I had an Archie in my class at school and it was a really old man/unfashionable name back then and now it's in the top ten.

I particularly hate the -eh ending of Nevaeh.
