I have a Scarlett and Noah and glad to see neither name has popped up yet.. Although I'm sure many people don't like them.

Laurel? Loretta?
 
I think it's.pretty cool... I wouldn't have the balls to call my kid that though. And I don't k ow how well they'd get a job.. can't picture it on a CV... They'll certainly stand out in a crowd !
There will be a bigger variation in names by then, I should imagine.

It's Lyndsay. Which can be spelt lindsay, lyndsay, linsey, lynsey, linsay, lynsay, lynzi etc etc etc. I've spent a lifetime correcting it on everything that anyone has ever written to me. 😭

Oh, and for some reason people like to spell it lynsday which is just silly. I've also had lynd'say, complete with an apostrophe. 🙄

Freddie - I used to date a Freddie and he was genuinely a terrible human being.

Despite my name being Kayleigh, I hate all the K/C names - Kayden, Caleb, Kaiden, Kyan, Kenzie. So bleeping chavvy

Loving this thread

So far both my kids’ names have been mentioned, my husband’s, my dad’s, my grandad’s, both my grandmothers’, one of my brother’s, both my cats’ and my dog’s name have all been mentioned :):p

My own name must be delightful as it’s not mentioned.

Stormi and every Kardashian kid's name (except Penelope and Mason)
Tallulah.
Tamara
Reyansh( I am an Indian and every bleepin third child is name reyansh).
Priyanka (not Chopra, but the name, because it is sooooo common so overused in Indians).
Mercedes.
Giving country's or city'name to kid (India, America, London,Paris , Chicago, Orlando, etc,)
Out of the world names (like Elon Musk's baby's name)

Cutsie granny names, especially Betsy,
Winnie, etc. Betsy physically makes me wince. You’re not being cute or clever and one day your daughter will be an adult, possibly with a serious job.

Finn/Finley. I agree with the poster on page one, a name worn by little shites! Also it sounds like an animal body part.

Miss spelled names like Mayzie, K8lynn, Jaxon, Jaydin (and on that note anything that ends incorrectly with -in to verbalise an annoying American accent)

Anything-Mae. So common and unimaginative.

Isabella, Sophia, etc. Nice on their own but they became overused, and it sounds like their parents were trying to sound mildly exotic.

Brooke and Brie. Hard to say, the Br sound sounds awful in one syllable words. And also too American.

Not being controversial but some Muslim names have horrible sounds, Fatima, Ahhhcchmed etc.

Becky. Rebecca is a beautiful name but Becky sounds like an overweight, runny-nosed, not very intelligent schoolgirl.

The trend for giving girls boy’s names or surnames: Blake (Lively), Leighton (Meester), James (Blake’s daughter I think), Banks (Hilary Duff’s daughter), Harper (Beckham). I think there’s a celeb with a little girl called Michael, too.

I’m surprised only my youngest boys name is on here loosely, I think my eldest name just doesn’t get thought of often but if I said it, it would get shredded 😂 I’m due a little girl in a few weeks and still struggling with a name 😩 the two we have only one has appeared. I really don’t like naming my kids i find it so stressful 🥴

I know someone whose children's name are Basil and Juniper. (Too unique)
My mother's friend name is Sheila (hate that name).
My father's friends's wife name is Shameem (and she is not Islamic).
also, names like Kova, Luna, Ramona sounds like a witch (sorry)
