Names you can’t stand

[Lalalalaaaaaa85]

I know someone who gave their child double barrelled fore and surnames. Talk about a mouthful.

A girl I used to work with had a double barrelled first name then when she married she double barrelled her surname was way too much effort saying her full name

Seen my name pop up so many times on here And whilst yes it is a dogs name I always get people I meet telling me it’s nice I’m starting to think I’ve been lied to and no my mums not a cav


ALSO I hate the trend of people calling their baby Harlow, I grew up in Harlow and I can’t imagine wanting my kid to be associated with a town like that

Agree about Harlow Reminds me of a website I was on years ago. An American user changed her username to ‘Swansea’ because she thought it evoked pretty images of swans and the sea. The Welsh users were like no, the city is a shithole (their opinion not mine!)

Ohhhhh I find boys names are the worst. I live in a small town so I wanted a name that wasn’t common I can’t be dealing with there being 4 kids with the dame name in his class!!
My little boys name is a surname, although I don’t think it’s a common one, BUT he’s only the “surname” version on his birth certificate so he could choose what to go by when he’s older for likes jobs etc. We call him a shorter version now. Giving him a surname as a first name is probs controversial!!

I HATE
hunter
Hudson
Ezra
Enzo
Tommy
Grayson
All the Jayden kaiden etc
Also seeing KIT being thrown about wtf is that all about ?? Just sounds like PE KIT
Ronnie
Arlo
Archie

don’t mean to offend anyone

As my children’s first names & middle names have all appeared as has my name & my husbands I don’t think I better comment really

But I will say I met a girl at work called Candida ..... that is a name I hate..... actually not hate but why name your child after a fungus that causes thrush

 

[Hayles1990]

I know of someone who named their daughter Blousie, either a big Bugsy Malone fan or they really like women’s shirts

Love this thread. I was doing well until page 20 I have an Isabella but my family are actually Italian so that's why we chose it. Agree it is popular, however I've not met another one yet! And we love it. Hopefully it is on the decline- my LG is 17 months old.

So, when I was a teenager I had the most horrific names on my baby list; charity, destiny, chastity (WTAF?!) I think I have the list in the loft somewhere! Good job I now prefer more traditional names. I know of a Destiny. Not a good name!

I hate the names Fletcher and Thatcher!

Keith, Barry. Think it would put me off if I met a man called either of these.

Hate stupid spellings and double barrelled names!

I feel sorry for Lexis...I know one little girl and she is beautiful and very smart. I wouldn't choose it myself, though I like it if it is short for Alexandra.

Brandon is also awful.

I like a lot of girls names on here like Primrose, Arabella, Poppy, Lily and Daisy.

 

[Cocobean]

None of my kids names have been mentioned thankfully but my granddaughter has (Amelia).

One of my Facebook friends has just had a baby and called him Klayton.
Why not just Clayton (which I'm also not a fan of).

Someone else called theirs Francheska....I thought it was a spelling mistake at first

is it hunter? Because she’s the one that put me off it too

Agreed, thinking back to when I was younger I'm glad I wasnt a teen mum

 

[Veronica]

My children's names haven't actually appeared yet! And I'd say one of them could be seen as "chavvy" now. Maybe not at the time I named her. She's the only one I know though to be fair although it's more popular now.

I hate anything double barrelled.
There are Alot I dislike, but hate

Isabelle
Olivia
Thomas
Frankie
Jon
Oliver

I think the middle name thing for girls... I. E may, grace, rose is a bit like when I was a child it was Louise, jayne or Marie.
