Names you can’t stand

[petitspois]

Russell- every Russell I’ve ever met has been awful. I also associate it with Russell Brand
Thomas - boring
Ethan
Sean
Gavin
All the ‘den’ names like Jayden
Milo
Leo
Tracey
Stacey
Shirley

I’m with you on the Russell thing- wankers, the lot of them!!

I love this thread seems that Chloe’s across the nation(s) are known to be witches - why is this? I don’t know anyone with that name but for some reason I have that impression too

My daughter’s name came up once but I don’t think that’s much of a win as it’s kinda uncommon. I’m surprised that a few people have said Erin! It was on my list (vetoed for being ‘too American’) and I thought it was pretty non-offensive

Also all the currently popular names being slated, makes me wonder why they’re popular. Unless Tattlers all have unpopular opinions

 

[HowlOwl]

I don’t like the name Rocco either, why Madonna chose that as a name.

 

[Boredofthegram]

My sons names appeared a few times on here it wasn’t popular 5 years ago when I named him but is everywhere now annoyingly. My Names also made an appearance on here.

Names I don’t like;
Chelsea
Paris
Layton/Leighton
River
Tyson
Alfie
Archie
Tyrone
Teddy

Too many to list the more I think about it!

 

[LoisLane]

Yeah i think im going to have to rethink hahha. I cant believe how hard I've found it to choose a name for her..i might like something for a little while and then ill wake up and not want to use it at all. Feel like she's going to be nameless forever at this rate

Why not Courtney? Maybe you can shorten it to Coco but if she doesn’t like it when she’s older eg in her job she can just use Courtney rather than being stuck with that as her name.

The only robyns Ive known have been rough as pig tit

 

[Offtobuttonmoon]

I imagine tie-lay-a, she made it up herself, that’s why you’ve never heard of it

That figures!! Surprised it's not even tackier really

Can’t bare the name Nevaeh. “It’s Heaven spelled backwards” - absolute chavviest of recent trendy names!

Does anyone actually like the name Neveah?!! I've never come across anyone named it but I'm sure there are plenty out there (the poor souls )

 

[Roarquaver]

This could turn weird

Only ones I 'hate' are the ones that are offensive in some way: Cohen, Gypsy, Adolf (not that anyone would use that one) etc.
I have ones I dislike and wouldn't use but I don't really hate any others. Mispelt names make me cringe, a lot. Random Y's in names. Lyndon for London, Kaytlin etc.

Why is Cohen offensive? Xx

I knew a neveah. Proper chavvy mum

Why is Cohen offensive? Xx

It’s a bit of a debate but Cohen is one of the very few Hebrew-based surnames that Jews have been able to keep. It should be inherited rather than given just because it’s ‘cute’ and it represents a huge part of Jewish history - it’s one of the very few Jewish names that can be traced back to pre-holocaust. I’ve read that not every person of the Jewish faith is offended by it but a large portion are.

There is more to it than that I think, this link is fairly good https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-big-baby-naming-battle

Coco is a pet’s name. I’m rather fond of it for a dog.

How do people pronounce Neveah? TBH I think a prettier alternative would just be Heaven, if you forget it has “Heave” in it.

That article was really interesting! I briefly considered Cohen, had no idea of the history.

I think it’s fair to say that most Tattlers do have unpopular opinions (or common sense rather)

 

[CringesFringes]

Lourdes sounds like to me. Some celebrity kids name are bizzare. Pax, Suri, Diva thin Muffin, Sir, etc.
Atticus.
Tony.
Willy
Nikita.
Bobby.

I hear a mum call her baby girl called Nirvana in the park

Actually it has a very nice meaning like peace and happiness, but people think of The Band Nirvana first.

 

[RosieFrancesca]

My sons middle name is Theo - it was short for Theodore - picked by my 8 year old who loved Alvin and the chipmunks at the time We were just thankful she didn’t choose Alvin....!

I have a Theodore who we call Theo, I love it! My daughters name hasn’t appeared yet but I suspect it would get a lot of stick on here

 

[AngryBird101]

oh that's funny it just sounds like car-L to me then again ive got a north american accent

Same! Scottish lass here and hate the name Karl, I end up saying Karuull!! English folk sound posh when saying it as well

 

[Heyguysswipeup]

I went to school with a Gordon bennet, no joke!
Also a Jedd.. strange name.
Brandon sounds like a bully name to me lol

 

[Sparks]

My youngest had a Khaleesi in his class. To the parents, they should have finished GOT before naming their child after the mad queen

Also I heard someone call their kid Olivi-A. Trying to sound posh but lets be honest, she will forever be called Olivia.

I hate misspelled names.

 

[When Life Gives You Lmons]

I know someone who called their little boy Error.

I wonder if there is some hidden meaning with this one. "Soz, son. Your conception was somewhat of an error."

 

[Cocobean]

My cat’s name.

Same here
