Names you can’t stand

[Titntat]

Anything with May/Mae/Mai

There’s a child at my daughters school named Lexi-Mai

Think theres one of these in every school
Mums normally looks sticky

 

[Alightened]

Someone I know has called their new baby Ziggy. Not too keen.

I’ve always had an irrational hate for the name Erin, I know plenty of people called that nice enough people but I can’t stand the name the name Hannah also has the same effect on me

also names like Jayden,Cayden etc just sounds tacky to me I prefer more traditional names That can be shortened to something cute when they’re younger but they still have a “proper” name

 

[Keiffers pipe]

It’s pronounced Roo

Isn't it a sauce?

Anything with May/Mae/Mai

There’s a child at my daughters school named Lexi-Mai

It annoys me when every time they shout it’s ‘LEXI-MAI!!’ Like girl just call them Lexi and get over yourself

 

[YellowMellow14]

People who give their kid a surname for a first name.

Jaxon
Arlo
Molly
Poppy
Replacing a "ph" with an "f"
Adding to e's instead of a Y
Changing an S to a Z
Anything your kid will be embarrassed to have when they are an adult, at work and have to say "good morning Bank of Scotland, Rex speaking"

 

[chocolate choux]

Not a fan of double-barrelled names and when I hear them I always wonder if “Elsie-May” ever gets called just “Elsie”

I knew a girl called Emma-Leigh who would always have to correct people who pronounced it Emily (and didn’t like being called Emma)

I don’t like last names used as first names

Bastardised spellings just make me think whyyyy

I remember searching through girls names while pregnant with my daughter and realising that most end in a vowel or -y, or sound like they do. That realisation made it very difficult to choose a name as they all sounded kind of same-y
I’m so fussy though there’s few I actually hate

Can I post a pet peeve about people’s reasons for hating names (not directed at anyone on here)? I hate when people criticise names from different cultures as “they’re not said as they’re spelled”
English isn’t the only language in the world

My dogs called lexi... cute on a pet would never in a million years have called my child that

 

[Alexi92]

People who name their son after their father. Like Ryan junior.

 

[ChampagneBox]

I don’t have kids yet but I imagine it’s a ball ache to decide I always think it’s got to be something that sounds sensible in a nursery as well as a nursing home

My dogs called lexi... cute on a pet would never in a million years have called my child that

Lexi reminds me of Monarch of the Glen if anyone used to watch that back in the day

I’ve never understood why people would choose the name olive. You eat it. You don’t name your child it.

My best friends kids are called Bella, Jacob and Esme....
I'm not a fan either
