Names you can’t stand

[Fmf17]

Aww I have a Florence lol shes beautiful but I have noticed more people using it now

I don’t have any names I dislike really I mean there’s certain names I wouldn’t call my kids but each to their own isn’t it.

I would say I agree with people trying to be cool by changing the spelling of the name lol that’s just weird or they choose a name that’s shortened from a name to put in their birthcert

I am okay with Victoria but the short name Vicky bugs me so much - i have a confession, in my head, almost all Vicky sounds and behaves like Inthefrow - skinny, duck lips, petite, bleach blonde and scream me me me.

I know someone who called their daughter Scarlett-Silké (just pronounced silk)

 

[JD-Morgan]

Isla
Rosie
Daisy
Orla
Luna - this is a dogs name
Poppy - again a dogs name
John
Double barrelled names
People shortening names, for example I know someone who has an Evelyn which is shortened to Evie, why not just call the child Evie?! They have also done this with their second child, James to Jamie bugs me so much and I don’t know why

She was the only one in school and even now its not a name I hear often and she's 26 now.

Lovely name

Someone I know has a boy called John, he is six year old boy. You really don’t associate the name with an young person. Anyway every social media post this mother makes she refers to him as Johnny Boy

Friend of my mams had 2 girls and called them Summer and Autumn

Someone who works at my place called hers Winter Rose (which I think is beautiful, but couldn't ever imagine how that sounds age 25+!)

Every Kerry is evil. Whether it's the county under 13s shot put champion that would have necessitated a discreet examination before being allowed to compete in the girls' event who grew up into a 6 foot tall darts player with the precursor of the Karen cut (a wonky pudding basin) or the ex PE Teacher Head who specialised in ensuring there were no witnesses before screaming at mildmannered middleaged (and therefore expensive) teachers in her office until they cried and resigned, they are all evil.

Every Melanie has been a princess.

Chloes all seem to be overweight and blonde.

Mothers of Ronnies and Reggies all seem to think that it would be a good think to have psychopathic offspring because they'd be really good to her as she got older. So that means they are barely housetrained at best and frankly Feral most of the time. This also applies to Frankies and Vinnies.

Louis (pronounced LEWWWWWWWISSSSSGETERENAAAWWW or often 'My Loo-loo, my baby boy, bless 'im') is a large little git who cries to Mumma when he's told off for nicking somebody else's Kit-Kat from their lunchbox.

Neils, Barrys and Shaun/Seans were all little gits who would pull your pigtails. As were Lees.

And from direct experience, every Karen I went to school with (and there were a lot of them) were permanently angry, had unruly mousey thick hair (hence the blonde stripes and severe haircut later in life) and an innate sense of superiority over the Common Kids (like me), so would try and be best friends with the teacher. All are divorced, drive big cars and post on Facebook about useless fathers and on Trip Advisor about how they had to wait for the kids' icecreams for more than ten minutes after the layers of baked beans and chips were scraped off the table after their kids had spent the previous twenty carefully smearing them on there. Whilst drinking tit white wine spritzers that must go some way in causing the sour expressions on their faces.

Richards and Christophers are inherently dickheads. Doesn't matter if they are from posh families or from a single Mum in a council flat who wants her boys to look good on job applications compared to the hundreds of Jacks, Jakes, Milos and Thomases, they're all wicks. (And Kit was a very posh nickname for Christophers around 1930. That's why it's being brought back).







That was cathartic.

My brothers name is there. He was a little git though!

There's a kid at my son's school called Jareth, like the Goblin King in Labyrinth. Everytime I hear it I immediately get an image in my head of David Bowie's bulge in those leggings

Names I'm not keen on are:
* Double barrelled names especially those that begin with same letter example Molly Mae.
* Unusual names where poor kids are going to get picked on. Thats not fair on the child
* Names that are spelt differently e.g Taylor = Taylah.
* Kids names that begin with same letter as their siblings names. I have a relative whose partner had a family tradition where they had to call their kids with name beginning with R.
* First name and surname which is same letter.
* Names i dislike are Zack, Arthur, Shane, Jack, Wayne, Chase, Freddie, Beau, Barnaby, Bradley, Arlo, Grayson, Gareth, Hunter, Mason, Tyler
Polly, Avabella, Aria, Maddison, Rocana, Jessica, Chantelle, Molly, Elissa/Alyssa, Poppy, Natasha. There are more but these are the ones that popped into my head.

You’ve got to be a massive twit to name your child Sloane.

 

[Catfan2]

Ooh now where to start? What I would call ‘naughty boy names’ - Riley, Ryan, Jayden, Kayden etc., Kenzie, Brandon, Jackson, Marley, Logan, anything that sounds like it should be a surname.
Girls - anything with May/Mae as a middle name, Mercedes, Destiny, Chloe (all witches). All very chavvy.
Mine and my two adult children feature in this list - I’m surprised as they are ‘normal’ names. Each to their own though

 

[DoctorWho]

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

isn’t Jemma Lucy’s kid called nirvana ? Or is it Sallie axl?

 

[Mrsbrownboys]

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

I really like that!
someone mentioned kardashians. I hate Penelope the most. I like some. But that is such a horrible sounding name.
I don’t mind Daisy mentioned loads. Find it nice. Also Ezra was said I like.
Don’t like Penelope. Rory. Brady and sh/ch names

 

[HelloStereo]

I forgot a few: Barbara, Sylvia and Huxley.

I forgot a few: Barbara, Sylvia and Huxley.

I like Sylvia as a name, but I can’t see it on a child at all. It’s my grandmas name so I just see an old lady
