What names do you hate?

lazygal · 03-02-2013 4:48pm #1

I have an Irish name and I don't like it, or most Irish names, especially ones with random fadas. I really hate the names Tiernan, Fiacra, Sadbh and Síofra. I'm an equal opportunities grump when it comes to other names. I hate the names Jamie, John Paul, Ciara and Sharon too.

I always hated the name Patricia. Such an Irish mammy name.

Cornelius. Poor friend had a miserable childhood.

wolfpawnat · 03-02-2013 5:04pm

I love Irish names. I have one child with an Irish name and am pregnant with another, so I will give that an Irish name too.

I despise my name, seriously, if I still spoke to my mother I would yell at her, Natalie, but since I am from Cork, it was always Nat-ly! Hate it so so much.

I was going to say this - I know two boys with this name and they are both horrible kids.

Wasn't there a story out a few years ago where they polled teachers and the name Reece or Rhys came out on top as being the name they dread seeing most on the student register or something? Must see if I can find it...

Shoshanna. Awful. And weirdly a kind of upper-class name in the states.

I don't mind my name. ONly dislike it because its so common, I know 7 of them not including myself. Probably more actually.

I hate the name Agnes. I know a baby with that name and I can't stand it.

My own first name is listed above. (reasons: I dislike religious names, names that could be both male and female, associations with people, or sometimes irrational I just don't like the name)

Marnie, I think its vile. I heard lily allen had called her new kid that and expressed my dislike on twitter only for a Marnie to tweet me back. Her other kid is called Ethel, equally vile name.
