Names you hate?

George! BLECK. Martin. Tony. Peter. Steven. David. I don't know, there's a whole heap of names I don't like, and I'm beginning to realize that they're almost always male names lol
 
How could I have forgotten about Bertha? Also Natasha, Isaiah, Jacques, Lamar, Humberto, Kendrick, Ahmed, Ishmael, Jarvis, Lewis, Bernadette, Carmen, Dolores, Eleanor, Helga, Lois and Olga.
 
I really dislike Tiffany and Whitney because they are really stereotypical towards ‘popular’ and ‘stuck-up’ people. Though the people that I have met with those names almost always fit into those categories with is a strange coincidence. Names I don’t like the sound of are mostly popular names like Olivia, Lily and Mia. Mostly girl names :/
 
There are names I don't like because I associate them with unpleasant people. But barring that, the names I don't like usually are grouped into certain categories-
  • Old Lady/Serious/Outdated names- Gertrude, Matilda, Mildred, Agatha, Dorothy, Harriett, ect. &
  • Old Man/Outdated/Serious names- Mordecai, Gregory, Harold, Alfred, ect. A human starts out as a baby and for me, those kind of names are way too serious for a baby.
  • Religious names- Hope, Charity, Chastity, Faith.
  • Nature/Trendy names- Forest, Brook, Canyon, Flint, Bear, Aspen, Blaze, names with a 1000 ys in them because it's "cooler", ect. I feel like they're names you'd give to a pet than names for actual humans. And it's very "Look, our kid is different and special!". Ug.
And Bob. Sorry but I hate that name. Robert however is great!

I really dislike the name Brandon and Jessica. Every single one except for like two have always been so mean and rude to me and I just don't trust anyone with those names anymore.
 
I hate the name Marina because someone by that name used to bully me and make my life miserable in school. A lot of classmates used to bully me, but this girl’s words and actions really hurt me on an emotional level.
 
emily, no reason why except for that one person who i actually HATE and will never forgive!!!!

i'm also not a fan of the name jasmine, it's my name but i don't like how basic it is
i don't wanna be named after a flower or some rice 😒
 
Also can't stand the name Emily, after a girl who made my life crap.

I also can't stand stereotypical "popular" names, like Sarah, Brittany, Sydney, etc. I just never liked how they sounded.
 
I've noticed that "Emily" has been brought up a lot in this thread (at least four times).

I personally don't mind that name, and don't have any bad associations with it, as the only Emily I ever met happened to be a very short girl who was really meek and mousy 🐭
 
I used to be a lot more picky about names... I remember HATING the name Nick when I was little, but I’m fine with it now. The only name I can think of off the top of my head is Mia. It just sounds... I dunno, it’s such a basic 2017 baby name, I guess? Lol.
 
Archie and I used to hate Alfie because it seems like every dog owner is naming their dogs either of these names at the moment. However I've come to love Alfie again since my friend adopted a spaniel with the same name and even though I've not met him yet he's super cute.

My own name LOL
it's Samantha, and I hate every part of it

I also don't like any type of 'southern' names like Georgia, Joann, Sue
And lastly, Gayle lol
in one of the harvest moon games there was a Wizard that you could marry, but after you start dating him he reveals that his name is Gayle and I immediately nope'd out and started dating someone else lol
 
I don't hate these names necessarily, but I don't really prefer them either. Not super fond of names that are also months.

March, April, May, June, and August. I'm so sorry if you're named after a month 😔
 
I know for a fact my name will be in this thread haha, I've seen it at least once already.
off the top of my head there aren't any names I can think of that I actively dislike, but at the same time I know there are tons of names that I wouldn't choose for a baby, either because I've met someone with that name who I don't like or they just don't seem like names. any name that you would see on a post making fun of that one type of mum? yeah I probably don't like it
 
I’ve noticed a few names brought up a bunch of times. I’m also not fond of the name Emily. I’ve noticed “Jessica” being brought up and I don’t mind that name. I’ve literally only gotten to know one person with that name and she’s a total sweetheart. 😝

I personally can’t stand names that aren’t names. I’ve met someone named “Tuesday” and “Whisper.” Someone that I went to school with was named “Guy Black.” Yeah, that was his full name. So his name written with his last name first would be “Black Guy.” I never understood the name Guy anyway, but if your last name is either Black or White, I swear, do NOT name your son “Guy.” 🙄
