what are some names that you just really dislike or despise for whatever reason? i'm not talking about names like dick, which i'm pretty sure, most people do not favor..just normal names, common names, unique names, etc. mine are under the cut. i hope no one gets offended if their name is on my list. i'm just curious as to which names people really don't like. feel free to agree/disagree with my list as well. :) ♥

my name is on the girls list!!

haha it's ok. i like it ^_^

and my mom's, my aunt's and one of my friend's is on the list too! do you wanna guess my, my mom's, my aunt's and my friend's names? heh ;P

but i agree with dwayne dwight donald glenn randy roger wade....ugh they're like midwestern names of the 80's. and i say that because a lot of people at my church in minnesota in the 80's had those names, heh.

[cleddy.livejournal.com]

I've always hated the girl names Regina ,Casey (for male or female), Lacy, Macy (anything that sounds like those!)
For boys, I was never too fond of Doug, Douglas, Richard (because of 1 particular person!) or Ronald.
There are others of course but those are the top of my list!

It's safe to say... i hate most of them

anything that ends in -ayden/aden, and anything too old sounding (especially female) like: Marg, Joan, Jean, Fran. I dislike most of the boys names that you do, except for Jonas and Jonah. Others I dislike: Raven, Anne, Lena, Becky, Angela/Angel/Angelina, Maggie. Boys: Levi, Louis, Frank, Charles, Donald, Bryson, Mitchell. There are others, but it's getting late and i'm drawing a blank.

[lkw18.livejournal.com]

Place Names make my head hurt.

[invisiblepet.livejournal.com]

I don't like place names:
Dakota, Savannah, Houston, Kennedy, Cheyenne, Cleveland, Dover, Branson, Clovis, Tiffany, Dallas, Casper, Paris, Brooklyn, Aspen, Denver, Baylor...(and yes, I've known people who have named their kids these names. I'm not making these up. Except Paris but we all know who that is.)

I like those names for pets. :)

The place names I DO like that are debatable as place vs. names are: Austin, Trenton, Sydney, Athena, Jackson

The unusual exceptions: Eden, London, Devon, Ireland (love those)

Don't know why. I guess because I have a fear that someday my child will be in a school of all place-named children and it will be more like an airport... :)

[imyourrapunzel.livejournal.com]

Aww, I like the names Beau and Allegra. And some of those names I think are cute on certain people, but I don't particularly like. But that's alright, we all have our opinions haha.

I dislike these names (boys and girls are all mixed up): Duane, Wayne, Wade, Naomi, Mildred, Dan/Daniel, John, Billy, Bobby, Barbara, Debra (or any variation), Carol, Eileen, Irene, Bruce, Dustin, all those -aden/-ayden/-aiden names, Dakota, Ernest, Earl, Wally, Eugene, Karen, Candace/Candi, Tiffany, Stephanie, Jodie, Lenore....yeah, I think you can sort of get the picture.

[quiet-recluse.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah and I really hate Sydney.

[sageharper.livejournal.com]

I have subcategories :)

*Nevaeh, because it just goes aganist everything I appreciate in a name. Not into made up names in general, but that's the biggest example. (I have a thing about names needing to mean something and have history)

*Names for girls starting with Mac/Mc or ending in son. Those prefixes/endings mean 'son of', so it's just wrong.

*Creative spellings of anything rub me up the wrong way. With common names it's just an administrative nightmare, with unusual names it's pointless, for word names I just want to curl up and cry (unless it's legit, e.g Skye as that's a place).

*Casey, Morgan, in fact pretty much all unisex names, on girls. Though I adore them for a boys (indeed my boy bunny's name is Casey)

*Very religious/ethnic names used by people not of that religion/ethincity for some trivial reason like 'they sounded cool'.

*All the names my parents like and/or used, which as you can imagine is rather unfortunate. Well actually I like my brother's name. [Sage is not my given name, obviously]

*Nicknames as full names, or anything else rather cutesy. Fine for a baby, not so great when they're a thiry year old lawyer.

Am generally more easy going about boys name.

[sherball.livejournal.com]

I'd have to say I agree with most of the names on your list.. Here's a few that I don't like

Boys
Travis
Kyle
Vincent
Garret
Robert
Davis


Girls
Bertha
Ursula (my grandmothers name)
Margaret
Lorraine
Tonya
Nancy

[sherball.livejournal.com]

I forgot one boys name..

Jesus..

[so-there.livejournal.com]

dick... haha. it's my husband's grampa's name, so we will have to use it as a middle name someday. thing is, I don't like the name richard or any of the short forms, rich, rick, ...

[halfwright.livejournal.com]

I dislike names that are also words, ie. Hope, Faith, Destiny, etc.

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

Ooooh man. I hate Peter, Dennis, and Mike (personal reasons). I hate the spelling of Geoffrey, but I like Jeffrey.

And I agree with Brenda and Brianne/Brianna. I get called those ALLLL the time when my name is in fact Brenna, so I have a personal vendetta against those names.

I'm not a fan of Jennifer, Jessica, Melissa, Amanda, or those very popular names, either. I can't keep track of all of the ones that I know anymore.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

lauren?

[xxsilverbellsxx.livejournal.com]

Names I strongly dislike:

Tina
Josephine...argh. I want to like this, but I can't!
Calliope (all I hear is the 'pee')
Caiomhe...I know you say it Keeva, but I STILL say 'Cai-oh-me'
Ava...hate hate hate
Eva prn. EE-va. I say it like most Polish people do: EH-vah
Avalyn, Avaline...these aren't real names to me! Stop trying to make Ava interesting! (Sorry for the vent)
*When people use names with absolutely NO meaning to them whatsoever, or when they are only 1% Irish and say, "Och, I want to honor my Irish heritage by naming my dear sweet daughter Ireland Brigid Erin.."
Carson
Most boy names on girls
Parker
Alivia (it's spelt Olivia!!!!!)
Reese/Rhys/Reece
Jackson
the combo Emma Charlotte

Boys-
Brad/Bradley
Jayden/Kadyn etc.
Jaylen!!!!! I really can't stand this.

Amanda
Katie
Lindsey/any variation
Rachel
Rebecca/Becky

But i do hate the names Sean & Dwayne/Wayne!

[serendipitous13.livejournal.com]

Wow. I never knew so many people hated my name. (Rebecca/Becky) I actually really love it and am glad my mom picked it out.
However, I dislike pretty much every name my grandma and grandpa picked for my mom and her siblings.
Aunts: Dawn, Gail and Kimberly
Uncles: Robert, Kevin, Bradly and Gregory
My Mom: Tamara

My Mom told me never to name my child a name that will be continually misprounced. Her name is pronounced TAM-a-ra instead of ta-MAR-a and she's gone her entire life correcting people.

Some names I hate:
Denise
Nevaeh
Pam
Mary
Marie

Troy
Enoch
Samuel
George

Boys:

Birtha
Kylie
Rosemary
Maeve
