 Mkay, so we all have those names that we just can't stand. Too ugly/too weird/too common, you know how it is.

So I thought it'd be fun if you shared the few names that you honestly just hate (and maybe some reasons, if you want, unless you're like me and don't have reasons)

So, some of the ones I don't like at all:

-Katherine/Catherine, Kathleen/Cathleen, Katerina/Caterina, Katrina/Catrina

-Megan

-Addison/Maddison

-Becky

-Beth

-Alexandra (I know, I know, a good, solid name, but I can't stand how overused it is)

-John (again, too common)

-Kristen

-Leslie*

-Morgan*

-Sebastian*

-Seth*

-Donna*

-Julian*

-Bruce*

-Abigail*

I would agree on those because they are all too common. Addison and Madison are just driving me nuts. I do like the Katherine variants, but yeah, they are so overused.

[nandy-pandy.livejournal.com]

Seconded re: boys' names on girls. It gets under my skin when a boy gets a unisex or traditionally male name, and someone goes, "OMG THAT IS A GIRLS' NAME" and likely some other infuriating comment tacked onto that.

My favorite boys' name is Lynn, though, so... :(

[makeitstopjamie.livejournal.com]

My sister would agree with you on Becky. It was her nickname for awhile, but she now she goes by Rebecca or Becca.

[moshimoshi-13.livejournal.com]

I hate:
Shelby/Sheldon/Shelly/any other name with "Shel" in it basically.
Gina.
Christina and variants.
Anya.
Denise.

Ummmm I'm sure I'm missing tons.

[nandy-pandy.livejournal.com]

Christina is only lame when there's an H in it.


imho. 8-)

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

Olivia, Bruce, Richard, Jayden, Megan, Lindsay (I really just hate that spelling!), Alec, all "childish" boy nicknames (Bobby, Timmy, Nicky, Ricky, etc), Kennedy, Raegan, Alice, Agnes, Leonard and Emily. And there's probably others that aren't jumping out at me. LoL

[darklingnomad.livejournal.com]

Aw, I agree on all of the above and that is pretty bad when: One, My sister's name is Alexandria but she hated it so much because as a kid all the boys were Alexander. Two, my name is Kathrynanne {All one name} although I love the name Kathryn with an 'ryn' rather than the 'erine' but it is way too overused to ever want it.

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

Anabelle.

That name drives me nuts. It sounds so cheesy.

[littlehounddog.livejournal.com]

Caleb, Gordon, Donald, Lori, Alicia, Tricia, Robert, Daniel, Nancy.

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

Madison Addison Gaddison yeh I made that last one up. Pretentious. So pretentious.

Kayla, Kyla, Makayla etc etc - vomit. I hate names with that 'Kay' sound. I think anyone who names their daugther Kayla is asking for a brat because I've only ever known bitchfaced Kaylas.

Melissa/Melinda, Rebecca - Ruined by the masses of my generation.

Peyton. So ugly. As are Mackenzie, Avery, Keagan/Teagan.

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

And the _aydens. Obviously.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

Briony

Mackenzie
Mikayla (unless spelled Michaela; even then I'm not a huge fan)
Becky
any boy name on a girl, but especially James, Elliot, and Ryan
Riley
Logan
any surnames, but especially Kennedy, Reagan, etc.
Rhiannon

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

Caiden, Grayden, Mayden (!), Zayden...

[nothingtolose19.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there are others, but here are some off the top of my head. Some of these, I just don't like the names; others, I have bad associations with people of those names.

Edna
Agnes/Agatha
Beulah
Annabelle
Angus
Scott
Justin
Cody
Pearl
Louis
Liam

I KNOW there are others, but I'll leave it at that ... for now! :P

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

WHYYYYY

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

Emily times 2809308992.

Henry, Stanley, any old man names.

[emtotherescuee.livejournal.com]

I'm an Emily:[

But it's alright, I'm a hater of my name, too. Way WAY too popular, too feminine and wutshit. Why couldn't my parents have done me a favor and named me something with a bit of originality?

[mrs-slats.livejournal.com]

-Katherine/Catherine, Kathleen/Cathleen, Katerina/Caterina, Katrina/Catrina
(Katherine is on my list. Katerina would be, but my hubby doesn't like the 'rina' ending. All other spellings and variations of this name I detest.)
-Megan (Bleh)
-Addison/Maddison (I hate, hate HATE these names. With the passion that burns in the fire of a thousand suns)
-Becky (Rebecca? Rebekah? I like the latter spelling)
-Beth (I prefer Bethany)
-Alexandra (I prefer Alexandria, and knew a girl who changed her middle name to this when she was adopted- it's ok, but not on my list.)
-John (My uncle, brother in law, father in law, and assorted other relatives have this name. I would not name our son this.)
-Kristen - (No thanks!)
-Leslie* (I still think this is a guy's name.)
-Morgan* (Eww. But I like it on a guy)
-Sebastian* (I sort of like this one)
-Seth* (I dun like it either)
-Donna* (It seems like a 40 year old single woman to me)

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

i'm not a fan of rebecca either.
donna sounds like a trashy 40 year old woman with wrinkly tan skin and a smoker's voice. haha. idk why.
