babynamesI have a big problem with 'THA' names. TabiTHA, AgaTHA, BerTHA. I simply don't like the sound-at all. (Not trying to offend anyone :), Im sure you are still a lovely person despite the fact I dont like your name!) I also know a couple people who don't like -dyn, -den, -don, -dan sounds in names. ie Kaidan, Landon..
Does anyone else have a automatic dislike of names because of a particular sound?

Date: 2006-07-06 04:54 pm (UTC)mostly just because of their overexposure
there are street names in newer neighborhoods that are, like, Brayleigh Lane, and my mom and i always talk about no matter how perfect a house could be, we could never buy one on Kayleigh Lane

Date: 2006-07-06 05:06 pm (UTC)Actually, in Polish, there is no letter X. So names that would have an X in English are spelled with a "ks" sound - i.e. "Alexandra" is "Aleksandra." And of course, nothing can START with the sound. I like that a lot better.

Date: 2006-07-06 07:53 pm (UTC)I don't know.. maybe the fact that my Aunt has a dog named Bella may have ruined it for me. I could just never name my daughter Bella. It does not seem like a name for a human being... at least one that could be taken seriously.
Belle isn't bad.. but as a nickname for Isabelle or something only.

Hmpf.

Date: 2006-07-06 09:44 pm (UTC)I do not like names that start with a Br sound. Brooke, Brayden, Brie... And I don't like hard K sounds, like in Jack or Brock.
-aden and -lyn names I'm tired of, but it's not that I find those sounds distasteful... just overused.

Date: 2006-07-07 04:26 am (UTC)My most disliked sound in names is a bit hard to explain...
I don't like the Y sound. But it doesn't have to be a Y that is spelled in there... like for example, I don't like the following names, because they are pronounced (at least in australia) with a Y sound in them:
Matthew = math-Yoo
William = will-Yum
Daniel = dan-Yul
Samuel = sam-Yoo-ul
Nathaniel = nuh-than-Yel
etc.
There are lots of boys' names with that sound in it, but I like almost every traditional boys' name which doesn't have that sound, so it's ok.
I also don't like the letter W in names (so that makes William a really bad name, even though I respect it as a good solid name)
