I 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?

I'm guessing you don't like the name Samantha then either?

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)

Hmm, yeah Ive never htought about the 'y' sound. I dont li ke any of the names you wrote down, but yeah I cant say I dislike all of them.

Oh, and I don't like Samantha. I love the name Sam though!
