Love/hate relationship

I was reading some comments in previous posts and thought about names that I really liked until someone came along and gave a really negative connotation to it.

For me, I think Kendall is a really pretty name, but now I cringe at the mention of it because that's my husband's crazy ex-girlfriend.

What names did/do you like that have been totally ruined for you?

Oh no! Hope I didn't give offense! If I did, I'm sorry.

I had a horrible, abusive stepdad who absolutely ruined the name Rick for me, and as my husband was suggesting baby names this last round, I realized that I'm turned off by most 'R' names now entirely. The only one I could think of that I actually like is Raya, and I would use that more for a character in my writing than I would ever use for a kid, most likely (especially considering we named this baby "Maya", so there goes that one).

Oh no, no offense taken at all!! It just made me think of making a post :)

That really sucks :( my dad's name was Rick also, but that's why I love the name.

Oh, man! I just keep stepping on the names you love. Sorry! lol

I thought of another one. My husband really fought for the name Elias if we'd had a boy. I used to like the name, but we had a kid named Elias stay with us like ten years ago. He was a bit of a weird kid. After living with him for a while, I just can't name my kid Elias now.

Haha, it's okay!! Totally unoffended, it just happens sometimes :)

Aw, that's a shame :( Elias is such a great name!
