At the risk of offending everyone on here whose name you don't know, what names do you dislike?
I personally can't stand Justin on a bloke. And for girls, I'm not really a fan of any of the Mels other than Melissa. No offence if anyone has those names. I'm sure having a crap name is no reflection on you as a person (your parents maybe ).

I only dislike them on younger people though as it just doesn't sound right, but those who are 50/60 it's fine.
NB Although I haven't met any nice Chelseas I am not disputing the fact that there probably are some out there. Somewhere.
What a fucking stupid name.
Ah always the optimist, they're all cunts and you know it.
I don't like silly names like Apple and shit like that.
Tacky, nasty ones; Chelsea, Kylie, Chantelle, anything double barelled (Ellie-May springs to mind) or when people try to spell their names differently. Like Leighanne.
My ex was gonna call her wee girl Lola-Jayde, but she saw sense in the end and just left it at Jayde :sour:
Oh god, my cousin was telling me all the girls names she liked a few weeks back. We were helping out another cousin (who's since had a baby, and it's a boy), but she announced "You can't call the baby Alleesah because that's what I'm going to call my first child if it's a girl."
I mean :eek: It's meant to be Alesha, just spelt differently. I soon portrayed my disgust
For boys, all the typical David, James, John, Paul, Matthew, Daniel - Biblical names, horrific.
I taught a Tallulah
She was a right little madam!
I do try
I once taught a girl called Caprice. Just because of the name I was expecting a right little madam but she was the sweetest, loveliest girl in the class.
I think, with the exception of Gemma, I like all the names you just mentioned.
But yanno, different strokes for different folks.
Tanesha/Talesha
Allissia
Robert
Kerry/Ceri/Kerri
Albert
Stacey
Tracey
Leeanne (spelt like this. Leanne is fine. Leeanne is not. Incidentally, her sister is called Krystal.)
Martin
Rory
Reagen
Morgan
Arnold
Mollyhgygf
poohead
fannyface
Olivia
Anything with a stupid spelling.
By the way, can you tell the point where Andy hijacked my keyboard? :yeees:
You hate my name :crying:
No Stacey, I think that Manda is a lovely person!
Which would have been an altogether better response.
when i worked in the maternity hospital, some woman named her kids dolce and gabbana!! i mean come on love, get a grip..."Dolce, dinner's ready, Gabbana, get down!"
All of the above, plus the following (only a selection, as we would be here all day):
Sara (Sarah is fine)
Jessica
Jasmine and all its bastard variants
Louise
Victoria and all its derivatives
Camilla
Jordan
Wayne
Liam
Luke
Robbie (Bob/Rob/Robert are fine)
any hyphenated name, or when people call their kids 2 names
any boys name starting with a K which is supposed to start with a C
anything celebrity-inspired or 'current'
Kaff, you know those books called "Crap Cars" and whatnot? We should write one called "Crap Names", or "What Not To Call Your Child".
I actually think we should. From the look of the other thread, a lot of people need our help!
Actually, we should write one called 'What to Name Your Child' cause I think it would be A LOT shorter
