It's called being awkward. But yeah, spelling names differently is a pain in the arse. (I don't spell my first or last names properly and they always get spelt/pronnounced wrong)
As for me, people whose names aren't that 'original'. And people who name their child after cartoon characters or similar. (I have a friend who named his son Pacey after the character in Dr. Who)
There was a woman calling her child "Ocean"yesterday in Tesco.
We had one child called "Happy" at school. I mean, seriously... wtf?
Ditto. I hate my name
I have a cousin called Krystal. It's quite a funny name.
A name I hate is Bertha (surprised that no one mentioned it so far). It's absolutely impossible for me to think of anyone named Bertha who wouldn't be both fat and ugly.
I had a man come into where i work yesterday and he has a baby due in 8 weeks, i asked what he's going to call it and he said Crystal
I'm called Claire. Clearly, it is an amazing name, for this reason only.
Francesca? I think I hate it because it reminds me of this stuck up kid when I was a kid... she used to knock me sick. Maybe I relate it to her?!
Was it Rachie who said she tended to dislike the names of people she disliked? I think I'm the same - because I just remembered I hate the name Donna. And the name Sophie.
haha! :thumb:
Just so my name can be even more over-used and unoriginal... I'm called Claire Louise. I share the same middle name as nearly every girl born in 1985/1986 that lives in Manchester.
:thumb:
Me too. I actually really like my name, I wouldn't change it.
Ditto, only replace 85/86 with 80/81, Manchester with Leeds, and Claire Louise with Katherine Elizabeth.
I seriously think my mum was reading the top 20 baby names list and decided to go with number one and number two.
Still, I don't mind my name. I'd rather be unoriginal than ridiculous
Agreed! :thumb:
i'm lucinda katherine then there's my sisters: alexandra elizabeth (my mum's called elizabeth) and sophie louise.
I'd like it lots more if it weren't so bloody long!
Anyway, I've remembere that I also hate all girls names beginning with Ch (with the exception of Charlotte, which I think is ok), and when people give their children unusual, exotic foreign names, but then their surname is something like 'Johnson'.
how many letters is your name?
my sisters has 28.
Any Emma i know has the middle name Louise or Jane!
I was supposed to be called Sarah Louise, and since Corrie, im glad i wasn't
28 also. 33 with confirmation name, but I don't use it.
My middle name is Catherine (the C is important!)
Thank god i was just called Emma, if my mother had given me a middle name like that i would have been seriously unimpressed by now.
Having said that i do want a middle name that'd go with Emma. Gotta think of something before i deed poll it!
I can't off the top of my head think of any names imparticular that I hate, but I hate when people had to spell their child's name all weird. I can't even think of any right now
Also stripper names. I couldn't imagine calling my child Crystal or Saphire (as I believe I read already in here), Jewel or Paradise.
Not a fan of seasons or months for names either.
Emma Jane?
Or you could go for a Harry Potter feel, with Emma Hermione. Whaddaya think?!
Or Emma Jo. God that'd be so naff.
Hehe Emma Hermoine. Bit of a mouthful innit!
