Are there any names you just don't like?

[heygrey]

james.

it's such a good solid name, but i just don't like it.

[Kore]

Jayden. I'm always surprised when I see people still using that name.

[Deleted]

Rich, Richard, Rick, Dick. Just don't like the sound of it.

[greekypie]

Tori. It reminds me of Tori Spelling.

Oh, and Jeffery. I have no rationale for that, but I hate it.

This is on my list. The world should thank me as H wanted to name E that ^o)

La type names. LaShonda or the like.

[MarmeeNoir]

Paul. I hate it, but I have a reason.

[cricketwife]

There are lots that I don't like, but I really really dislike Rory. The sound is just awful.

Beth & Lisa...sorry to those on here!

[BNL2]

Emma is like nails on a chalkboard for me. I don't have any bad association with it, I just think it's a horrible sounding name. I can't believe so many people use it.

[Becca]

Jennifer. ewwwwwwww. (sorry to the Jennifers here)

[Deleted]

Not a fan of Tamra, Shanya, Shana, Shania, Trista, Krista, Kaylee, Jaylyn, Kaylyn, Jayden, Braydyn, Hayden, Brady, Brooklyn, Bertha, Belinda, Kendra, Jaxon, Fatima, Lois, Rodney, Dick, Marcus, Malcolm, Everett, Josiah, Talon, Falon, Axel, Hammish.

I teach middle school and I have so many kids this year in the Jayden/Braydon/Caden family (and I even have a Hayden this year. no joke). Its ridiculous, I feel like I am reciting the worlds stupidest poem every day in class.

As for more grown up names, I don't love the girls names of the early 80s (and believe me, I have one) like Melissa, Jennifer, Michelle, Allison. I don't hate them- I just think they are kind of generic now since I know so many of them.

[feistypants]

Brayden, Cayden, Jayden and any version of those. Jeremy, James, and Jason.

And ouch to my name being listed in this thread!

[kate1482]

Nathan, Berkley, Jamison, & Tempest

[vccake]

Ryan. Ashley. Natalie.

I also dislike most kid nicknames like Lolo or Bean but maybe that's just an UO.

[mollybrown]

I generally hate last names as first names, obviously masculine names for girls, and old fashioned names that don't fall onto the classic category (Sherman, Gertrude, Linda, etc). And I'm not bothered by creative names unless they aren't phonetic.

Sorry, Hammish

[Nonny]

George, Martin, Raymond, and any of the Jayden/Braden/Hayden nonsense.

I'm also not a fan of ambiguous names like Pat or Chris.

[Awkward]

All of the aiden, Braden, Caden, Haden, jayden. Also Addison, Madison, etc. Like someone else said, I am shocked people still use those names.

Jeffrey was always one of my names, sadly I married one! My mom used to call him that and I finally had to tell her to call him Jeff b/c I can't stand the name Jeffrey! Thank god he didn't want a junior when we had our sons!

[tarianne]

I really hate Brandy. It just screams WT to me. I also don't like Tori, Tammy and Tanya. For boys, I dislike Braden and Brandon.

[lanyac]

My husband's first and middle name, my mom's name, my childhood dog's name, my middle name, and my brothers name are all here, lol.

[Wines Not Whines]

Amber, Brandy, Tiffany, Brittany... I wouldn't say I hate them, but they make me think of '80s big hair and neon.

[thedash]

Kyle. I don't know why. It just sounds bad to me.

[mcsangel2]

Brenda and Gary. No reason. I know people with both names and they are perfectly nice. Hate the names.

[Deleted]

No, can't think of any.

[heygrey]

damn. i made the list.

i'm not surprised though since it and a hundred variations are starting to get popular. i love my name, but i'm not a huge fan of all the spin-offs and unique spellings.

[Kore]

Misty. And Mitzi.

[peachdragon]

Paul. It sounds weak to me. And Chelsea reminds me of the stuff that flakes off a milk cap when you open milk.
