Names you hate.

[googoogixie]

I hate anything that ends in -bella and just Bella generally. It sounds like bleh to me. Love Belle, hate Bella. Also Dashiell, Maeve, Amelia, and Olivia. But by far my least favorite has to be Jackson. I have never liked this name and now I feel like everyone and their brother's name is Jackson or Jaxon which is even worse. Other than that I pretty much hate anything that sounds pretentious or made up lol.

Boy names on girls- just because you use it on a girl doesn't make it unisex
Piper
Olive- yuck
Lucy/Lucinda- trailer park, and not the nice ones by the beach. Juanita gives me the same image
-aden, -ayden, -aiden
-iana- Ariana, Eliana, Christiana, Luciana (loosey-ah-na)
Random virtue and concept names- Humility, Bravery, Modesty, Remembrance

I don't think there is any names I hate specifically, it is a strong word afterall...But there is names I don't like (mispelled names, masculine names on girls etc etc)

There is also names that have Nameberry appeal that I don't like at all.

Elijah
Ezra
Scarlett
Clementine
Silas

I also found it funny that my name has been repeated on this topic too because it is too popular at the moment. Oh well...

There's no point mentioning made up or kre8yve names so just sticking with names people would consider real:
Eliza - Just sounds like "LIES" with a couple extra letters tacked on.
Josephine, Phillipa, Donalda - and most of the other feminisations of masculine names actually. They just sound like someone couldn't be bothered to come up with a girl's name and just added a few letters to whatever they'd choosen for a boy.
Silas - Would be a good name for a pet snake.
Soren - "Sore-end"
Ezra - don't know why, just don't like it.

I also am not a big fan of either ultra-frilly feminine names or hyper masculine names, but I wouldn't go so far as to say I hate them.

Disclaimer: I fully recognize that there's not actually anything wrong with these, or most of the other names mentioned and just because they are not my style, doesn't mean there's anything wrong with giving them to a child.

Fifi, Persephone, Candy, Sugar... anything unbearably girly. I also do not like old-lady names like Olive, Ethel, Gertrude, etc. As far as boys' names, I'm a little more lenient, I guess. It's really just the occasional individual boys' name that I dislike. And any name that will always be either mispronounced or misspelled because they have "creative" spellings.

I don't like Charlotte, Scarlett and Violet - all nameberry favorites, not ones I care for.


All the manly surnames being used for girls - things like Emerson, Sawyer, Sloane......they are just so highly unattractive and will be SO outdated in a couple of years.

Most of the names are ones I really don't like rather than hate and a lot of them would be the traditional 'chav' names where I come from, like Charleigh, Portia, Sharon, Chelsea, Maverick, Emerson, Bailey, Chardonnay, Brianna, Britney, Whitney, Tiffany, Brendan, Tyler, Taylor, Ashley, Riley... etc (sorry to any non-chav bearers of these names! It's just... negative connotations)

I don't like dated names either- like Tracey, Linda, Brian, Barbara. Then there are the stupid names like Alykzsandr, Apple, Rainbow, Fifi and Peaches and whatever else Jamie Oliver and Bob Geldof named their kids.

From some of the names popular on here and in the US top lists, I can't understand Atticus, Audrey, Wyatt, Wesley, Greyson... There's a big difference in US and UK naming styles, which I think is a good thing because it's introduced me to a load of names I hadn't heard of before

Other than that most names are fine, if not my style.

[emjae]

It is a perfectly fine name, but I can't stand the name Caitlin, kaitlynn, etc. any variation. I think it is more so because of the people and associations I have made with that name, so it's not a fair bias.

[ummokayyeah]

Sloan, Bronwyn, Greer, Brynn, Harper. For boys Jagger.

I cringe every time I hear these names. They are so aesthetically ugly to my ears. It's purely based on their sound. They are unattractive to me, and I can't get what other people like about them at all.

[artemis815]

Pretty much anything with "bree" in it. Brianna, Brielle, Aubriana, Aubree, etc. I can tolerate Aubrey but ONLY with that spelling. Also Briley, Braylee, Braelyn, Brayden, Brady...I just don't like the Br- sound. Also pretty much anything that ends in -iana...Eliana, Aliana, Aviana, etc. Even though some of them are legit names, they just sound made-up to me, and very frilly.
