I'm always making lists of names I like so I thought it would be fun to turn it around and list names I personally don't care for. It's only my opinion however and you never know, you might just find a name you really like among the ones I don't. Enjoy!
- Quincy
Origin:
French from LatinMeaning:
"estate of the fifth son"Description:
Quincy is a Presidential surname name that actually sounds both cute and strong when used for a girl. For the first time ever, Quincy joined the Top 1000 roster for girls in 2023, given to over 250 baby girls that year.
- Mildred
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"gentle strength"Description:
Is it clunky cute, strong and vintage, or dreadful and mildewy? Like Gertrude and Bertha, Mildred is one that divides the crowds, but with popular nickname Mildred and renewed interest in Winifred, Deborah, Millicent, and Gwendolen, it's not entirely out of the question that Mildred might make a return in coming years
- Beulah
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"married"Description:
In the Bible, Beulah is a place, not a person, applied to the land of Israel by the prophet Isaiah. The land of Beulah has sometimes been considered a reference to heaven. Beulah began to be used as a given name in England at the time of the Reformation and was used by the seventeenth century Puritans.
- Emmylou
Origin:
English compound name, Emmy + LouMeaning:
"work, universal + renowned warrior"Description:
This name is closely identified with Emmylou Harris, the singer who gives dignity to an old-style combo name. There were over 60 baby girls named Emmylou in the US last year, due the the popularity of all names Em-related and the stylish middle name Lou.
- Pansy
Origin:
English flower name from FrenchMeaning:
"thought"Description:
Pansy is an early floral name that lost credibility when it became a derogatory slang term for gay people. Better these days: Posy or Poppy.
- Salmon
Origin:
Animal nameMeaning:
"salmon, a fish"Description:
Possibility for fish enthusiasts, but works better for a boy.
