What names do you not like?

[ToscasMom]

When I was a kid I remember the Fenton family, essentially a trash family with tons of kids--like 15 or so, not including extended family. Some of their names were incredible. One was named Female (pronounced Fim All Lee). Got the name off the tag in the hospital, (Female Fenton). Another was named Nameless. I kid you not. The mother said that when she was born, there were no more names in the Bible for her, so she was Nameless. And I know you won't believe this but one was named Placenta.

I know it's been joked about , but my mother did actually go to school with twin girls .... Ima and Ura .... last name Hogge ... they're in her yearbook .

 

[ToscasMom]

OH granny, ROFL!

 

[Doberluv]

Oh my goodness. These are hysterical!!! I just remembered in girl scouts there were twin girls named Twila May and Lila Fay Smith. LOL. It might have been the other way around...Twila Fay and Lila May, but you get the gist. I thought that was such a kick...such fancy names and then plain ole' Smith.

My sister has a friend named Patrick Patrick. I can't imagine doing that to my kids. I just keep thinking of these things that were long forgotten. LOL.

I went to school with a kid named "Blake Bake." Let's just say I didn't care for that name. I also went to school with a Xyzzy. Her parents came up with her name by letting the cat walk across the keyboard...no, that's not a joke :yikes:

Anyway, I really can't stand names like Missy, Crystal, Noel, and Shasta. I don't really know why, I just don't take them seriously. I also don't like really old names for children, but I LOVE old person names for my pugs. In fact, my next pug will be Eleanor or Nora.

I love the names Kendall or Cassidy if my next one is a girl. For a boy, I love the names Collin, Everett, Ty, Garret and Hayden.

 

[bubbatd]

One more here .... not that it was a funny name , but a friend in College was Palmer Beverly and I always called her Beverly Palmer ......she got so mad !!

 

[Buddy'sParents]

I like my name, Nicole Marie. Sounds good when getting yelled at!

I guess I don't really dislike any names... they seem to fit each person and their personality.

An old friend's last name, Lipschitz, yup you guessed it Lipsh!ts. AHAHAHAH. Oh the jokes played on him as a child. His wife hates it, she didn't have to take the name but she did.

I love hubby's name- Demitrious.

That's all I can think to add right now...

 

[Doberluv]

Those are great names Showpug.

OK....just thought of a girl my daugher knew in high school named Shady Lane. LOL. Kind of cute, but contrived? LOL.

 

[Doberluv]

This thread is moving so fast, I never respond to some because they weren't there when I last posted. I'm going elsewhere for a while. LOL.

 

[~Jessie~]

Hehe, Shady Lane is cute

I knew a set of twins in elementary school named Summer and Winter. Funny enough, there are 2 papillons named Summer and Winter who go to our vet's office

 

[Squishy22]

I personaly dont like the name Cole or skyler. Skyler is a cute baby name, but not so much for a grown man. My fave boy name is Conner. I also like aiden.

I am more picky with female names for some reason. It might be unusual, but I like the name Asiah.

 

[~Jessie~]

I love the name Avery That is my favorite girl name. I also love the name Rylie.

I agree, Reggin, it is easier to come up with names for boys.

:yikes: :yikes: That is TERRIBLE!!


One of the girls in my class had the last name "Boehner"...I pronounced it all weird, and asked if it was right...she was like..."no, it is just pronounced boner" LOL. Luckily her first name is totally normal...

 

[noludoru]

I am, apparently "unbelievable" in my opinions on names.

What I hate is a common name. Any 'typical' name that you see (Rachel, Steph, Sara, etc etc etc). If I can name 5 rachels in one class, that's 4 too many. I was one--two at most--in my year.

I know weird names are hard to pronounce, but a name ought to be YOURS. No one should say "Derek?" and have to have 4 other people wonder which Derek they're calling, IMO.

My kitties are Emma, Chili, and Tom. Emma and Tom are very "normal" names, but around the house it's Nemma and Tomcat, and for Chil it could be Chileiyli (chih - LEY - lee). Get INVENTIVE! I love some of Tamora Pierce's character names... tell me Keladry is not an awesome name.

I also can't stand the hippieish names... Meadow, Siren, Flower, etc.

And Imogen. Imogen is such a cool name. It's a lot to be saddled with, but if you don't like it, 'Immie' or 'Gen' is good.

There was a college football player named Pooh Bear.

 

[SisMorphine]

I also don't like anything common. When you say "Sara" or "Jessica" and people have to ask you which one you're talking about that's just a bit absurd. I only know of two other people with my name, same spelling, and two more spelled differently. I still love my name, though, wouldn't change it for anything. But if I am ever cursed with the horror of having a child you'd best believe they'll have a name that barely anyone has heard of.

If they get made fun of, they get made fun of. Hell, I got made fun of and my name isn't that weird AT ALL!!



Oh and funny story: a girl I used to work with went to school with a girl named Virginia French . . . and they called her Vagina Stench. That became our code word when one of us thought that two of our (very secretly together) co-workers had snuck off to do it during a break. "It smells like Virginia French down here." LOL . . . Virginia French cracks me up . . .
