Names you just can't stand

[LostTimeLady]

I don't hate any names really (although I find it terribly embasaring when I miss-pronounce obscure names) but what really annoys me is when people name there kids after places, like, Paris, or objects, like, Peaches, or something that they've obviously picked off babynames because they wanted a child with a name with that particular meaning.
So really what I'm saying is, celebities naming their children is what annoys me, and the fact that normal people are starting to do the same! AHHHHH!!!

(P.S. No offence meant if your name is Paris or Peaches, it's not the names themselves that annoy me, but the kind of people that would name their children that, i.e. celebs).

one type of name that really bugs me are the ones with really weird spellings.

Niamhe for example, is irish and pronounced "Neeve". I understand it's been translated but come on, since when has an m meant v?

Another one, Caoimhe. it's pronounced "Keeva". WHAT?!?

oh and so I'm not discriminating against the irish, my little cousin is called Luke. However his parents are tools and tried to be a bit European so spelt it Luc. That's not short for Luca or Lucas (They hate those names apparantly), Just Luc.

Chardonay is a fucking terrible name.

I thought that was wine?

Occasionally you head into McDonald's to order a double cheeseburger meal with a large coke, you see the nametag of the girl serving you, and you feel so damn sorry for her because her parents were inspired to name her after one of their favourite alcoholic beverages...

That said; John is my top pick for names I can't stand. It's just so goddamn generic, can't walk half-way down the street without hearing about someone named John doing something. Plus there's the fact that nearly every damn action film hero is named John. And worse still; everybody else has a more inventive name than he does...

"Hey John?"
"Yeah Julian?"
"Tell Marco that Salvatore wants to speak to him, Carlos, and Zachariah."
"Got it, Julian. Wait, what about Dante and Quentin?"
"Eh, they can drop by if they like, it don't matter. Just as long as Ezekiel stays out of it."

Chad.
No offense to any Chad's out there, but I've never met or seen a Chad who isn't a douche.
Any Chads out there, feel free to change my mind!

I'm not petty enough to hate a name, it's a name... get over it B)

What film's that? The Bible and Spanish Inquisition Reunion? lol

I don't dislike any names... at all.
I see some people saying they don't like certain names, such as swedish names or African-American names, and so on.
Has it not occurred to anyone that perhaps these names have a certain meaning to the person that we do not understand?
Take my last name for example, Silbernagel, German name meaning "Silver Nail", from what I have found out its an old Blacksmith name used in Germany.
How many other names have certain meanings behind them?

Then of course you have celebrities naming there kids "Apple" like someone else said... and yeah... thats a bit stupid I agree... but nothing I hate.

Fuckin' Tristan...Bastards.

'Derek' always makes me cringe a bit for some reason.

 

[Johnny Cain]

Any name that ends with an 'I' thanks to a parent thinking it would make their child unique or extra likeable or some such crap.
Examples and casualties:

Ami
Abbi
Tobi

 

[Vrex360]

'Wyborne'

Seriously I said before and I'm saying it again but really this has to be the meanest name you can give a child. You might as well have just written on his birth certificate:

"You were an accident!"

In big bold letters. It's just so cruel and you know that this name warrants millions of playground bullying sessions that will eat away at that kid's self confidence for the rest of his life.

Actually, it is pronounced 'Cu-ee-va', or 'Kweeva'.

Gaelic spellings of names are phonetic in our language, why the hell should we anglicise them?

My sister's name is 'Niamh', my brother's is 'Eoghan' and they both look and sound just right to us.

 

[Mr Thin]

Egbert
Reginald
Percival
Randy (not the shortened version of Randall, actually Randy)
Gaylord (real name I swear)
Bobby-Joe
Billy-Jean

That's all I can think of for now.

So you've seen it?

 

[DarkHourPrince]

April, June, ones that are named after months. And those weird ass things celebrities name their kids? I can't think of any examples off the top of my head but they're for the most part rather off the wall.

 

[Vet2501]

Diesel, f***ing Diesel! It's bad enough that every other dog I see is called Diesel, but when people start calling their child Diesel... It's something that you put in your car, it is not a bloody name!

In one of my history classes there was a girl [sub][sub](African-American)[/sub][/sub] whose name was Renay. I really wanted to find her parents and say "You spelled Renee wrong".

'Wyborne'

WTF?

 

[Cakekey]

Blake, Chad, and, oddly enough, Shea, which happens to be the name of a girl I'm practically in love with.

Bertha. Have you ever met a Bertha that isn't obese? Me either.
