Name Nerds! features (2024)

Name Nerdsmain

Aaron....Idislike because...I get a headache when I hearit...it sounds like arrow.
Abigail:

• Abigail/Abby/Abbi,etc. - as a pre-k teacher I can assure you there are enough Abbys! Yes,it's cute, but it is no longer different, and spelling it or it'snickname creatively will not change that.
• I for onecan't imagine anyone under the name of 50 with this name. Abby is nice,but Abigail is a bit too far, don'cha think?
• I havealways thought Of Abigail as a old lady name. I cant picture it onanyone who is younger than 100

• I dislikethe name Addison because it is a last-name and a boy name that MEANSSon of Adam. It has been taken over for girls despite what the realmeaning is. I also dislike how these name book authors who I oncerespected are changing the traditional meanings of names to pleaseparents who want to give names that mean son of to their daughters andtell them Addison means daughter of Adam, etc I just don't care fornames for girls that have the word son in it. What's next having a sonand naming him Bobdaughter or Jennidaughter?

• If you'reIrish, fine, if you're not, back off! Stop ruining their lovely names!
• Aiden/Caiden - Everyone I know who hasnamed their son this thinks theyare being unusual ... check it out folks, these names are NOW verypopular and your son will go through school being known as Aiden T. orCaiden W. - Face it, these are now common names.
• Aidanand any names that rhyme with Aidan.There are plenty already, andputting C, K, Br, or J at the beginning adds pretention, notuniqueness.

• Heyheyhey,it's Faaaat Albert!
• this namemakes me think of grumpy old men

• Clack,clack, clatter, no softness to this name at all.
• This issupposed to be a boy's name, and it's too hard-edged for my taste. It'snot soft and pretty like a girl's name should be.

• It's toonasally, sounds really stuck-up.
• There arejust too many ways to pronounce this name. Uh-LISH-uh, uh-LISE-sa,Uh-LISS-Uh, etc. There are also two billion variations on the name:Aleesa, Alyssa, Alisa, etc. No little girl wants to have her namemispronounced or misspelled all the time.

• being myname, I have heard "You're a man, duh!" way too many times. This is whyI will always be Mandy.
• My name isAmanda and there are always at least four other Amandas everywhere Igo. "You're Amanda O? No... Amanda M, right?" gets really tiring.
• Soundslike a cheerleader, and too over used. I had a high school class withfive of them.
  

• She andher sister Krystle'sglory days were when they made the varsitycheerleading squad. Unfortunately it was downhill from there.
• This is alovely name. Don't spoil it with over use.
• Giving aperson the name of a stone as a name is just a little pretentious, orat least I think so. That goes for Emerald, Ruby, Pearl, Sapphire,Diamond, and other similar names as well. It's a little like namingsomeone Gold or Silver - it sounds kind of silly. Also, there are lotsof words in other languages that have the same meaning, so there arealternatives for people that hear the names and think of beauty andelegance. Just remember, there can be gaudy costume jewelry too, andthat could be another common association...

• creepy...
• There aremore practical ways to show patriotism than naming your child after thecountry.

• The babypops out. "Crud, I didn’t think of a name! Uhh... Amy!" It'slikea name you use when you can't think of anything or a name used when youreally don’t care what they’re gonna be called.Talk aboutboring. Lots of Amy's are also psychotic. And let's face it- the namehas very babyish qualities to it.
• Okay Iabsolutely dispise this name for many reasons. First off its way toocommon. Plus when I hear the name Amy I picture a boring annoying girl.Now I have an aunt Amy and she's an execption to my beliefs as I assumethere are plenty others. Finally I know way too many girls named Amythat have just been awful experiences even knowing them.
• My name isAmy, and it sounds to babyish. I would've added another name to it.

• snooty andpretentious without being cool. It's a nickname, like Muffin.
• This is myname. I don't like it a lot, but not for the obvious religiousconnotations. It's just the fact that for as long as I can rememberpeople have been spelling it Angle. As in "triangle". Also, whenever Itell someone my name, they automatically assume it's really Angela orAngelina or Angelica or WHATEVER. I practically have to show them mybirth certificate to prove it! So, while it's a lovely name and soundsbeautiful, I wouldn't wish it on anyone else.
• Angel isabout one of the most un-masculine names there are, and I've comeacross several boys with this name. Of course, the parents think it'scutesy, but in reality, that little boy is going to be teased every dayof the rest of his life, until he's an adult who can't stand it anymoreand finally ends up going by the nickname Angus.
• what areangels? Yeah, that's right. They're dead people.
• This nameis also an adjective and no one is really an angel.
• I don'tknow where people get the idea that angels are all beautiful women inwhite dresses hanging out on clouds with harps, that get their wingsevery time Jimmy Stewart rings a bell. In the bible, angels can bepretty mean; leveling cities and generally carrying out God's dirtywork. Thus said, either way this name seems like an awful lot for achild to have to live up to!

• It's just"an" with an extra N. An apple, an orange. It's a word used to replaceA when the next word starts with a vowel. Who made it a name?
• yep thisis my first name. Bad enough everyone on the planet has this as amiddle name and feels compelled to let me know, then people ask why mymother didn't give me a "real" first name as opposed to a middle name.

• Ashley/Ashleigh/Ashlee:First of all, this used to be a man's name. Second of all, it isentirely WAY too common.
• because ireally think that they are taking over the place.
• Ashley,Ashleigh, Ashlee-Ashley and any variations. This name is actuallyhistorical and used to be a man's name (Anyone remember "Gone With the
  Wind"?), and even then it wasn't so hot. The beginning, "ash", seems tosuggest a person who smokes.
• Extremelyoverused, and sounds too much like a dumb blonde; besides, it wasintended to be used as a man's name!
• It is aboy's name and completely overused for girls!
• Ashleigh/Ashley:4% of the student population at the school I teach at (400 students)have this name - boys and girls! Snore. Not very original.

• When Ithink of Aspen, naturally, I think of mountains. Which is notaltogether bad, except for when it is associated with a girl. Let'sjust say I hope she's not well endowed. An example of what one mighthear in the boys locker room: "I saw Aspen's mountains today, guys!"
• anytimeyou start a name with and "as*" sound, it's NOT good

• Only nameyour child this if he is going to grow up to be a Scottish Laird.
• It soundslike the reject version of "Audrey". Maybe a 70 year old lady wouldhave this name, but I'm pretty sure no other generation under that willhave a name close to that.
• veryunmanly, probably due to it sounding so similar to Audrey.
• Currentlyexperiencing a modest revival as well as a sex change. Does no onerealize that this is in fact a male name? I mean, etymologicalgenderbending is one thing but sheer ignorance is kinda annoying...oramusing, your choice.

• reminds meof the word Ovary.
• rhymeswith slavery?

• Are youthe farting, annoying, kid named "Bart" off the Simpsons? do you fartalot? a kid with name will most likely get the nickname "Farting Bart".Do You want your kids to go through that?
• It rhymeswith fart and also barf.

• All I canthink is: poor Peter McKay...
• This namedoes not age well...I am unable to imagine any adult women with thisname. It's the samedifference as a five-year-old named Mildred.

• For methis name conjures up images of beached whales.
• bertha isone of those names that would come form down south..i may live in thesouth..south carolina to be exact..but come on. someone has to think ofsomething better than that!
• Thearchetypal "naming don't" name. Most people associate it with a loudold lady. Hopelessly out of date.

• It soundslike the action Braiding pronounced Braid en'
• To me itsounds like a verb pertaining to donkeys and mules. "What's thatnoise?" "Oh, it's just old Pedro braydin'."

• Sure, I'llname my child after an alcoholic beverage! Her brother is Martini!
• Any timeyou use the name of a type of alcohol to name your child, you shouldwonder where the motivation comes from? What's next? "Come here, Rum"

• "Braxton-Quackston".Also, sounds like a hillbilly name .
• Did themother misread her medical chart? Welcome to the world, Braxton Hicks.

• This is anice name, but do not attempt to use it outside of Ireland.
• Soundslike birdsh*t or "bridge it." Not at all pretty.

• There'sway too many of them. Definently a cheerleader name. Can you imagineBrittany as an old lady? Didn't think so.
• WAY tomany of them and putrid to boot.
• Brittni-I dislike this name; it sounds like a snobbish cheerleader who'sobsessed with makeup. Besides, it is butchering the spelling of thename Brittany, which is beautiful in itself.
• This is myname...*sigh*. First of all, it's way too common. In one of my sixthgrade classes a long while ago I was known as "Brittany E." becausethere were three of us in the class. Second, there are millions ofdifferent ways to spell this. We did presentations in eigth grade inwhich we had to give feedback on peices of paper, and 55% the kids inmy class spelled my name wrong. "Brittney", "Britni", etc. Thepossibilities are endless. Third, over the age of twenty-five, thename'll be liked even less. It's great for little kids, but on anadult...beware, cuteness will have you puking. Fourth, the nicknames.My little sister calls me "Brat-ney". Fifth (I just keep going...) itdoesn't really have a meaning. I looked up my name and all I discoveredwas "a region in France".
• soundslike bratny
• It's like,totally a cheerleader name, like, I mean, whatever ya know?
• I feelthat this name is too popular. I can name at least 20 little girls withthis name. I also think that the name is too cute for a 30-year-oldwoman.
• Brittney:I can't picture an older lady name Brittney either and I also think itsounds like a snobs name.

• the actualirish is cailín and pronounced kinda 'kyle-ye-een' (mostpeoplecant get the 'ye' in there without sounding like their having a seizurebut irish pronunciation is difficult)
• (1). achild named this spends half of her life telling people her name is notKATELYN. (2). It's a flash-in-the-pan made up name riding the coattailsof Katelyn. It has no substance, merely made up of syllables. (3).Today's adorable little trendy name will die out as quickly as it camein. Kaylin is the Myrtle and Irving of the new millennium. (4). babyname books list it as being Irish, so everyone thinks it is... but theyare all totally wrong. the irish word<i>cailín,</i>is pronounced /CAW eeleen/ (see Colleen) and means "girl." It's likenaming your daughter "girl," but pronouncing it like "jeerl" to make itfancy.

• Caitlin/Katelin/Kaitlynneetc.-over used in places likeamerica, australia, england. sayscheap to me whereas the irish caitlín is 'catch-leen' andmuchmore pretty.
• Caitlyn-Every Caitlyn I've ever met has been a dumb blonde cheerleader.
• Doesn'tanyone realize that Caitlin is an Irish name? And that the Irishoriginally spelled it Caitlin. The same with all the other variationson Caitlin. Caitlyn, Catelin, Catelyn, Kaitlin, Kaitlyn, Katelin,Caitlynn, Catelynn, there are so many spellings and they are all WRONG!Plus then the kid never gets her name spelled right. I cannot standthis. It drives me crazy all the wrong ways to spell Caitlin. (and Ididn't even list them all!)
• Kaitlyn/Katelyn/Katelynn,etc ad nauseum Way too common;when you try a spelling variationon the same old name, it does *not* make it unique and fresh again.
• Kaitlyn/Caitlin:Think of an actual spelling sometime, please. It's so overused and noone ever spells it the same way. I have actually met a Kaetliynn.
• In IrishGaelic, this name is NOT pronounced Kate-Lynn. It's more like cot-leenor coyt-leen. Naming a child Caitlin and pronouncing it katelyn is likenaming a child Juanita and calling her jaw-nitta. It's just wrong.
• I'm justtired of it
• Caitlyn,etc.: Unoriginal, plus I'm a Kate who *always* gets called Kaitlyn. (Mymiddle initial is L, too, so people think it might stand for Lynn.)
• Katelyn,Kaitlin, Kaytelyinne... I'mover it.
• Katelyn/Caitlyn/Kaitlin,etc. I have a friend who namedher daughter this 12 years ago,before it became popular - or so she thought. Now her daughter usuallyhas a number of other girls in her class with the same name. Whenever Iheard somebody say they were going to use that name if their babyturned out to be a girl, I just cringed. You TOO!? Be a LITTLE original!
• Caitelynne:Another messed up version of Caitlin that was bestowed upon my littlesister. It looks too trendy, very misspelled, and makes people doubtthe pronunciation!

• It's afine last name, but that's it: it should be kept as a last name. Itsounds like camera. Last names should stay last names.
• Kamerynetc. - All the alternate spellings of the name Cameron is getting wayout of hand. I find this name to harsh for a little girl.

• this namesounds like you are a chamelion except you are camoflaged as a flower.
• This namejust sounds like a stuck up girl, who carse about no one but herself.Why do you want you daughter to sound like she is stuck up?

• Basiclyits for women who want there daughters to grow up to be strippers.
• This nameshould be reserved for food. The name suggests a certain type ofpersonality which I don't think is flattering.

• It rhymeswith “molest”!
• I can'timagine this name on anyone under 80.

• gives achavvy,council-estate feel.think 14 year old mother of three, niketrainors, lots of jewellry and a white tracksuit.In the same line as'Mercedes','Chardonnay','Beyoncé' (i actually think this isapretty name and dont mind Beyoncé herself but it's likeMadonna-the connotation would equal bullying for life)
• This is apretty girl's name, in my opinion...it's when it's used for a boy thatI dislike it. Even if the name was originally male (I don't know ifthat's the case or not, I'm just using it as an example), I can't see aboy being called Chelsea, at least not with the A at the end. Maybewith a different spelling, but not like this.

• Itreminds me of chlorine, and sounds like blowing your nose.
• In Germanklo means toilet. Add an "e" sound at the end and it is like sayingpotty.
• This nameseems so "empty". I don't understand its recent popularity. It soundslike "cloy" which is to hinder, harm, obstruct, or make weary ordispleased by too much of something that is too sweet or too rich.

• Ugh. It'sso ugly sounding and it makes me think of a snobby, bratty girl.
• This is myown name so I can slag it if I want to – Trust me.It’s abad name to get saddled with. Cyndi Lauper? Cindy Crawford? I canhonestly say they ruined it for all us poor Cindys out there. Please,parents – don’t name your daughter Cindy! Myhusband’s first dog was named Cindy – just as aside note!
• I reallydo detest the name "Cindy." It is a little too popular for my taste,and the various spellings are unbearable and awkward. There have beenforeign names translating "Cindy" that lose their unique touch onceturned to the American "Cindy." I just can not bear this name.

• It'scheese! And also the COL- makes me think of "cold." I don't think itsounds like an attractive name at all!
• This isnot a name, it is cheese.

• Cheerleader.'Nuf said.
• WAY tomany of them and putrid to boot.
• Yawn.Boring. Another one of those cutesy names. Don't make me sick. I bumpinto at least 15 people named Courtney a day and it is utterly annoying

• It's justtoo popular, or at least it used to be, so I wouldn't advise using it -and I'm a Crystal myself. In elementary school, there had to have been3-5 Crystals in my grade at the same time, and all of us had to tack onour last initial or use a nickname so people could tell us apart. Eventhen, the nickname strategy often failed - after all, how manynicknames can you get from this name that aren't variations ofChris/Kris? And of course, whenever someone would call a Crystal forattendance, all of us would chorus "Which one?" because there was noway to tell who it was. The other potential problem is spelling. Thereare so many different ways to write it, yet almost all of them soundexactly the same, so even if you use a creative spelling, in the end achild with this name is still going to asked, "Are you Crystal with a Cor with a K?" Trust me, it gets old fast. It is a pretty name,though...just overused.
• I haveonly one word to describe this name: redneck!!!!!!!!!!! Also, it is nota name, it's a jewel, unless of course you're one of those psychicphone-line people (i.e. Madame Crystal).

• Soundslike a hyperactive dog to me.
• doesntthis name make you picture an old lady with a huge floppy garden hatwith a daisy stuck in it? well it does to me. or someone who's just abit too cheery.

• "Hi, myname is Dakota.", "I love you Auntie Dakota!", "Here is our PresidentDakota Whitfield!" Please put the name you want to give your childbehind Auntie or Uncle or President or Senator before you give it tothem, because you never know what your child may grow up to be. Icertainly wouldn't want to but the name Dakota on a collegeapplication.
• I can seenaming your kid after a beautiful place, like Paris or Vienna, but whowants to go to North or South Dakota?
• I can livewith place names in moderation, if they sound like names and the placehas actual meaning for the parents. But I doubt most parents namingtheir children Dakota have even BEEN to ND or SD, and I also feel it'sdisrespectful to the Dakota Sioux nation to stick their tribal name onchildren willy-nilly.
• Okay, itwas cute for awhile. But it's WAY too common. And I can't see myselftaking seriously anyone named Dakota. Imagine: U.S. President DakotaHenderson. Dakota Smith, Attorney-at-Law. Doesn't it sound ridiculous?
• Is this aboy name or a girls? Have all the thousands of people who named theirchild this ever even been there? And if they haven't then WHY wouldthey name their kid this?
• thereseemed to be a point when every second boy was given this name; itseems as though parents were trying to be unique but ended up being fartoo common.

• 'darleeeene,hitch up the trailer and get on your best pvc mini. we goin' dancin!leave the kids with bobbi-ann or bobbi-jo....' TRAILER TRASH
• For somereason, it just sounds like a drag queen's name.
• Dahleeeene- sounds like a window cleaning product - Windowlene - in fact any nameending in lene (leeeene) just sounds plain tacky.

• Pleaseworld - do not name another child David! It's a bland name with theonly redeeming quality of being able to call someone "Davey".
• I keep alist of how many I know. In a year I got 49.
• Astolerable as is the David, it should be banned. I was in a class of 15students of various ages (from 20 to 50), five of whom were namedDavid. This was not an all-male class (which I think would increase theodds). The name is a bit dull, and even the Estonian version of Tavi istipping over into the too-cute arena.

D'Ann- Thisname screams unwrapped Jolly Ranchers at the bottom of a purse, orslapping your kids and causing a scene in the customer service line atWal-Mart.
Daphne: Makes me thing of DaffyDuck
Debra- (this spelling) Because,as someone who speaks prettyfluent Spanish, it makes me think, "of (the) bra!"
DEBRA / DEBBIE/ DEBORAH Thecheerleader of the 80's. I just thinkit's boring due to overuse
DeeDee:Your daughter just might choose to becomesomething other than a cheerleader. But a "DeeDee" has NO choice.
Delaney:Just sounds like the last name of the nuttyfamily at the very edge of town, the ones in the bright green housewhose mom is 300 pounds and wears fluorescent stretch pants in publicand whose kids look like they never take a bath and live on Kool-aidand Skittles.
DELBERT Ican't picture a little boy with this name andit simply sounds like a small-minded old man to me.
Deloris: Tohave a name that sounds similar to a femalegenital organ..that poor kid..I wouldn't be suprised if this poor kidlegally changes his/her name by the age of 10!
Denise:

• I've nevermet a Denise I've liked more than a week. It's a nasal name, and Isuppose these unfortunate women who are named Denise become whineybecause they have to say and hear their names for their entire lives.
• This ismy name. I get "Dennis" ALL the time in school, waiting rooms,restaurants etc. It is also associated with the Greek goddess of wine.Great. Also, I was told by a prospective employer when I was young,"You just don't here too many young people with the name Denise, Ithought you would be 50 years old before I met you!" Nice.

• Destiny,Desirae, and Sierra. These arewhat I call Walmart names. You know,the names you hear women in sweatpants yelling to their kids atWalmart. Same goes for Dylan,Tyler, andLogan.
• Destinee-It is my destiny to find this name, as with most "noun names" toopretencious.
• If youchoose this name for your kid, then you're choosing her destiny as astripper/prostitute. What sounds more like reality..."Hey, I'm Destiny,welcome to Hooters. I'll be your server for tonight." Or, "PresidentDestiny sets new law: Prostitution is now legal!"
• This nameis waaaaaay overused. I know 13 girls named Destiny, and that was justin my first 3 period classes in high school.
• Makes methink of predestination. I'd rather name a kid Free Will. :-)
• Can'tshake the Desitin diaper rash cream connection, for one thing. Foranother, I'm not into these revamped Puritan-esque names. They have avery un-Puritanical effect, if you know what I mean.
• I don'tlike this name because it sounds trashy and tacky to me.
• TheDestiny I went to school with got called "density."

Donald Firstthing I think of - duck
Donna-It sounds so strict, and, in some cases, mean.
DorcasDork...A** . Need I say more? Id like to know whothought of that one?
DORISThis name brings to mind an unattractive, boringolder woman.
DOTThis has always seemed to me to be too short,meaningless and inconsequential. With all the beautiful girl's namesout there I can't imagine having to go through life as just a Dot
Doug:oh, so macho! The handsome guy with his love handlesfighting a losing and painful looking battle with his skin-tight jeans.The one who likes to start fights in bars but is always the onecomplaining that everybody else is out to get him.
Dustin:I know a doctor who had a patient named DustinThuhall. Say it out loud.
DWAYNE

• Dwaine:Children can be so cruel: "duh-wayne".
• I can'tpicture an intelligent or attractive man with this name. I, also, justdon't care for the sound of it.
• Knock,knock. Who's there? Dwayne. Dwayne who? Dwayne the tub, I'm dwowning!

• because itreminds me of dill pickles and it makes me hungry.
• Oh goodGod, I have no idea why I don't like this name. Probably commom-ness anthe dreaded "y" It's especially bad for a girl.
• This nameis overly trendy. I do not like the DILL sound it. I think it is verysoft for a boy.

• Makes methink of elephants. I associate Ellie with extremely large women.
• My ownnickname yes, but I get incredibly irritated by people giving it as aname in it's own right - it isn't!! . Short sweet and unusual nicknameslike this should only come about AFTER having experienced thehumiliation of being christened Eleanor or variant.

• way tocommon and i don't like the stereotype for the name- in your face.would never name my little girl emma because the would become emma h oremma b not just emma.
• this name(as well as Amy) always makes me think of soiled, leaking diapers. Ican’t help it!

• For somereason, Erin always makes me think of earrings.
• soundslike the noise people make while vomiting

• Ethan:something they make you breathe to put you to sleep.
• This justsounds gross. Also, it conjures up an image of a 7 year-oldwithsloppy brown cords, dirty hair and a snotty nose.

• ugly. Andcome on, it's a stereotypical nerd name if there ever was one, andworst possible way. Obvious target for bullying here.
• This isnot a flattering name.

• soundslike Eunuch, not a good connection.
• I can'tpicture a child with this. All the Eunices have got to be over the ageof 150, I swear.

• Seems likea girl's name. a BAD girl's name.
• woe to anyboy with Gay as the first syllable of his name.

• This is alead-containing mineral. Do you really want to name your child aftersomething toxic?
• This namereminds me of "chicken" in Spanish.

Gaylord -It'sa name that could bring a child hatred & would make a teacherreadit & say "very funny"
Genesis: Sheseems to have an invisible Touch!
George Soundslike an old farmer to me. Then George ofthe Jungle also comes to mind.
Georgia:It seems too clumsy and reminds me of a characterfrom an old episode of the Looney Tunes who kept saying "which way didhe go George, which way did he go." Not very feminine and it's becomingway too popular to be considered original anymore.
Gerald:

• Ugly, old,silly name. Not good.
• This ismy husband's name, so I can speak honestly about it. I don't like it. Iinsist that he go by Jerry, because I dislike Gerald so much. Just thesound of it for some reason reminds me of a dirty old man. Gerarddoesn't sound as bad to me, but i still don't like it.

• This wasmy nickname once.. Your child will beat you with bolling balls, fryingpans and anything you can think of.
• Soundslike gherkins!
• Never metanyone under 80 with this name, and hopefully I never will!
• Soundslike a grumpy grandma... It doesn't fit a little girl and the suffix"-rude" is not flattering for anyone!

• It's aconfusing name for other children to spell or read (speaking frompersonal experience I always thought it was pronounced "gladies" as inladies not "laddies.
• soundslike an irritable housewife who probably wouldn't spend any extra moneyfor Glad trash bags!'

• It's alast name! I hate when people give their kids last names as firstnames. Dick Grayson, anyone? Robin from Batman?
• It soundstoo much like "Grease-son" or "greasy". I don't know. It just remindsme of grease.

• go backethfrom whence thou came thou fiend from the middle-ages.
• I can'tsay it without wrinking my face up. It's just horrible sounding.
• I thinkthis is the most boring name in the world

• Hailie-infact Kailie, Bailie etc.theressomething....incomplete about thosenames, that spelling is just....wrong.
• I neverliked this name. It's everywhere now and it's not even that cute. Itsounds like an old lady name to me.
• I used tothink this name was cute until everyone started naming their daughtersthis. I just want to vomit whenever I see this name now, spelledalternately as Hayley (the correct spelling), Hailey, Hay-Lee, Hailie,Heylee, Haylie, etc. You could always use the similar-sounding nameHallie/Halle/Haley, or the Greek name Haidee.

• This namesounds like you are saying "hand a". It's just really nasally soundingand grating. I knew a German girl named Hannah, but she pronounced itlike "Haun-a," which sounded nicer and more feminine to me than theAmerican version...
• So manypeople like this name and I don't know why. It sounds like a very oldlady name to me.
• This justseems kind of empty, having heard it so many times.

• It remindsme of feathers, heaters, and eaters. It's too trendy and sounds likethe girl's easy
• Immediatelywhen I meet another Heather, I can't even take them seriously becausethere have been like 13 others that I have just talked with. -- Idislike this name because it sounds like the name of a color, not aperson! Also, I went to 5th grade with a girl named Heather Gray. Icoulden't help feeling sorry for her.
• Looks like"heater"
• This isthe most mundane name, if you like this name, you like every other nameout there, it's that boring, and it's also outdated

• I find itinsulting that someone would say the name Honey would not be takenseriously. My name is Honey (from birth), and I have had no problembeing taken seriously by anyone because of my name. There areprejudicies concerning my name, and of course there are women whomisuse it, as in the case of porn stars, and strippers. But I don'tlive up to that. I have grown to appreciate why I was named Honey. AndI am proud of who I am. Most men I've met like my name, it's mostlywomen who have had a problem with it.
• Thiswoman will never be taken seriously.

• Come on,it has 'whore' in it (when said aloud, obviously), for God's sake.That's a terrible association.
• Soundslike a stuffy, mean old lady with no friends.
• Not onlyis this name ugly in the way it rolls off your tongue, it reminds me ofhorse, and why would anyone want to be named after an old nag? Thisname seems to be only appropriate on 80-year-old-plus old ladies.

• it is aspanish name which means great garden. Not properly pronounced it neversounds good. also Hortense and Hortensia.
• I know twopeople with this name and it sounds just as unpleasant each time I hearit.

• Pleasedon't name your kids unless they plan on being a Hunter and killingneighborhood squirrels.
• This kidwill grow up wearing all camo and being a redneck who goes out andshoots squirells.
• That'sputting way too much pressure on the poor kid to be manly. What if hedoesn't want to kill things?
• What ifyour child grows up to be a ballet dancer? Hunter is way too violent aname to give a child, in my opinion.

• It soundsugly and whining - EEE-AAN! Say it over and over again and it sounds soweird.
  
• Eeee-ihn!Eeeeewwww! that nasal.
• There'stwo ways to pronounce it and it's too confusing and boring.

• Idaho, asin "I da 'ho!"
• “Idid this, I did that”. Sounds like a good name for anarcissist.Or alternatively, “I dunno?”.
• I think ofa very grumpy old lady!

• This isthe perennial boring name.
• crankylittle old Jewish guy who yells at kids who cut across his lawn

• I amJewish, not fluent in hebrew, but know a few words and "Where is the"is translated phonetically as "Ayfo ze ha" perhaps with someimagination one might make a connection to "Iso be la" but there is noreference to poop, there are probably a number of words for poop inHebrew as there is in many languages. I hope you will post mycorrection as it would be an injustice to sway someone from namingtheir girl with such a pretty sounding name.

• ick! myname is Jaclyn, and just because there are 50 million other Jackiespeople assume that's what i want to be called, and there's absolutelyno correcting them. Plus, it just sounds ditzy and stupid, acheerleader name.
• It managesto insult the nice names Jack, Jacquie, and Jacqueline. Whoever decidedthat Jackie is a valid nickname for Jacqueline must know a Jacquelinethat they dislike.

• Seems towork best in the younger years...Doesn't really stand the test oftime..I think it sounds pretty good if you are 2 years old!
• An okayname for a boy if you want half the neighborhood to come running whenyou call him.

  Jacqueline/Jacalyn/Jaclynetc.:

• Jacquelyn/Jacqulyn/etc.-I knew a girl in school whose name was Jacquelyn. Now when I hear thename, I think: Prep/Cheerleader.
• I thinkthe worst spelling I've ever seen is Jackalyn-- because when I hearthis name, all I can think of is "jackal" or "jack o' lantern."Pronouncing the Q, as in jack-wuh-lin sounds even worse.

• Jayden,Braydon, Caden, etc. - Tootrendy, and there are too many ways tospell it. No one wants to go through life having their name misspelled(I know that from my own experience). And they just sound like brats. Ican't picture a grown man with this name.
• Jaden/Braden/Caden,also Cailin and Jaylen.These arethe names of spoiled, bratty boys,to me. As a teacher, these sound like the slackers with too many videogames, who get mostly Cs, and whose mothers will call me at home,asking if their darling boys can retake the test for which they“forgot” to study.
• Jayden.Could parents name their child a name an wimpier than this?
• Jaden/Braden/Caden... Trendy to the nthdegree. Lacking form, soul andsubstance. Take the suffix -aden and throw the latest trendy startingletter at the beginning. The Garanimals of the naming world.

• There areway too many Jennifers out there. What appeal does that name reallyhold, anyways? It's really kind of..blah.
• This is myname. It was also the name of half of the girls born in 1971.Furthermore, my last name began with a "W", so by the time the teachergot to me every year all the nicknames were gone. Jennifer, Jenna,Jenny, Jen, Jen Anne, Jay and finally me. I got to be "Fer". Mostannoying for the child of vegetarians. Also, all the personalized tackyitems you want to buy as souvenirs as a child were always sold out. Idon't let anyone use this name or any variation of it anymore except inofficial capacities where I need to show ID. Sometimes in doctor'soffices I forget what it is when they call me.
• WAY toocommon! Why would you name your kid that? To have the same name asevery other girl in school? These are America's Mohamad.
• This is myname. Though I like my name fine, the fact that it is so overused thatit's often unbearable to me really turns me off to the name. I went toschool with plenty of Jennifers. I go by Jenn now just to distinguishmyself. The thing that's sad is, this name was too popular 26 yearsago, and it's still in the top 30 today! I just want to shout from themountaintops to parents DON'T NAME YOUR DAUGHTERS JENNIFER! As I say onmy site 'Your child is an individual - let her be so!'
• It's beenso common for so long, it's a cliché. And it's not evenpretty.If you really like the name, use Jenny or the original versionGuinevere instead.
• I think Imust have known 100 different ones in each class all through school.Very unoriginal.

• It's aword for a female donkey. Also it's way too common.
• I dislikethe name Jenny because i know like 5 of them.

• When I wasin fifth grade, there was this kid named Jeremy who was mean to me andmy friends, so we called him Germy, Jerky Jeremy, or Jerkamy.
• My sisterused to say it "Jermy" so now I always think of germs and unsanitaryconditions.

• This namehas always grated my ears with the hard "J" and "K" contrasted with thehissing "s". Whenever I hear people say it they always put a flat "a"sound at the end, too.
• Verycommon and with the nicknames that go along with it, its confusing. Younever know if you should call them Jessica, Jess, or Jessie.

• “Thisis my son Jet and his brother Cab. Oh, and don’t forget theirsister, Boat.”
• HereJet....here kitty kitty kitty! What are you going to name his littlesister "Fluffy"?

• With allthe names in this world, it seems a pity to choose one so mundane. Justbecause his father/grandfather/greatgrandfather was named John doesn'tmean you have to pass it on. It's like letting your mother-in-lawchoose your child's name.
• This nameis way too boring and way too popular. It's also a nickname for atoilet.

• This is anokay name for a boy, but there is no reason for it to become a girl'sname. Some of the names that converted from male to female a long timeago really do sound feminine. There is NOTHING feminine about Jordan.
• it soundslike your going to grow up as a basketball player. when it is a girls'name, the boys say you are going to marry the boy named jordon who isin your class. this is not a girl's name.
• There aretwo problems with this name. First of all, this is a boy's name, isn'tit? Why name a girl Jordan? Even if it was a feminine name originally,most people would see the name on paper and think the person with thename was a boy. Second, this is also the name of a brand of shoes, so Iwouldn't really choose this as a boy's name, either.
• Despitethis being my name I TOTALLY dislike this name.It sounds nothing likewhat I am, and it reminds me of fat peeps (of course im not fat). Imalso 1 one of the fastest peeps in my school and i dont know how todeal with money very well....

• glaringlyeffeminate goth guy who holes up in his room painting the walls blackand cutting himself, thinks Trent Reznor's way more than a middle-agedself-absorbed teenager.
• Soundslike a starving poet who’s kind of lost in life. Feminine.
• Try andconvince me this kind isn't going to get beat up all the time.

• ...and Mr.and Mrs. Case thought it would be cute to name their kid Justin. Plusit's already overused.
• This nameis overused, too. It also makes me think of the (horrible) song "JustIn Time".

• dontdislike it but prefer Kate, more grown up,prettier plus Katie is moreof a nickname.
• Katie: pudgykindergartner with fat pink chimpmunk cheeks, always giggling andsimpering. Fast forward ten years: the same thing. Fast forward twentymore years: a transformation! Katie has lost thirty pounds, gotten aboob job and a nose bob and dyed her hair platinum blonde, but she'sstill got the chipmunk cheeks and the girlish giggle!
• It'sjustsort of plain. And anywhere you go, there'll be at least 5.

• I dontthink anyone will use this for a while because of the connection toHurricane Katrina but the spelling 'Caitríona' is much nicer.
• soundslike the cat got stuck in the latrine (which is a proper word for'toilet')

• I dislikethe name Kayla because it is becoming to common a name.
• Sooverused it’s not even funny. Plus, it’s a littletoo“cutesy” for my taste.
• This namesounds so childish, its like you want your child not to live to seeadulthood when you give someone this name.
• the worldis overflowing with them now

• My cousinnamed his girl dog this, so every time I hear it on a person it isdifficult not to laugh, especially because this cousin had ADHD andoften made up funny songs about his dog.
• Too overused, sounds too much like Chelsea, it’s too cutesy. It mayworkfor a little 5 year old, but what about when the kid is an adult?
• For a boyit's outdated and think before giving a girl a boy's name because youthink it sounds cute. You aren't the one having to use it for the nexteighty years. It's like you being named Gertrude because your ownmother thought it sounded nice at the time...how would you like it?

• It's anadjective, most often used when describing underwear.
• The nameLacy seems to be a name that would characterize a ditz of a girl.Example: Loopy Lacy

• (1) Themale expectation for someone with this name usually lead todisappointment (2) People react to this name rather strangely“really?” “ are you aprostitute?” (3)Peopleask if you “know the song?” if they are from the50’sit’s “what ever Lola wants” portraying ashe devil,or the 70’s where the Kinks immortalize the name ,“LA<LA< LOLA<” as a transvestite, then in the80’s BarryManilow killed the name with “Cococabana”s drunkshowgirl…..or I hoped he had, but no such luck, Madonna had tobringthe name back to life! (4) The recent trend to use the name is too bad,it should die a quick death – I know I’ve livedwith it forover 50 years. (5) It’s a four letter word and peoplecan’tspell it! You end up LOLO (6) It sounds like the word used at GirlScout Camp for the latrine, the LALA (7) No child can pronounce ituntil they have undergone speech therapy
• It justsounds like a stripper or showgirl name.
• This namesounds like a trashy, ugly old woman to me. It also rhymes with "bowl",and "mole", among other things.

• Lor what?It's like it stops in mid air. Lor...oh, ee. OKaaay. Anything thatstarts with Lor I would keep my children away. Poor Lori sounds likebad words that are spelled a little different-lurking & luring,notto mention it's a rip off of Laurie--and I can't even go there.
• Lori,Lory- Makes me think of“Lorikeet” a type of parrot.
• I don'tcare for Lori, Lorie, Laurie... how do you spell it?? Because Idon't like names that can have a variety of "correct" spellings. Whywould you always want someone misspelling your kid's name? Same goesfor Kathy, Cathy, Debbie,Deborah, Debi, Debra, etc.Drives menuts.

• It'spronounced the same as "Loo" which is the British word for toilet.
• the fatherin the stands at the Little League ball game who cusses out the coachand the ump and all the other team's players and throws a fit when hisboy is benched for bad language.

• In French,lourd means heavy and that's the image I get when I hear this name, aheavy little girl... no offense to Madonna's daughter!
• Too hardto pronounce.
  

• This meansbearer or bringer of light. Satan has not been called by this namesince he was kicked out of heaven. He was renamed to Satan, or Devil,due to him not deserving such a beautiful name.
• someone Iwas talking too was thinking of calling there son Lucifer, why wouldyou want to name your son after Satan

• Somespacey girl up in a tree, eating magic brownies and saving hermenstrual blood to make a collage to sell at the Feminazi Flea Marketand Craft Show and Drumming Day.
• It bringsto mine someone who's either incredibly spacy or a preachy feminist whois always going on about "the power of women" and how evil men and themass media are.
• I know itrelates to women and the moon, both lovely connotations, but if I werein elementary school with a girl named Luna I just know I would callher Looney Luna. Plus it is becoming a popular brand name- there areLuna health bars for women, and, I kid you not, re-washable maxi padswith the brand name Luna. A great association, huh?

• Everygirl my age's middle name that isn't Ann or Marie. Yawn.
• stressedmother of 5 kids and the name's even worse added to the end ofsomething like Julie-Lynn or something
• It soundslike a 45 year old woman who has 7 cats and looks like she's 75. Lynn'sface is full of wrinkles and she is more than slightly insane.

• harshsounding
• Thisconjures up the image of a snooty sorority chick, a college girlobsessed with nail polish and sweaters.
• or anyversion of. I dislike the surname-as-a-first-name trend and I dislikeboyish names for girls. This is a double MacWhammy of the worst kind.

Maddigan: Iheard about some poor baby that recently got stuck with this name. Iseverely dislike it - its like its meant to be "Maddison" but gotcrossed with "cardigan". It's also an Irish family name. A family namefor a firstname = no! Yuck all round!

• Don't nameyour kid from a landmark in New York City.
• What's thedeal with giving your daughter a name with -son at the end? A daughteris not a son! Plus it's so common that the next time I hear it I knowI'm going to scream!
• colorless,dull
• I dislikethe name Madison. I feel like asking the mother of a little girl withthat name, "Is your child's last name 'Wisconsin';?"
• This hasgot to be one of the ugliest names on Earth.
• Toopopular, yes. Also: As a teacher, I can tell you that most of theMadisons call themselves Maddie or Maddy. These nicknames sound“ratty” and downtrodden. Maybe you think youwon’tuse the nickname. But other people will!
• This nameis not pretty at all.
• Everyperson I know seems to have a child named Madison. It's the mermaidname! It just reminds me of the movie "Splash" where Daryl Hannah'scharacter pointed out Madison Avenue and made that her name. Everyoneseems to forget this!
• Madison/Addison: Maddy is a veryunattractive nickname for a little girl. It sounds waytoo harsh. And Addison always makes me think of an Adder (snake).
• Madison isthe "Jennifer" of the future. I think most people probablyloved this name the first time they heard it (that is how a namebecomes popular). By the tenth time they probably thought it was o.k..But by the twentieth time, I for one became pretty tired of it. I thinkthe over use of a Classic or Traditional names is alright. But doesanybody still like the name Jennifer?
• Everyother little girl is named Madison and all I can think of when I hearthe name is MAD AT SON!
• it's alast name and a boy's name for that matter. I just don't get whatpeople see in this name. It's so unimaginative.
• MADISON/MADYSON/MADY: I fear my child will haveto memorize the last initials of all herclassmates because they will all be named Madison!

• I'veseen it spelled Malarie, which is just one letter away from Malaria.
• My name isMallory, but I prefer to be called Stacey. I'm writing because I wantedto write about the dislike of my name Mallory. I read a submission onMallory, and I agree with that person. This is my name, and I can behonest about this, I don't like the name Mallory. I don't like it forseveral reasons:
  1. It's sounds like malady which means sickness or disorder. Who wouldname their child sickness?
  2. It also sounds like Malaria which is a disease. Why would you wantto name your child after a disease?
  3. The prefix "Mal" means bad.
  4. Mallory means misfortune. Why would you want to give your child aname that means misfortune? Often times, I introduce myself as Stacey.
  One of the students I went to school with is named Stacey and I likethat name way better than Mallory.
• Totalvalley girl who only cares about make-up and cute boys. Either that, orat the total other end of the spectrum, a complete nerd with frizzy redhair, freckles, and big thick glasses.
• malorry,mally, any name with "mal" in it: theprefix mal=bad, ie.malodorous, malevolent
• malorie:one letter away from calorie

• Marieas a middle name - why not be anoriginal? How many people do youknow that have this middle name. As a joke and tounge in cheek, mydaughter calls her male friends .. "Justin Marie", "Carson Marie", etc.when she is mad at them. Because when your mom gets mad, she uses yourmiddle name and Marie is the epitome of a middle name.
• Makes methink of a crotchety old hag. Ah yes, and it does mean “fullofbitterness and sorrow”.

• Cute, butway too popular. Also, it has the unpleasant teasing nickname of "doormat."
• Yeah, theworld really needs 15 more Matts in every class.
• Sometimesit seems that Matthew is the emergency name for new parents who can'tthink of any other name. In itself it's a nice name, but there's toomany Matthews.. and what's the deal with the two T's anyways??
• Goodold-fashioned name, except for the fact that there's at least 20 inevery graduating class. Ditto for "David."

• Theparents couldn't settle for Kayla, so they had to put a big ugly Mc infront of it. Mc should be reserved only for last names, and McDonalds.
• Michaelaused to be a perfectly nice name until the people who can't spelldiscovered it and took it away to the trailer park.

• Anothervery unfeminine name. It sounds too sharp and angry. Plus, the mostdominant sound is “egg,” and who wants to soundlikebreakfast?
• I dislikethis name because it reminds me of a dog, Megan's beggan
• Lost itsfunky charm about a billion Megans ago.

Melanie- Likemelanoma, skin cancer.
Melina/ Malina/ Melena : Idislike this name as it is a medicalterm refering to the passage of blood in the feces.
Melissa

• Sounds toomuch like the word molest.
• my name-sigh! my parents named me this because it was 'unusual'- yes- ok- not!
• This nameis way too common. My name is Melissa, and I don't really like beingknown as 'Melissa H.' In fourth grade, there was another Melissa withan 'H' last name. We both ended with the same letter too! (( a 't' ))We had to write out our full name on tests since we had the same middlenames. (( Ann ))

• The nameseems to breed backstabbing and fake tans and peroxide blonde hair.
• is a nameI dislike and it's my own. I'm hearing impaired so I dislike Rochelleeven more. It rhymes with my name and I can't hear the difference. It'sbad enough that there are over half a dozen Michelle's at my work, sixmore in class, and now we have "Rochelle's"? Plus, nowadays we like tochange the spelling of everything: nobody spells my name right. So Iurge parents to not use this name, especially if the child is hearingimpaired, the name is too soft sounding, everyone has it, or they areRochelle.

• Two Words“Mildew” and “Dreadful”.
• This namecould be considered a synonym for dowdy! This name is drab and lifelessand should be happily filed away into the list of forgotten names.....
  
• This namecalls to mind a severe, plain, boring older woman. Also, I think theDRED sound is very unpleasant in both sound and association.

• Missy:like the female equivalent of Buster. "Just where do you think you'regoing, Missy?"
• When mymom or teacher was mad at a girl, she would say "LOOK HERE, MISSIE!..."It just doesn't sound like a name--it's like naming a child "young man"or "Lady Jane"

• I missedyou, Misty! This doesn't sound like a full name, more like a nickname.
• This ismore of a unicorn name than a people name.
• I dislikethis name, because it's mine to dislike. My name is Misty Dawn as ifMisty wasn't bad enough. First of all, "hello grandma Misty" ugh.Second, no one seems to know how to spell Misty (Misti, Mistie, Mystie,etc). Third of all, everyone had a dog, horse, or cat named Misty, andfeel compelled to tell me about it. Lastly, in the early 80's Porn StarJon Holmes dated a woman named Misty Dawn, and I have also been told itsounds like a strippers name.
• There isalready a submission for Misty. I am writing b/c this is also my nameand like the existing entry mine is also Misty Dawn and haveencountered all the same things like having a horse or dog named Mistyor sounding like a porn star. I wish I could meet this other Misty Dawnso we could commiserate together about it. Anyway, I want to add onething…I met a German girl at a party once and she told meMisty(actually spelled Mistie) in German means “lots of crap fromfarmanimals”…lovely, isn’t it!

• Molly- Iknow too many people who have named their dogs this.
• I picturea drug using nasty teen who is contantly playing the victim. Bettersuited for a dog anyways.

• ...Python?
• It's oneof those names that no one under the age of eighty has, and your kid isgoing to get jokes for the rest of his life.
• An oldman's name, or neighborhood bully. I wanted to use the name Montgomeryif I had another son, but then my husband said, "Yeah and we can callhim Monty!" It just turned me off completely.

• Isn't thata kind of horse? Sounds like "mortgage," too.
• Sounds tomuch like morgue, mourning, organ and organism. I wouldn't want my kidto sound like a liver or stomach.
• Too"old-fashioned-but-trying-to-be-new". Makes me think of cheerleaders.
• in themorgue, no doubt.

• Makes methink of someone who is homosexual. i.e., the phrase “NancyBoy”.
• Nancy Avery common name for people over 40! Too dated. Maybe it’llcomearound again in time for your grandkids, but for now it’sjuststale.
• the namereminds me of a not very nice person, someone cynical

• Mystepdaughter's name. I didn't mind it until a friend pointed out thatit was "I moan" backwards. It also bothers me when mispronounced.
• I alsohate my own name, Naomi. It sounds like a wimp and I am a very strongperson. Also, everybody mispronounces it. Even though the second letteris a
  long "a" sound, everyone changes it to a long "i" and calls me Niomi. Ihave never understood why people do this, but I loathe it.
• Althoughthis lovely sounding name trips off of the tongue nicely, all I canthink of is "Naomi cried for her children," from the Bible. Too dark.

• Soundslike an adverb to me, as in "he was nattily dressed." Not that that's abad thing, but it just doesn't sound like a name.
• Makes methink of those pesky little flying insects that get into your eyes
  
• The namealways seemed awfully nasal-sounding to me. Kind of whiny.
• I admitthis my name and most the time I love it but I always got stuck withNat as a nickname. Kids DON'T like being named after Bugs. Gnat

• On SesameStreet, there was a little baby monster named Natasha. I don't like thewhole "tash" sound. It's ugly.
• I've neverever met a nice or smart girl named this. They've all been dumber thana brick and "witchy."
• Boris, themoose and the squirrel are all the reasons why, it just sounds like ajoke to me because of that show.

• Niamh/Caoimhe/Aoife: yes, these are actuallnames in Ireland, but we ain't in Ireland, see?And nobody who isn't first-generation Irish or have a degree in Celticlinguistics is going to understand why they're spelled so strangely forthe way they sound.

• Soundslike Nickel - As*, yet tons of people still manage to like this nameand use it on their kids. And the nickname Nick is boring. Heck, thename Nick's in NICKname it's so common! And "Nick" reminds me of"Scar".
• It's justugly sounding.
• Inever liked this name, the nickname Nick is even worse. Every 2ndboy's name is Nick, Nicky, Nicholas. I wonder why people don't chooseto use a more interesting version like Nikoli, Nicoli. This soundsbetter to me.
• nicholas/Christopher Ishould like them, they're well established classics...yet they havesuch a childish feel to them that I have a hard time taking an adultNicholas or Christopher very seriously. The short forms are equallyunappealing -- Nick is a ding in a piece of wood and Chris is very fem.That they are ubiquitous does not help their case.

• My name isNina but for some reason people always insist on calling me Nikki. Itdrives me crazy. After 20 years, I just don't like the name anymore.
• Over theyears, I've come to dislike the name Nikki (short form of Nicole,Nikita,ect.) because it sounds all cutesy and makes me think of anattention seeking dolly girl (no offence). Also, whenever I watch asoap or programme aimed mainly at young people, there seems to besomeone called Nikki.

• One of thefew Russian names I dislike. It reminds me of the word "ogre".
• First ofall it sounds like a old Russian queen, or a hag or something. Itsounds old and musty. Also, there is a girl at my school called Olgaand everyone calls her Old Guy. Lovely.
• Olga/Helga- Brings to mind a hugeblonde masseuse from Norway or one of thosecountries and she has huge scary muscles and a mustache and is saying,"Olga/Helga break your back now!" or something frightening like that.Very manly.

• Hot dogsand the Grouch
• Only worksif you're green, furry, gruff-voiced and live in a garbage can.

• Peyton-wait a minute..seyton-macbeth's assistant...satan-the devil...pay-thebill?...the choices are endless.....
• I don'tlike this name because it is a last name. It also sounds like patent(long "a") which means "open".

• a guy'ssexual organ.
• Reminds meof peanut butter.
• Justreminds me of a saying my grandmother always says. "If you have amosquito on your peter, whack it off."

• If Ihadn't heard it spoken on "Friends" before seeing it written down in asynopsis of the show, I would still be pronouncing it "Phobe" as in"Phobia"
• Doesn'tthis name make you think of the word "fetus"? I can't imagine any womanunder the age of sixty to have a name like this!!

• Probablythe ugliest name I can think of. A Phyllis was born to be a cafeterialady. "Fill us with lunch, please!"
• Superugly-sounding. Total "old lady" name, and for some bizarre reason,immediately makes me think of horses. I doubt anyone would actuallywant their name associated with Mr. Ed and the like.

• This issomething you name an elf or a bird, not a child.
• How canthe poor girl be taken seriously when she’s all grown up? Toocute, not pretty.
• Like thepied piper, only female.
• I dislikethe name Piper, it's not very attractive and all I can think of is thewrestler named Rowdy Roddy Piper. I also can't help thinking of PeterPiper and his pickled peppers, and also The Pied Piper of Hamlinplaying his tune and all the rats following him. They are all Not verypleasant images for a sweet little girl!

Pippa-in Swedish, this is slang for "having sexual intercourse" - not a verynice name for a little girl!
Porter: Yes, I have heard thisname before, and I intenselydislike it. It's the name of the guy who takes your luggage up to yourhotel room, NOT for a baby.
Precious: Appropriate for littleyappy dogs donning rhinestonecollars, and owned by rich, old ladies.
Princess:

• Any childnamed Princess will probably think she is one and have the worstattitude...at least, the Princesses I know do. Save yourself years ofgrief and don't name your kid that. You'll end up with a royal pain.
• SeePrecious, only larger dogs.
• Sure, shemight be that to you. But she has to put this name on resumes someday.

• somegreasy guy at the gas station who tries to sneak looks up ladies'skirts while they pump gas. Has cut a peephole in the ladies' bathroomtoo.
• OK so itmight be alright in the USA but here in Australia he'd be teasedrelentlessly. Randy means horny. I wouldnt bestow that on any child.

• All right, this name isbeautiful, but Becky is not, and it is almostinevitable that Rebeccas end up as Becky.
• especiallyRebecca Ann- are we all from the trailer park? Everytime I hear it Ipicture barefoot, redneck children playing in the dirt.

• Nicemeaning (wolf, I think), but sounds like barfing.
• It'ssimilar to barf.
  

• It's anugly name, and most of the Richards I have met were arrogant and mean.
• You maynot choose to call him "Dick," but someone assuredly will!
• Richard --Way too stiff-feeling! And it makes me think of Richard Nixon who wascorrupt and ugly besides.
• Need I saywhy? It's a nice name but with that Dick connection, you're just askingfor trouble

• Nickname:birdbrain.
• Just can'tsee this as a name; it's too cute.

• This hasto be one of the most unflattering names I can think of. The“eww” combined with the “th”sound make itunbearable. It sounds too much like “Roof”.
• I knowit's Biblical, but it sounds like the noise a dog makes while barking."RUTH!! RUTH!! ROOOOTH!!!"
• I can'tthink of a worse name to call a baby, it's so harsh and tongue-twisting

• Soundslike a cross between Ryan and Nylon.
• "Oh, Ibought this great new winter jacket, it's down-filled, bright blue,made of 75 percent Rylan and 25 percent Gore-tex."

• It's juststupid! It's like naming your kid "Driver" or "Trucker" or "Pilot" or"Cabbie" or something equally stupid. It's an occupation. How about"Secretary" or "VIP" or maybe "Burgerflipper" because that's allthey'll ever be.
• What ifSailor fears the water?
• becauseit's a TITLE NOT A NAME.

• It has MANin it. Not even the masculine, Samuel, has man in it, so why should thefeminine? And Sammy is not the least bit feminine sounding/looking,even if you spell it Sami or Sammie or Samee.
• (My name,go figure) Its used so much. I greatly dislike sitting in my highschoolclass rooms, surrounded by three, or four other Samantha's. For yourdaughters sanity, name her something else. I once had 5 Samantha's inone class, two in which had the name letter to their last names, (oneof them being me) and, we ended up coming up with ridiculous nick names(Sam, Samantha, Sammy, Chica, And that one girl). I'm not sayingSamantha isn't a pretty name, it is, but it's used so much I don'tunderstand how I (or anyone else with this name) holds onto their ownmental conditions. Its just frustrating trying to figure out who yourboss/employee/peer/friend/acquaintance is talking to when there's morethan one Samantha in a room. You know what I mean?
• Samantha,Sabrina, Tabatha - Reminds me ofwitches. Who wants to be namedafter TV witches, no matter how pretty they are??? I certaninlywouldn't name my daughter that. I also think they sound "trashy".

• It's myname and it's not really the name I dislike, it's the pronunciation. Isaw a Bible movie once about Abraham and Sarah and they pronounced itSAH-rah. (Just FYI the movie was filmed in Iran or somewhere) I thinkthat sounds MUCH more attractive than SARE-uh...but who's going toremember, unless you're from a foreign country?Spanish\Mexican girlsnamed Sara (no H) pronounce it SAH-rah, and even have nicknamessometimes (Sarita, Sarina, etc) but no matter where you go in Americaand no matter what spelling it seems to be "SARE-uh." I do dislike thatno matter what spelling it's common, but I think I might be able tolive with that if I could just get people to say it the way I want!
• Soundsbabyish. A princess in their parents eyes, very SPOILED. One of thosekids who sucks their thumb till they are 9, later sucks their dad'smoney away, gets a $4000 drum set or whatever without second thought asa teenager because their parents are so afraid of the baby tantrums shethrows when she doesn't get her way.
• allthrough middle school and high school there were two Sarah's with thesame last name, so they went by "Sarah brown" and "Sarah blonde" fortheir hair color.
• WAY toocommon! Why would you name your kid that? To have the same name asevery other girl in school? These are America's Mohamad.
• one word-common! there are 6 sarah's in my year alone!!!!!!!!!!!!! enough said
• People usethis name because it means princess. and okay so who doesn't want theirlittle girl to be a princess, but it just gets so annoying! Everyone isnaming their daughters Sarah!
• Sara/Sarah:Again, it's really overused. I'm friends with about 4 different Sarahsright now, and there is really no convenient way to tell them apart byname unless you know them. When someone talks about some girl with thisname, you always have to tack on her last name, or at least the lastinitial. Though I have nothing against the name itself, the probabilityfor someone else having the same name and the same spelling is veryhigh, so it should probably be avoided. For example, right now I knowtwo girls called Sarah K. And yes, they're both Sarah-with-an-H...sowhen they're in the same room, people always call them by their lastnames instead. They don't mind, but I'm sure it gets annoying to be oneof many people with the same name.
• WAY toocommon. Even if you absolutely love it, your kid won't. They'll have tobe Sara B. or 'Sarah with an h.'

• All theScotts I went to elementary school with got called "Snott."
• My name isScott and I always disliked the name. A hard time in school with therhymes like, "Scotty went Potty on an Enchilade". It also sounds like abrainless blonde surfer dude.
• I actuallylike this for a boy, but I've heard rumors about it being used for agirl, and that just doesn't work

• Shawn/Sean:I don't know how to explain it, but it sounds nasely and wimpy in away. And whenever I see Sean, I always pronounce it as Seen.
• Rhymeswith “yawn” (as in boring!),“pawn” (as in pawnshop) and “con” (as in con-artist). It just strikesme as atrashy low class name.

• Sierra/Cierra: This is a perfect name--for an SUV.
• Sierra,Ciarra, Cyerra, etc...I can'tstand hearing these names any longer!I don't think it is a "cute, uncommon name" I have never liked it.
• This nameis not that popular but its getting there.
• I'm sorry,I can't imagine a grandma with this name, and every time I meet alittle girl with it I think "ooh... over-trendy parents."

• I'vealways thought this name is really ugly. It makes me think of stuffing,which I can't stand.
• It soundslike "Step On Me", and it's too ugly.
• It’sa ugly name period. Think of the possible nick names child will come upwith: “Step-on-me” or calling her“fanny”.
• This is myname, but I am changing it. I have always thought this name is ugly-sounding and weird. Having the "st" and "f" sounds so close
  together is bizarre, and the "uh" sound makes it even worse. I don'tunderstand why so many people think this is a pretty name.

• Soundslike a law suit.
• This nameis so common especially for women born in the 40's and 50's that itmeans nothing.

• Soundslike a sex toy
• It's likeyou were eating Tater Tots and then got heartburn...and had to takeTums.

• I like itbetter as a boy's name. Girls have really taken over this one! Seemsvery generic, and with no soul.
• Taylor/Tyler Now girls are beingnamed this too. This is just sopopular and totally over-used.
• Taylorand Tyler: These two weren'tparticularly great presidents, both ofthem pro-slavery, and Tyler joined the Confederacy as an old man. Sowhy name your baby after them? They are especially bad for girls, forwhom they sound snooty.
• Taylor/Tyler: Cheesey and so extremelycommon. Don’t parents think aboutthe 10other male and female versions of each that will be in class with themsome day?
• This is aplace you get your clothes hemmed, not a name!

• Tiffany orany variant thereof: It sounds to me like a pom-pom princess and forsome reason makes me think of cotton candy, all pink and fluffy butwith no real substance.
• So over.
• Thisoriginally became a name because of the lamps. Someone decided it wouldbe a cute name. Why would you name your child after a lamp? Or ajewelry store, for that matter?
• I can'tpicture an old lady named Tiffany and I personally think it sounds likea snob's name.

• It's thecapitol of New Jersey!! I can't think of a less romantic or interestingplace on the planet to name a child! OK, maybe Cortland (NY). It alsohas the unfortunate side effect of sounding like "trench mouth" to me.
• Why anyonewould name their child after a city in New Jersey is beyond me. Theshortened form, Trent, is unattractive and abrupt.

• hard tosay distinctly, comes from a dumb movie, and it was the name of thecompany I used to work for.
• I wouldassume that someone named Trinity has very religious parents. So maybeyou ARE religious, but do you need to advertise that fact through yourchild’s name?
• Themeaning of the name aside, it can sound very pretty...but think aboutit for a moment. After the popularity of the Matrix series, how manypeople will meet this little girl and immediately think of Neo'sgirlfriend? But in general, I think naming people after popularcharacters is a bad idea - others will see the name and think of thatcharacter and his/her traits whether you want them to or not.
• Dependingon the way you look at it, this is either a name of God or atheological concept. Would you name your child Jehovah, Allah, orTransubstantiation? Didn't think so.
• Its eitherover-the-top pious or borrowed from a movie where it served assomeone's screen name. What's next? RedDogg482? What's worse is that inspite of its heavy religious overtones its tends to bestow upon itswearer a more tasseled and g-stringed sort of a feel.

• I know atleast twenty Tylers, meeting a few more each month. I espsecially hateit when it's used for a girl, b/c it sounds so masculine. It doesn'tsound like a name, more like a job. "Honey, when's the Tyler (tiler)coming to tile our new bathroom floor?"
• I'm alittle more lenient with Tyler because a while ago I met a Tyler who Ifell crazy in love with. I still don't like the name though. It makesme think of an 8-year-old boy on a skateboard thowing stuff at hisneighbors.
• hyperactivefour-year-old who loudly demands some neon-colored sugary cereal in thestore and when he doesn't get it, falls over on the floor, banging hishead and screaming fit to wake the dead.
• Tyler/Cody/otherlittle kid names: They sound like Wild Westbook characters.
• I dislikethis name because it makes me think of, well, someone who tiles floorsfor a living and what not. In other words, someone who has a low payingjob, lower class. Names ending with the “er” soundas ifthe parent is illiterate and can’t speak or right properly.Plusit’s too over used.
• There areway to many Tylers around
• foraboy or a girl. I don't like the"er" sound at the end of names. Igrew up in the South and Edna was Edner, Wilma was Wilmer, etc. Get thepicture.
• Tyler/anyvariation thereof: Pure whitetrash
  

• The personwho wanted to make a feminine for William probably had good intentions,but somewhere something went terribly wrong.
• Thenasal-voiced wife on the Flintstones........it is the archetypal nameof a nagging wife.

• soundslike something green and slimy you try not to step into.
• Oh no,another child named Zachary! But don't worry, there are so manynickname options, including Zach, Zack, Zak, and Zac!
• -It soundsvery childish, and also like the main character of Saved By The Bell.'Nuff said.

• Sounds toomuch like "zoo."
• Picturelittle Zoe as a 60 year old woman. Also, it looks like toe, which isn'tthe best connotation. And it just sounds stupid.
• Ipersonally find this name very empty and uninteresting.
• I findthis name to be unoriginal and way overused. -It is derived from theGreek Zoi, meaning life, but I never see it spelled that way, I onlyever see these common spelyngs: Zöe, Zoë, Xoe, ZowieandZoey. Zoe, however it is spelled, is like the next Kayla, MacKenzie orMadison. It gained popularity for being unique, and now it's justcommon.
