[disney4us2002]

Never really liked my name. Always wanted a popular name growing up. I still have to spell it for people as many think it's a K. Car isn't spelled with a K so I never understood the confusion. Anyway....

I would really dislike Bertha.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

I'm so glad my mother didn't know the name she wanted to name me was a family name, or I would have been saddled with Mehitabel. Hetty-lou for short. Thankfully, my dad prevailed.

As a teacher, most of the names I dislike tend to be those of the one or two students who haven't been my favorites over the years.

And there's no way on earth I'm identifying those.

Hate to tell you that I've know more than one Karla. And if you said your name, I would ask, C or K.

Crazy as it is, I've had my name spelled wrong. I've received things in the mail with it spelled, Merry and Mari. And I've even met people with the same name as me, but spell it one of those two ways. One was born on Christmas, so it made sense.

I wouldn't want to be named Chelsea. Or any other name that is a place.

 

[BunsenH]

Seven or Soda (sorry George)

 

[Jhaberlein]

I knew a Breathaknee.... She'd get very annoyed when people pronounced it Bethany.

Meaty

 

[mrsheppo]

Some of my least favorites have been Inez, Olive and Dorcas. I had an aunt by marriage named Berthadelle

My son has told me more than once that he's glad he was born a boy, because he dislikes every name I remember considering for a girl. And I think by the time I knew he was a he, there were still a couple dozen names on my girl list! At the moment, I remember Rebecca, Emily, Bronwen, Camryn, and Piper.

 

[DisneyFan32WI]

I don't really want to play this game because I'm afraid of hurting someone's feelings. Although, I will say that I dislike the trend in "old names" that are making a return.

Sadly, my name was one of the "disliked" names from a PP.

 

[lesliekatya]

I don't really like my own first name. Never been a fan of unisex names. Got called Les Nessman a lot when I was a kid, so that's probably why

 

[AnnaFloridaLover]

I don't know, it does seem rude to say out loud names you don't like, however, Meaty may be 1# on my list if I'm being honest.

 

[PopSugar]

I like one or two syllable names
I don't like really long name and parents insist calling the child that instead of nickname
Like Esmerelda

 

[Kitty 34]

Meaty

Dang it, I was going to post that!!!!

Nothing rude about it. No ones saying I hate Anna from Florida, just the name in general (if someone had said your name). You didn't choose your name so how could you possibly take it personally?

Me, I don't like my name. I think it's snobby and old fashioned. Plus, there's always the ley or ly question..I'm ly and it seems to be in the minority.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I really don't like the name Kirsten (no offense to anybody named that)... yes I know it is like a legit name, but it still looks like a typo of the name Kristen to me Devon, Devin, Devyn and other variants of the name... it just bugs me. I have seen boys named that and I have seen girls named that, too confusing.
