First names you would never call a child of yours?

Too many names to list, but especially any, that along with a last name, would invite jokes or ridicule!! Have seen and heard way too much of this!

What do parents think about anyway??????? :confused3
(Thankfully none in our families, as far as we know)
 

I'm going to choose my words carefully here, because undoubtedly several DISers have named their kids these names, so please don't take offense. I'll list the names I don't like in categories.

CATEGORY 1: "Trendy" names: Mackenzie, Mickayla, Emily, Colton, Weston, Connor.
CATEGORY 1A: Unusual spellings. Kyleigh, Emmaleigh, Gynnifer.
CATEGORY 2: Thurston Howell's Frat Brothers at Yale: Braxton, Bentley, Dunlap.
CATEGORY 3: Common Biblical Names: Matthew, Luke, Sarah.
CATEGORY 4: Obscure Biblical Names: Hezekiah, Gomer, Josiah.
CATEGORY 5: Your Grandparents' Names: Herkimer, Flossie

If Mrs. Homie and I had had kids, we'd landed on Elias William for a boy (we'd have called him "Will") and Holly Grace for our daughter (we'd have called her "Grace"). And yes, we named our hypothetical children Will & Grace.
 
Lots of them, probably some of them are people's names on here, I really don't think this thread is a good idea!

I agree!

There are many names I personally wouldn't use - because they wouldn't go with my last name, I have negative memories of someone with that name, I think they would invite teasing or confusion, or I simply don't like them. But I have no wish to hurt anyone's feelings over it!!
 
Yeah I agree, probably not the best thread. I didn't think anything of it until I saw my brothers name... lol oh well.
 
Michael or John

Nothing wrong with the names, there are just entirely too many of them! LOL
 
Since I'm the only one here who actually listed any names, I'm guessing I named your brother! Tell Hezekiah I'm sorry!

Maybe it wasn't you. He could be a Cletus.?..

:) I think the only feeling I have about this name is that The Simpsons and Dukes of Hazard have painted it in a not-so-pleasant light.
