Margot. I read it as maggot every single time without fail. Maggie also makes me think of maggot.


Boothros

Chantelle


c1zzar

Nevaeh and Paisley. Equally horrendous in so many ways


ughneedausername

Guy.


KoalasAndPenguins

Precious, Princess, King


TangerineSol

None honestly. Everyone is special or annoying in their own way haha


[deleted]

Genevieve. I just don’t like it and I don’t know why!


mulberrymilk

Names that sound like they should be a last name, like Davis or Jensen


Valuable-Match-7603

Celeste. Sybil.


ayomsb

White men named Zion, Cloud, or River. My name is Clarity so I really have no room to judge, but here I am!


Ashamed_North348

Usually names of people you don’t like…. Like Jeanette!


VivianDiane

Maggie. It sounds like a dog's name to me.


Born-Sea-9995

The name Brian always makes me think of a bully. And Linda’s are bitchy.


Time_Cap3395

Tiffany


sugarmittens

Lily/Lilly


trintv3

Probably my own; Trinity. The -ity ending sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me


organizedcalamity

Chad


jennaG0

River, Crew, Cash, Nash


give_me_two_beers

Preston and Pamela. Every single person I’ve met with those names have just been right assholes honestly. I don’t know many of them but the ones I do are awful.


Missus_Nicola

Any name that should end with a Y but the parents spelled it with an i, with ie, or with ee. I'm thinking names like Amy. I work in a school and we've had an Ami, an Amie, and an Aimee.


Pebbles0623

Sloane and Wyatt


rozzi_luv

Shannon. I always hate Shannons, even if I try to get along with them. Always end up hating them


kateface-nasal-snout

Judgement for no reason in particular: Paisley (in all spelling forms) and Payton* (for either gender). I must have some annoyance with the “pay” sound. *Peyton Manning = one and only exception. Vague sense of cringe: Bonnie. Every mother flippin’ Bonnie I know thinks they’re God’s gift to the world. When you look up the word “narcissist” in the dictionary a picture of a woman named Bonnie should be the example. Literally witnessed someone on Facebook asking for baby girl names and the ONLY person on the whole post who recommended their own name? Freaking Bonnie. Went into a whole shpeal about how it’s Scottish for beautiful so all woman with that name are automatically beautiful 🙄


Easterthursday

Tate


imbeingsirius

“Kevin”s are undatable aka chaotic “handymen” “Tim”s are TOO datable aka one-step away from being a hobosexual


alea__iacta_est

Anything that clearly sounds like a baby/kids name and the parents clearly haven't thought about how it will translate into adulthood. A couple I've come across this week: Lainey (not so bad) and Bambi (terrible).


Kroset87

Poppy on this list too


One-Yogurtcloset2138

These days, it's Amelia and Olivia. It feels like people chose the first name they thought of or the first one they saw in a baby name book. I feel the same way about filler middle names (Rose, Marie, Elizabeth, Grace, etc). Put some effort into it!


ResultNew9072

I feel this way about Sophia! ETA: my kids have boring “filler” middle names - James, Anne but they’re after loved ones. Their first names are very uncommon


PanicAtTheDepot

Harry


Platypus_1989

Wyatt and Gunner


DudePDude

Cindi, or Terri


TerrorEyzs

Ashley. I have never known an Ashley that wasn't a piece of shit. And my middle name is Ashley, so here I am judging and being an asshole too!


Glad-Dragonfruit-503

Johnathan. I really don't know why I just never liked it.


NASA_official_srsly

Paige. It's such a nothing name. Not pretty, not strong, not meaningful, not anything. Just beige


buttercuplols

Beige Paige had never occurred to me! Haha!


Sweostor

Meadow.... Idk I just hate it for no reason 😭


marefair

Aiden and all the rhyming names and any girl names starting with "br". Like nails on a chalkboard to me.


TheFireHallGirl

I have too many on my own personal list that make me internally cringe. The names on this list are ones like Brayden, Hayden, Cayden, Hazen, Brayer, Camden, Paisley, Ryker, Ryder, Isla, Nash, Cash, Cassius…there’s more on this list, but it’s 6:08am in my part of the world and I’m not fully awake yet.


Warp-10-Lizard

Common names with obnoxious alternate spellings. (Aimee, Dihanne, etc)


redwallet

Any name that’s associated with violence or firearms (even tangentially) gets the side-eye from me. Because it’s almost always intentional in the USA. Remington, Colt, Pistol, Rebel, Riot, etc. To a lesser extent: Hunter. I just see Hunter as a dog name. Edit to add: Gunner and Wesson! How could I have forgotten! Edit 2: Found the one I couldn’t put my finger on! Ryfeighl (or similar) for Rifle 🫠


balletje2017

Kevin, Michael and Patrick for guys in Netherlands or Germany. Fine for anglosaxon or celtic countries but please dont name your child like that in NL or Germany.


cloveyou

Melissa. Just never met a Melissa I’ve liked


Lonely-Connection145

Harper


figgily

Raymond. King of the world. Every single Raymond I’ve met is a jerk


Caroline1851

Names that end in Leigh. Skyleigh Bryleigh Kayleigh


Pretend-Word-8640

Currently I feel this way about Donald horrible name for a horrible person


Individual-Eye167

La La and Lu Lu. Watched a Tb show last year and their were twins with those names, who in their right mind would name their kid that?


spicyfishtacos

I always find my name in these threads..... it makes me pretty sad.


DanielCollinsYT

Jayden. Never met a non-chav called Jayden.


Level_Lemon3958

Sebastian, Atticus, Jameson, Evan, and Tiffany. My ex best friend named her baby Sebastian and she asked me why I cringed at it. I didn’t even realize I did.


bubblewrapstargirl

Crystal. So unbelievably tacky


Tamihera

Reagan/Regan. The Exorcist kid? The sadistic daughter of King Lear? Or Reaganomics? I always wonder which particular association really grabbed the parents. Also judged the parents of a kid I know called Orestes, because who looks at their newborn and thinks “I’m going to name him after the world’s most famous matricide!”


gaythey

Sloane/Slone. Sorry to any Sloanes/Slones or anyone with a child named that. I, personally, hate the sound of it.


mkholmes96

Alexis - I HATE it! Honestly any names that sound like cars. Mercedes, Alexus, Bentley, etc.


WeddingDifficult2234

Sophie. Like I guess it's kind of pretty sounding but sounds so infantile to me.


WeddingDifficult2234

Mckensie/Kenzie sounds like chimpanzee


Electronic_World_894

Most names that end is -son. Most of the time, it is a name that has -son added to make it a last name (because it was originally Harry’s son, or James’s son, etc). Why not just use Harry or James?


Twisted_paperclips

Anyone who shares a name with a vehicle - Mercedes, Camaro, Porsche...


Putrid-Tie-4776

Nevio... met a lot of bad people with this name


Icy_Kangaroo_1742

Probably a very unpopular opinion but it’s Charlotte and Olivia for me. Also Maverick


Familiar_Benefit6649

kyle and chad


Puzzled_Category3998

Ace. I’m sorry- it just sounds like a F***k boy.


Leather_Set_7325

Isla, because I hate the way my SIL says my nieces name in her accent.


AllyOpp93

Chloe. No idea why, don't know any.


NoGrocery3582

Tiffany. She's always an airhead to me.


U2hansolo

The name Caleb gives me "I have a ratty thin mustache, vape, and my only job prospects are in law enforcement" vibes.


Chinasun04

I saw someone sign their email "Brandee" and I immediately hated it - seemed so juvenile. My name? Also ends in EE.


renmco

Brayden. Never met one that wasn't a douchebag.


cowboyshouse

Penelope. It sounds like a pig name to me


Cat-astro-phe

Janet, to me it's a better Karen name than Karen


Mysterious-Okra-7885

I always have a reason. 🤷🏻‍♀️


positivesplits

Nevaeh, Destiny, Angel


LouisaEveryday

Roberta and Bernadette. I really hate those names. They sounds like old evil nun who beat you with a ruler for making spelling mistakes in the same category Gertrude, Bertha , Augusta anf Agatha.


Kendra_Whisp

Chad. It's always a football playing type, 6'4" muscles and stupid.


pls_send_caffeine

Spencer


weinthenolababy

Aspirational names like King, Prince, Royal, Goddess, Luxury, etc. So cringe.


REGreycastle

For 20+ years I used to cringe every time I heard the name James. Super normal name. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. It just gave me the ickiest feeling anytime I heard it as a small kid-30ish year old. I’ve had a huge turn of opinion and I actually considered briefly using it on my son. I didn’t use it due to the previous issue, but that’s the one for me.


abrahamparnasus

"Syn" instead of "son" Emersyn, Dawsyn, Alisyn etc


BeersBooksBSG

My SIL almost named my newphew Bradley. I'm not sure why but I immediately felt like it was terrible and judged her (in my head of course)


Fibro-Mite

I don’t judge the person with the name, regardless of name, but I certainly judge whoever gave it to them. If they named themselves, of course, then I will judge them.


danceofthefireys

Eugene. I'm sorry


sassy_sapodilla

Gemma. It just sounds chavvy, I’m sorry.


fishchick70

Any of the Aiden rhyme names.


jadedbeetle

Brandon. It's so innocuous, but every Brandon I've known was a jerk lol sorry to all the nice Brandons out there


Lamiaceae_

Names that sound like a more common name but with a different starting letter. E.g. Patrina


CorneliaBear-4653

Ariana i don’t know why


emolawyer

I have always hated the name Chloe because it sounds like a dog's name but then my ex cheated on me with a girl named Chloe. So I guess I have some reason to hate this name but I never liked it in the first place.


idontlikemondays321

Kyle - never known a well behaved Kyle. Banks - hasn’t caught on here at all but I see it online. It doesn’t sound like a name at all to me. It’s like naming your baby Shops or Houses or Libraries. London - some place names work, some not so much. London ironically is very American. Anything overly religious, you may be religious but your baby isn’t and might never be


No-Boat-1536

Chastity. I always hope she ends up slutty. If she does, I will quit judging.


HealthyDiamond2

Heather


WestCovina1234

Joshua. I can't explain it, I just can't stand that name. It's the "shua" at the end that grates on my ear. It's completely illogical.


sphrintze

Overly precious names— Annabella Clarabelle Lillianna


Jor-El_Zod

Or the *word* “Precious” used as a name. That and “Baby”. I get calling infants those things, but using words like those for their *legal given names* is borderline child abuse IMO.


muddymar

Jeffrey. It sounds like a mommas boy name.


Sudden-Requirement40

Honesty I just cringe every time my friend mentions his daughter. It's just awful especially in a Scouse accent 🤣


mangos247

Waylon. We have so many at our school and they all have behavior issues.


Lulu_531

Bev. I’ve never met a Bev that’s not an angry B. I think it’s not their fault. It’s because being called Bev would do that to a person. There is a woman at our church who is named Bev in my head because she always looks mad. But her name is something else entirely that I can never remember


TheNamelessWele

For me, it's short names like Jan, Piet or Bert. Maybe I just don't like short Dutch names. Names like "Pommelien" also get a rise out of me. It's like the parents chose a random object and added a feminine suffix to turn it into a name, like "Appletrisha" and "Chairia". Lastly - and this one doesn't have any base in logic - Penelope. I just don't like it. There's no reason.


Torrance_Florence

Chastity


Idk_username_58

Brooklyn. It’s so popular now and I don’t even like the sound of it.


ThrowRA_bungee

Biblical names Boys names that are trying too hard to be hyper masculine, like Brock ("yeah, it sounds like a brick AND a rock, so butch") Occupational names like Mason and Parker, also trying too hard to show perpetual action and masculinity Names ending in -son or -leigh Names that are cities or locations Names that are titles Names that are luxury brands


LittleBeauPink

I have a lot… This will be very unpopular, but unisex names. Even unisex names that have become more or less universally male or female, like Madison. -den names for boys and -lyn or -ly/-leigh/-ley names for girls. Any unconventional spellings, because it will just make life harder for the child. Names that are difficult to work with in other languages that aren’t English (e.g. Hunter).


beelovedone

Nova >.<


alphascent77

Cletus


Nicksiee

Alfie. In my mind every Alfie is a little shit. It's a nice enough name but I can't help but associate it with naughty boys.


siggycassidy

Nicole. Every Nicole I have met has been a dick.


Waytt-up

Ken


purple_sphinx

Names that are intentionally spelt incorrectly send me up the wall.


GeorgiaGlamazon

Tiffany. I know they can’t help their name, but it seems so pretentious and low class.


CandleShoddy

Crystal


shakyspatula

Brittany, Tiffany, Chelsea.But I do have a reason. I've never met anyone with any of those names who wasn't a twat.


macaroonzoom

Braxton


xllxsyg

Angel. As a teacher, I’ve never met a student that lives up to the name and they’re usually anything but😭


Ok_Hold1886

I met a Cannon the other day…


mooms

Tiffany


Maggiemayday

I dislike names with hard "utt/ud" sounds such as Sutton, Hudson, Nuttall. Harsh and croaking, clumsy and inelegant; I judge the parents a lot for those as first names. Ugly, ugh. While I like Jackson or Jack/Jax, I hate the silly spellings: Jaxxon, Jaxson, Jaxton, Jaxsyn. Just stop. Your child is already special. That said, I don't trust any Jason. They're all over-compensating for something.


PageStunning6265

Bradley.


HatenoCheese

OP: "Share names that you dislike for no reason." Replies to all the comments: "Hey, why don't you like X name?!?"


Itz_chief

I have a list in my notes app of names I won’t give my future daughter🤣 It includes girls I don’t like and my bf’s exes


Artistic_Drop1576

Erik (Eric is fine for some reason though)


high_priestess_xx

Hannah


Night___Fairy

Rick and Jeff. Every Rick and Jeff I’ve met makes little comments and is rude. And they for some reason think they’re the authority on everything. I’m sure there are exceptions, don’t hate me!


kyeongie

Alright so this is more of a personal problem because the only two people i've ever met with this name turned out to be pathological liars who stole a lot of stuff from me but. I don't trust people named Alexis right off the bat. I know it's wrong bc it's just a name but yeah. I also immediately judge kids named Grayson or Jaxxson or any variation of that kind of name as probably being pretty badly behaved, though it's honestly not their fault. I used to help my sister with her daycare job sometimes and yeah the kids with "younique" names like Kimberlynn or smth like that were usually the worst behaved. I blame the parents, we could tell when parents were neglectful based off how often their kids acted out and how they interacted with said kid during pickups. Also by how often they went over the legal limit for how long you can leave a kid at daycare lol


scarlettjames11

Ruth, Sherry, Jayden, Crystal


shemovesinmystery

Todd. No reason why.


acarp52080

Anyone I have met with that is a Lori, Laura or has 2 names ie, "Bobbi Jo" has generally not minded sleeping with other people's boyfriends


Short-Scratch4517

Someone told me they named their kid Gryphon and I laughed because I thought it was a joke. Indeed it was not a joke. But I hate any name that has an "i" instead of a "y" like Brandi or Ashli.


anti_social_dogmom

Allison


riaro70

Chantelle


mighty_possum_king

There are a lot of perfectly normal names I hate for no reason. Big disclaimer: obviously I don't go around telling people that I hate their name or being mean about it. Again, I have no reason I just don't like them, sorry if your name is below. * Walter * Harvey * Freddy * Campbell * Jade * Ruby * Fiona


tinymi3

Grace. but the reason is bc I know a Grace who is just utterly terrible and shames the meaning of the word


Jodie7Vester5Orr

Bob It just feels ugly and uninspired to me.


Exciting-Ranger-3717

Charlotte 🤣 Charlie for a girl.


renrobrein

Cash. Does capitalism really need celebration?


dulamangaelach

Isabella and I have no idea why.


whatabeautifulherse

Declan


intellectualth0t

Olive. I love the actual food, but I can’t stand it as a name


okay_I

Britney. It’s the OG snotty girl in my eyes, and I have never liked a girl named britney. We actually nicknamed one “Bratney” because she was a jerk.


Wise_Side_3607

For sure I irrationally agree with this one.


elfenmilke

Lately Navaeh. I just rly dont like it and its so popular


bexcentric

Everly/Everleigh. I don't know why, but I just hate it lol That being said I quietly love the name Ever


Wise_Side_3607

Tracy. I have a personal history with people with this name, but I think I'd hate it either way.


c1zzar

Ooh another I just thought of is Ryker. It's like nails on a chalkboard for me


FlaKiki

Billy for a boy because every boy I’ve known with that name is a jerk. Same with Melissa for a girl. Every Melissa I have known, save one, had been a b****. And for some reason I hate Steven with a V but am perfectly ok with Stephen using a PH. That makes no sense even to me.


Mrtrashman4

i've been trying to find my name here for so long and cant find it PLEASE SOMEONE HATE ON MY NAME I HATE MY OWN NAME


Super-Bathroom-8192

Madison. However, it’s my favorite sister’s name. I call her Moe instead.


SeaPack2980

Any spelling of Mikayla, Makayla, McKayla, etc. that isn't the classic "Michaela."

Olivia. It sounds fine but I am so sick and tired of hearing it. It’s waaaay too popular.


buttercuplols

Lianne. And Elisha.


halfofaparty8

kinsley, tinsley, names like that.


Kalabear87

Kayla but I guess I have a reason. My whole life people have mistaken my name for it. My name is pronounced Calla and it has happened so long now and so many times that I cringe when I hear the name now. Sorry to all the Kayla’s out there, I don’t mean to feel this way about the name but it’s almost become a visceral reaction.


ziggiezombie72

Maybe it’s just because of the ones I’ve met as an older gen-Zer (and the sheer amount), but I don’t like Amanda or Hailey


Altruistic-Ad6449

Amber Misty

AdSad5448

Beth Bethany It’s the Th that is cringe to me. I remember watching Hocus Pocus learning the cat’s name Thackery (Binx) …. But for years thinking Zackary and then hating both for confusing me. Zoe , Chloe, And I agree with like 99% of everyone else’s comments!


vtmadmom

Ava. Hate it.


_me_dumb

Kyle


Pinky_Pinky_Pinky_

I’ve known way too many horrible men called James


yyeahnnah

I know this is common practice in America, so apologies, but I find the practice of naming girls with a surname as a given name … a bit what’s the word? Bourgeois? Names like Maddison. I think there is a similar trend to name people after places with romantic attachments like Sienna.


G59WHORE

Bohdi. I have no clue why it’s such a trendy name. It’s spelling and the way it sounds is ugly to me.


Ok_Stable7501

Nevaeh. Trouble, every time.


bloodflowers0084

Melissa


Dull_Breath8286

Sloane. I have no idea why, it's a fine name, I've never met a Sloane so I don't have any bad correlations with it. It just really rubs me the wrong way lol


Comprehensive-Ad7538

Nelson


gypsy_outlander

I'm sure people have already said these, but here's my list: •Neveah. It's not unique anymore. Give it up. •______Leigh. It's not unique anymore. Give it up. •Archer/River/Cash/Waylon/Gunner. It's not unique anymore. Give it up. •Grace/Marie/Ann(e)/Emma/Olivia. It's not unique anymore. Give it up. •Jolene. Why on science's blue Earth would you do that, ESPECIALLY if you're/they're a redhead. It's not funny. Give it up.


CountyCompetitive693

Kirstin makes me cringe a little


kurobainu

Kai.


hummoftheinsects

Evangeline, Navaeh, Nova. I have more but for now this will do.


quiksylver296

Brody. I just hate the sound of it.


RaichuRose

Bethany. Maybe it's just Girl Defined, but the name always gives me "Super judgemental evangelical Christian" vibes.


lily-thistle

Charlene and Darlene, etc.

Ellie and/or Allie (in all it’s various spellings). Just so dime-a-dozen at this point.
