Names you HATE

Girls names are much more susceptible to this, I have noticed.

Century??

Ultra-traditional men's names like David, Michael, John, Robert, Joseph, Mark, Christopher and Thomas because they're just so incredibly dull. I can understand using one of these if you want to honor family but, for the love of God, make it a middle name.

And before someone responds and says my kid must be named Brayden, Jayden, Colton, or Bentley, I don't have any boys and I hate those too.

Here is what nameberrey says: Pam was a somewhat pampered prom queen of the sixties who was never called by her full name, which is a pity because Pamela is so mellifluous and rich in literary history. A Top 25 name from the late 1940s through the late 60s, Pamela is now poised to drop out of the Top 1000. Rarely used now, Pamela might almost be ready for a revival, and the appealing Pam (wife of Jim, the male-equivalent name) on The Office may help bring it back.

The name means "all sweetness"

This is a similar report to my child's name, which is also a "not coming back in style anytime soon" name.

This is my problem with Addison. Except that it's actually a disease.

Horrible.

The name Zoe is Greek. It means "life." I'm sorry the pp thinks it sounds like a disease, but that shows how little the pp actually knows. We selected the name Zoe for our daughter because her birth actually was a triumph of life out of disease. It's a beautiful name and it suits here. And shame on you for being so disgusting in your dismissal of it.

Addison literally means "son of Adam," so it's completely inappropriate for a girl. No, we don't have an Addison. But comparing a name to a disease? Reprehensible. The two people who wrote these two posts should spend some time reflecting on why they think this way and what it says about them as people and what happened in their lives to turn them into such wicked shrews. Who compares a name to a disease? Wow.

Somebody need to lighten up. Somebody already crapped on my daughters name and my middle and last name. I find this amusing; why do you care that much about what some anonymous person on a message board thinks?

Mom of Zoe: uou're taking this WAY too seriously. this is a thread about nmaes people don't like and why they don't like them. Addison's disease is an illness. I'm not surprise that peole think its sounds like an illness. I like the name Zoe, but I can why people might not like a name I like. No one is being a "mean girl" - you're way to sensitive for dcum, and DC, if this bothers you.
