Names you HATE

Adorabella
Cody

Basically, any name that sounds like a child's name. Most people will be adults for the majority of their lives.

Adorabella?!?! Did someone actually name their child this?! There are a lot of really stupid names people are giving their kids, but that one takes the cake.

I have a son named George. It is a family name and I'll concede it's not for everyone. It took a while for the name to grow on me enough to consider using it but it totally suits my son. I was afraid people would think it was too "old" of a name for a little boy but have since met quite a number of young Georges. I think every single one was also named after family

Oh, and to the poster who thinks it sounds too British, in our case it is Welsh.

Welsh is British, learn your heritage.

This, plus:
Girls with ambiguous gender names or trades names: Taylor, Cooper, Hunter etc.
Overly fussy girls names with Ella or Anna stuck on the end: Anabella, Arianna.
Also, some of the those classic 50's nicknames/ names: Rudy, Trudy, Tammy, Randy, Judy, Roger.
Ruth. I know it's cool to name little girls after Nana, but Ruth is such a harsh sounding name. Just hate it.
Shan sounding names for boys: DeShaun, Treyshaun. Just sounds made up by a third grader.

I am looking forward to the backlash when kids are named Steve and Jenny again.

There are some really hideous seventies names out there--Michelle, Tracy, Donna, Brenda, Dawn, Sharon, Barbara, Denise, Deborah, Rhonda, Paula, Sheila... The list goes on and on.

I've always disliked the name Molly. My cousin is a Molly and while she is a great girl, I can't stand her name. When she was born, for the longest time my mother and I just called her "the baby" because we just couldn't stand even saying it.

It is irrational and I can't explain my intense dislike of this name. I just really can't stand it.

Can you imagine a 45 year old woman saying "Hi, my name is Adorabella." It may be a little cute when someone's a newborn. But people never think things through, and that the person will go their entire lives with a name that ridiculous. Ditto for Nevaeh.

I like Michelle and Paula. And we actually took Dawn to the hospital with us as a choice for our daughter within the last decade - it wound up as a middle name. But I am not into traditional/popular names, and I like names that are somewhat hippie and nature related.

too many to name all...

Sounds like the mean girls club at a private school!

I hate hippie/nature/season names - Windy, Rain, River, Stormy, Sunshine, Autumn, Summer, Rainbow.

Nope.

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.

It is a disease. It isn't like the pp was making that up.

Relax, people. Not everyone is going to love your child's name. You can't please everyone all the time. Let it go.

Not a fan of Grace. I know it is supposed to be so very classy and the best name but the sound is so harsh. Same with Olivia. Not harsh, just vegetable like.
