I recently saw "Jeweliette" on a class graduation roster. I cringe every time I think of it.

I've noticed that we've covered just about every name on this list, which just goes to show that someone is going to hate the name you choose, no matter what it is.


The brand Mercedes was named after a girl named Mercedes.


Mercedes is a Spanish name for girls--meaning "Mercies." It is meant to honor the virgin Mary (Mary of Mercies). Many Spanish names are very religious like that--Dolores means "sorrows", as in "our lady of sorrows". Inmaculada is "immaculate", etc.

Campbell

Not only is it soup, but its hard to believe that anyone thinks this is the most attractive name they could come up with for their daughter out of all the millions of choices.

There was a Kai at my DC's preschool. He was mouthy, obnoxious, and rude.


Well that proves it then.


Every Kai I have known has been the first born son of a Japanese mom/American dad. For a long time, EVERY couple like that I knew named their first born son that. It was really annoying. My brother (American) then married a Japanese woman and when she was pregnant with their son, I BEGGED him not to name the baby Kai (they didn't).

Molly was a dog name in the 90's and now is becoming a popular choice for humans again. I think it's cute but no one with this name is going to be a supreme court justice.


I have several friends with dogs named Molly. My cousin was born in the 90s - Hmmm...I think she's pursuing a science career, but she's definitely smart enough to be a supreme court justice if she wanted to. FWIW, posters before have told me my kid's name might make it hard to take her seriously (a less common spelling of a name everyone knows). I guess we all shall see, right?

You were watching Toddlers and Tiaras last night.

I did a double take when I saw that name. How could you butcher the spelling that badly??

I dislike names spelled incorrectly solely for the purpose of the parents being "unique."

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.


It's a real name of a girl in my area. It's a horrible 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.


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


In the same way Katrina and Hugo are hurricanes. Give me a break.


Say what? Disease not equal to a hurricane.

That's not the issue. Someone started a thread to encourage people to spew. Disgusting.
