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

Yeah, can't stand this one. How do you even pronounce it?

I also hate Braxton and Braden/Brayden etc. Blech. And Kylie/Kayleigh and derivatives.

What's wrong with these?


I don't like Owen because it's just dumb. It's a dumb name.

I don't like George, Henry or Beatrice because they are trying too hard to sound British or something, I don't know. Especially Beatrice.

Just my opinion.


It is your opinion. And it makes you sound pretty silly. Henry and George are family names, and perhaps people are honoring their grandparents, not trying to sound British.

Not a fan of George, but I love Owen, Henry and Beatrice.

Zoe. It sounds like some sort of disease- "my child was infected with Zoe..."

Penelope -- I always think "Pina-lope"

Phoebe -- shudder, what a terrible, nasally name

Zoe and Chloe -- again, I think "Zoh" and "Cloh"

I don't like Maddie at all. Many of the formal names like it are fine but Maddie just sounds bad to my ears for any age.

I also don't like old man names - Fred, Ralph, Sam, George . . . My neighbor's son is Norman and friend's son is Stanley. Really? Just don't.

Really hate Declan and don't understand how it became so popular.

Also don't like Rory. It just sounds like a mouthful.

Naomi and Tallulah. I have the same reaction to those names that some people have to the word "moist". *shudder*

Oh, and Keith. Gah.
