What first names annoy you because of people you have met?

[reecejackox]

For example I don't like the name Jamie because I never liked a Jamie in school.

 

[barkley]

skyler, skylar and schuyler-very unpleasant interactions w/one of each (though didn't know at the time the spellings of their names were different).

 

[unrequited23]

Missy as a nickname for Melissa...especially for adults.

 

[mrsap]

George. Ew. (No offense to any George’s here).

 

[Keetchino]

Brianna - and any spelling variation. Every one that I have met has been nuts (around 6-8 of them). To the point where upon meeting this girl for the first time I thought to myself "I bet her name is Brianna" and lo and behold it was

 

[Tallis]

Ray
Regina
Hayleigh
Any girls name ending with "leigh" "lee" or "ley"
Action names like Hunter, Ryder, Walker

Kelly

And lastly, my own horrid name

Lots. But I can't put them here because they're usually associated with a challenging kiddo I've worked with.

you never realize how many people you do not like until you have to choose a baby name.

Debbie

For example I don't like the name Jamie because I never liked a Jamie in school.

Ha! I just read the title and said Jamie before reading your post. Both male and female!

Jamie's and I don't mix. No bueno. And I know now every time I meet a Jaime I go in with preconceived notions. Not really fair, but the other Jamie's have ruined it.

 

[Mysterian]

Todd. There's a factory some where that produces those things.

 

[RogueX]

Tammy...I had a friend in high school and we remained friends until a few years ago when I couldn't deal with her toxic attitude anymore. I spent far too many years listening to how society is responsible for all of her personal problems. Once she had a child she actually said that it was much harder than babysitting, which is what she though parenting would be like.

Lexie-you know why. Going to feel sorry for any I meet in the future...there is just no chance

 

[CdnCarrie]

Jasmine
Amber

 

[low-key]

not that I don't prejudge, but names never did it for me

 

[jormom1030]

Try being a teacher. That gives you lots of names with negative thoughts when you hear them.

 

[tinatark]

Caleb. Hate it too, because my sister chose it for my nephew. I hate that name!

Missy

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

Megan (various spellings)

Amber

Jessica

Justin

Brad

David

And lastly I love my name but when I was born it was not very popular and then suddenly it was. When I worked at the insurance company I would get countless phone calls with "oh my daughter's name is that" or "my granddaughter's name is that" or "oh I know someone with that name" and it usually would follow with a discussion on how I spell it. Not exactly annoying just that there's just so many of them now. On the upside though I can find souvenir stuff with my name on it now

 

[bennifer]

Kristen. All the different spellings. They might not all be crazy but the ones I know are!

 

[FigmentSpark]

Lexie-you know why. Going to feel sorry for any I meet in the future...there is just no chance

When I was choosing baby names I liked Lexie for a girl until someone somewhere said, "oh, Sexy Lexie". That one got a strike out.
