Heather spelled backwards.
Never been fond of that name either.
For me, Adam’s an OK name, but I’ve always like the name Eve.
There’s a poster on another board who said she loves the name Laszlo but wouldn’t burden her son with it if she would ever have one. She did recently give birth to a boy, and I wonder if his given name is Matthew Laszlo. 
Don’t know.
Just curious, are you mousy looking? :o
any of the countless spins on AidenBradenBraydenBraedenJadenJaedenJaydenKadenKayden. Guilty by association are Bryson, Jacen, etc.
I hate names that are jokes, like North West. I went to school with a girl named Anice Butt - I am not making that up. The stupidity of parents who do things like this is staggering to me.
I don’t like any name that is commonly used for both boys and girls (Terry, Pat, Shannon etc)
And I don’t like any name that is common slang for genitals or Backside (Peter, Dick, Willy, Fanny, Gladys (Glad-Ass)).
Wait…are you my sister? On second thought, obviously not - she’s a social worker, not a teacher. But she equally hates “Jenny/Jenni”, dislikes-but-doesn’t-loathe “Jennifer”, and goes by “Jen”.
I was intrigiued to find out that “Jennifer” derives from the Welsh “Gwenhwyfar”, which comes into modern English, by way of medieval French, as “Guinevere”.
Yeah, I got that it was Heather spelled backwards. But is that a thing now? Naming your kids things spelled backwards? I get the whole “Nevaeh” thing (I think it’s stupid, but I get it), but there’s nothing particularly saintly about “Heather.”
I miss Eve. 
I’m just a simmering pot of rage today.
Boring names: 50’s names, Linda, Cathy, Ann, Lisa, Nancy, Barbara, Dorothy. I went to school with a whole heap of douchebags with boring 50’s names. (Honorable mention: religioso names like Anna-Maria-Theresa - half my class had one or both or three of those names).
Whorish/stripper names: Krystal, Peaches, Tiffany, Chantelle, Ruby…
Boring straight-white-man names: Kevin, Gary, Alan, Leonard, Francis, Fred, George, Harry, Bill. Special mention: Bob. And Louie.
Apologies to nice people with these perfectly nice names, it’s not you, it’s definitely ME. (I hate my own name. I never met anyone else with my name! It conjures up images of a farm wife during the Dustbowl, feeding the chickens, wearing an apron.)
If a name like “Rehteah” meant anything (I realize it doesn’t), I’d assume it meant the un- or the anti-Heather.
I’m not even sure how you’d *pronounce * it.
Don’t forget “Nevaeh.” It’s “heaven” spelled backwards swoon
When I read that news story, I couldn’t help wondering if one of the things she was teased for was her name.
Or if you are particularly unobservant, Neveah. That was a chart-topper for girls that actually out-performed Nevaeh one year.
I hate kre8tiv names. It did produce this hilarious forum, though, and here’s the original blog that inspired it.
Completely made up named bug me a little, but what really gets under my skin are the ordinary names that have made up spellings. Parents who burden kids with these names can be hell on teachers, who might have five different “Birttanys” in a class, each one spelled differently, and are supposed to remember which spelling goes with which child, or suffer the wrath of the parents.
My parents did something I consider a cardinal naming sin, and game me a sound that doesn’t occur in English. In my middle name (at least it’s my middle name) the “ch” is like the ch in Chanukah, a glottal fricative. People just pronounce my name “Haya,” like “Hi, ya,” and I really wish my parents had just spelled it “Haya.”
At least I’m not like this kid I used to babysit named Michal (a very Israeli name), whose parents used to harass people into pronouncing the glottal fricative in her name, including gentiles, who found the experience surreal. As an adult, she started going by “Michelle.”
I think it’s just borne out of a severe case of USI (Unwarranted Self Importance.)
Swineherd?
or a bothersome band.
Hilarious! Sure, her name’s a riot, but your username, actually…
This gardener has a list of irksome plant names, like Hens and Chickens, Black-Eyed Susans (no but seriously that’s a fucking repulsive name) Fever Few, and…

yes…Periwinkle.
UGH!..just saying that name…it’s like…gets me all…GRR! (no - not that username)
to add just a couple more:
Brant
Hopwell
Dante (ooooo that one makes me fucking seethe for some reason - seems to exude some sorta douchey, pretentious, asshat poser, to me)
Chi-Chi and Bo-bo (twins)
Unicorn Over the Rainbow
Reince
Estragon
Twyla
at least it’s ok that that My Name is Earl nob named his kid Pilot Inspektor
JoJo
Once is enough…
Connor?
I guess I could see Conner as an occupational name, if one considers swindling to be an occupation, but Connor?
(I am aware that the occupational name conner relates to weights and measures, but when I saw that someone had named their baby “Conner”, all I could see was “one who cons, con artist”).
John.
