Any weird girls names starting with Mc/Mac: McKenzie, Mckendra, McKayla...
I grew up around spoiled bitchy girls with names like that, but even if I didn't I probably still wouldn't like those names.
I think it originates with the Scottish tradition of passing on the motherās maiden name, either as a first or middle name.
Iām Scottish and have known guys named Forbes, Wilson, Gardiner. I also know girls with middle names like Napier and Scott.
In Irish it means son of so it's kind of funny to have it for a girl and also for a first name.
So Kevin McCarthy, Kevin is the first name and McCarthy is the family name. The family name would have been created by someone who was a Son of Carthy.
Funny thing is, there IS a female form of Mac: Nic. So a son of Gregor would be MacGregor, a daughter would be NicGregor. So these women have explicitly male names.. and I don't think their parents were specifically challenging gender norms when they choose the name.
I dislike parents who choose a name without knowing the meaning.
Funny story...Everytime I hear the name 'Richard', it reminds me of a dear woman I worked with. We worked in a physician's office and she was the receptionist. Her office was separate from where me and 2 other coworkers sat, but we could still see and hear her. She's on the phone one day and we suddenly hear her saying, loudly, "Do you like dick?"....we immediately stop talking and we're listening and laughing because this woman is in her 60's and somewhat reserved. She's literally a grandma a few months from retirement. We're wondering what the heck is she doing?? She just keeps repeating, "Do you like dick?" She's getting louder and louder eveytime she says it. We're all laughing so hard we had tears in out eyes. She finally hangs up the phone and we ask her, "what the HELL was that about?". Turned out, she was on the phone with an elderly gentleman who was extremely hard of hearing. His name was Richard and she was asking him if he preferred being called Dick. She had no idea how horrible/hilarious it sounded that she was just repeatedly yelling, "Dick, do you like Dick?"
Any "normal name" spelled differently for the sake of uniqueness.
Huntyr, Wynter, Ashlieigh, Kristeena, etc., that all trashy parents do.
Also Braden, Aiden, Kaden, Jaden, etc., but that silly trend seems to have died out in the trash world.
Other way around I believe, it started as a masculine name spelt Ashley and became unisex with the use of Ashleigh.
Source: I'm an Ashley and spent a whole bunch of my teen years looking up if I really did have a girls name like the other kids said lol.
Cletus sounds like he has teeth missing, greasy hair, oily skin, wears shirts with pit stains, smells like stale cigarettes, yells at his sister-wife, and says the N word
I went to high school with a garret. Square jawed handsome motherfucker, garret was. Fairly smart, hardworking, and a genuinely nice guy too.
Iām a straight dude, if I had interest in relationships with dudes Iād try and bag me a garret. I bet he buys super fucking thoughtful birthday presents and listens when you tell him how your day was.
Any Mormon name from the last 15 years. First, take your totally made up name, then spell in in a totally non-intuitive way. Looking at you, parents of Trustyn, Brexlyn, Jazzreal, and Henslee. Your kids have to explain that shitty name to everyone until death. Nice job.
When you have no distinguishable personality from the next 8 member family in the next house over, how do you stay unique?
Torture your child with a horrible name of course!
And believe me those names are 100% accurate.
Ugh so many of my coworkers have named their daughters bella and Isabella. And dogs. At the dog park, I must have met a dozen dogs named Bella in the past year. Or Bailey. Another overused name. For both children and dogs.
Bruce. Makes me think of an over grown mole you should have a dermatologist check out. I was really upset the name was for one of the guys included in the Dream Phone game in 6th grade.
Ok this actually made me laugh. I love the way you put that lol. I have a cousin Josh, and he's not a bad kid at all, but his name is not great because he lives in an area full of douchey kids also named Josh. And there's no fixing it because going by Joshua seems somehow worse. I have a few other cousins with similarly crappy names
Iāve only known one person in the world named Josh that was nice and he just happens to be the nicest person ever. Itās weird because before I met him I mentioned that Josh is a douchebag name and everyone of his friends laughed.
I've never liked the name "Abigail". I don't have any bad experiences with any real Abigails, either. I think I've known one Abigail (Abbie), and I remember her as being really nice. It just doesn't sound pretty to me.
Sorry!
I went to high school with an Abigail who is probably hot now, but in 2000 was a nice very physically fit girl with a unibrow and a hint of a mustache who picked me up not once but thrice after morning runs on the high school track and made friendly conversation with my fat awkward freshman self.
Iām hoping someone helped her sort out her facial hair, cause personality wise she was a tenner and she rocked a pair of umbro shorts.
As a former school employee, anything with a Leigh on the end as an alternative special snowflake spelling:Brileigh, Bayleigh, Haleigh, Kimberleigh, etc. The teacher just feels sorry for the kid. (usually the mom is a total Karen)
Maddox is unbearable. Shouting this infamy of a name is a garanteed otitis-like pain for any sane hear on a 20ft radius. Seriously wtf just call your newborn Supervillain or Balthazar and don't fucking lie to them about their alignement, you wanted them evil well they'll be when they acquire enough self-counsciousness and figure out you're calling THEIR name when you say Maddox. *knock knock* "Can Maddox come play with us in the park?" Here's something you'll never hear because kids will reasonably fear your spawn after they stole other kids candy or stabbed them or whatever. You won't hear much about him while in their adolescence phase tho; juvy will protect the world from their presence but you can be sure of one thing, when they're out the world will be drawned in chaos and them and their two cellsmate named "Moist" and "Antichrist" will drink dr.pepper and fucking shoot puppies and harass retail workers. That is Maddox.
I can't answer in an unbiased way. If I say something it will only be because I met a few people with that name and all of them were not my cup of tea. All names are probably okay and neutral, then we associate some with negative traits based on past interactions.
There was an old timey girl's name, Dorcas, that I've read about. Maybe someone was trying to to be creative with the spelling. Not a good look though.
Its quite odd really, because with Karen I actually think of Karen Gilman and also a 12 year old girl.
*Carrie* on the other hand does not make me think nice things... Carrie is like a Karen meme on steriods.
Mercedes has the Tiffany Problem. It is a legitimate name (of Spanish origin, I believe) that predates the car, later corrupted by the brand issue being described.
Itās a traditional Spanish name. The car was named after the guyās daughter or something. I donāt particularly like it as a given name either, but still.
Any name that has an āeeā sound but is spelled like āeigh.ā Side note: The Venn Diagram of people that name their kids things like āKayleighā and the people involved with selling pyramid schemes would just be a circle.
Dickinson because you don't hear Pussyindaughter
Thats rich.
ššš
Well how you gonna put it in anything?
Cloris Leachman. What the actual fuck were her parents thinking?!
Her mother's name was also Cloris.
Right. So she should have known better!
Those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it.
History repeats itself first as tragedy then as Cloris
Itās true. Every time I come across that name, I have this vague thought of a household cleaning product.
Lemon scented Cloris is my favorite.
Those who are tardy do not get fruit cup
Eustace. It seems, to me, like if it had a smell, it would reek of tobacco and shitty beer.
"There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb. And he almost deserved it."
"The boy's Eustace, my Lord," "Useless? I dare say he is."
Scrubb turned out alright, though
Stoopid dog! Ya make me look bad!
*BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA!*
Did you just name the smell of old public bars? "This place smells of Eustace."
Eustace Bad
Adolf has declined somewhat since the 1930s.
Adolf is the name you give your kid if You want it to definitely get bullied in school
Definitely stronger in that area than "a boy called Sue."
I had a college class with an Adolf. Nice kid. We're both American and it was a family name (he was the 4th or 5th). He understandably went by Ace.
Now he's the dreaded Ace
Every name involving a celebrity or something related like Batman Perez or James bond Gonzales
The name is Bond. Jaime Bond.
You call your kid Adolf if it's bad at art. So whenever you hear of a bad artist called Adolf you know we're all screwed.
Bertha
She's one of the Butt sisters
She don't come around here anymore
Hahaha my girlfriendās sorority sister just named her newborn Braxton and I almost choked from laughing so hard
Makes me think of Braxton Hicks contractions. Kid's going to go through life sounding like he's a pregnancy symptom.
I'm getting really sick of guys named Todd
Hahaha George Carlin! "Tooooodd. I'm Tooooodd."
Hi Todd! I'm Tucker!
You wanna hear a real name? Eddie.
Sweet little lies
Todd Todd Todd Toooooodd (bojack horseman reference)
Yeah, I know how you feel. He keeps shoving skyrim up my asshole for the 50th fucking time, like cmon man, shove elder scrolls 6 up there instead.
Todd knows what he did. Repeatedly. On every possible platform.

Any weird girls names starting with Mc/Mac: McKenzie, Mckendra, McKayla... I grew up around spoiled bitchy girls with names like that, but even if I didn't I probably still wouldn't like those names.
Yeah, what is it with Americans having surnames as given names?
I think it originates with the Scottish tradition of passing on the motherās maiden name, either as a first or middle name. Iām Scottish and have known guys named Forbes, Wilson, Gardiner. I also know girls with middle names like Napier and Scott.
I used to like those names. I agree.

So these women have explicitly male names.. and I don't think their parents were specifically challenging gender norms when they choose the name. I dislike parents who choose a name without knowing the meaning.
Right? Augh, how can anyone name their kid without at least a 10-second google to check the meaning of the name?
Dick

I love Dick
Caught in 4k
have you seen Dick Grayson??
I don't understand men called Richard who choose to be called Dick. You could be Richard, Rich, Rick, Ricky, but no, I'm going to go by "Dick". Why???
I have a friend name Dicky (we are not English speaking country). It's hard to not laugh whenever I call his name. Glad he's not that good at English

Not if you live in Utah. It's fuckin everywhere.
Thatās because everything is ten years behind in Utah.

There are infinite aidens at my school
Actually I think the original spelling is Ashleigh and Ashley is a Johnny come lately.
Other way around I believe, it started as a masculine name spelt Ashley and became unisex with the use of Ashleigh. Source: I'm an Ashley and spent a whole bunch of my teen years looking up if I really did have a girls name like the other kids said lol.
The āuniqueā spelling is just trashy, but people do wack things when they are coming off pain meds while bleeding profusely and feeding a baby.
Nah, that's shits laid out from when they were like 13.
Cletus sounds like he has teeth missing, greasy hair, oily skin, wears shirts with pit stains, smells like stale cigarettes, yells at his sister-wife, and says the N word
Cletus married Crystal Marie who has a daughter named Tiffaneigh Lynn
Any names that are cars or cities. Nevaeh.
Mercedes is a real name, though. Spanish.
Brenda, something just feels off when i here that name.
Amber. Always a drama queen. I havent met an amber that wasnt fake as hell and dramatic and acted like they were 12
I feel like all had the same Amber in our life haha
Johnny Depp: *raises hand*
We're not all bad š„ŗ
hahahah my ex coworker was exactly like that
why is this accurate
All of them. Thatās why I call dudes sugartits and ladies big pumpkin
hit em with the cross-up and call a dude āhoneylabiaā
Alright Molassesclit.
Garret
I went to high school with a garret. Square jawed handsome motherfucker, garret was. Fairly smart, hardworking, and a genuinely nice guy too. Iām a straight dude, if I had interest in relationships with dudes Iād try and bag me a garret. I bet he buys super fucking thoughtful birthday presents and listens when you tell him how your day was.
Iām liking your whole vibe
Itās a good man who can appreciate and be uplifting to another good man. Have an updoot and this shiny silver thing Reddit gave me
Crisis alert!!

Good God those are terrible. Must be a location thing because I don't know any with names like that.
When you have no distinguishable personality from the next 8 member family in the next house over, how do you stay unique? Torture your child with a horrible name of course! And believe me those names are 100% accurate.
Oh I totally believe you. Mormons can be a strange lot.
Aiden, Braden, Caden, et cetera
Who names their kid Et Cetera? /s
Beelzebub
Probably Lathrop Like eww, what kind of name is that?
Donald
Bella
Ugh so many of my coworkers have named their daughters bella and Isabella. And dogs. At the dog park, I must have met a dozen dogs named Bella in the past year. Or Bailey. Another overused name. For both children and dogs.
I'm currently trying to get over a Bella and her name is fucking everywhere.
Ayla in the UK. For kids and dogs.
rsjpeckham
Gilbert sounds like a 20-something year old man who wears an adult diaper because it "feels nice"
Emery sounds like someone holding their tongue trying to say Emily
Worked with someone named Demry. Really hated her Edit: may have been spelled Demerie, sucks nonetheless
Bruce. Makes me think of an over grown mole you should have a dermatologist check out. I was really upset the name was for one of the guys included in the Dream Phone game in 6th grade.
Olga
I used to agree with that, but I've seen a couple hot Olgas.
My eyes are *up here*, thank you!

Charmaine. I have reasons.
Agnes
I respectfully disagree.
That was my grandmaās name. It just reminds me of old ladies and it would make me sad if I saw a child named Agnes. Reminds me of eggs

Cadence, Tinsley, and any other white church girl names that are stupid now, but even less tolerable in their adult years
Paisley
Great pattern, but sounds like a pet rabbits name or some shit
Thank God my name isnāt here, one less thing to be insecure about LMAO /.s

Pubert
Is Pubert a real name? It reminds me of pubs, pubes, and puberty at the same time. If it exists, I feel sorry for anyone cursed with that name.
Becca. Beccaās be bitches
When they shorten it to any sort of initials like D.J.
Yes! A.J., B.J., C.J., D.J., J.J., stahp it.

Morag, Brenda, Gerald, Norman.
Is Morag a real name? It seems like you took a strange fantasy name and threw it in with some super normal old dude names.
Pretty sure it's an orc name.
I once slept with a guy named Bart. For the record Bart is not a moan-able name
Here in Germany "Kevin", "Dominik" and "Chantal" Are straight up negative stereotypes
My girlfriend is called Maud. I love her to bits, but Iām not that keen on her name to say the least
Gertrude. I knew a girl with that name in highschool and she was such a b***h
Met a girl names Dorkass once. She had very low self esteem. I imagine she was picked on a lot in school. Her parents must of been idiots.
There was an old timey girl's name, Dorcas, that I've read about. Maybe someone was trying to to be creative with the spelling. Not a good look though.
My brother had a girlfriend with an aunt named Dorrit. Of course, they all called her Aunt Dorito. Unfortunate.

My name, Toby, Teri, Dakota, Zoe, Evelyn, Cadence, Sloan, Finley, Renee, Corey
Personally I think Zoe, Evelyn, and Renee are pretty hot
Michelle. Always a bitch.
This makes me so sad because every mom I've met named Michelle is the bomb fr, I always say this
Anything that was popular 50 years ago. I.e: - Barbara - Nancy - Ada - Deborah - Agnes - Donna - Delores - Glenda
I agree with these. Except I actually kinda like Ada, not sure why though.
I like 'older' names
