first names you hate (quote, similar)

[Comedyshortsgamer]

Which would you hate the most?

[Nodpete]

Barack, Hillary for starters.

Hate?
In regard to the names of other people?

I really have to question the stability of people who can summon-up hatred regarding other people's names.

[eaton53]

Asswipe.
(It's pronounced as-WEEP-a...)

"Hate" is perhaps too strong a term, but I dislike the recent trend of giving babies names that end with the "er" or "en" sound: Hunter, Jayden, Braden, Caden, Creighton, Connor, Tyler, Skyler, Dillon, Brooklyn, etc.

I also dislike the trend toward adding syllables at the beginning or end of a name to make it sound foreign, and thus (in the parents' minds) "classy." i.e. De John, Donnell, Latrisha, Shaniqua, etc.

I'm impressed that people can work themselves into a lather over names.

Well... on second thought, this sort of pathetic nonsense doesn't surprise me one bit...

I am offended. en names?

There are so many en names, like Aaron, Baron, Caren, Darren, Farren, Garren, Harren, Jarren, Karen, Laren, Maren, etc...And they are all offended.

So is LaNaren, and Traparen, and Quazaren.

I detest the names, Theo and Leo. For some reason, they conjure up weird old men.

Also, any, certain ethnic, made up, name that nobody can pronounce or remember.

By whom are they offended?
What--in particular--offends those people?
Did you conduct a survey with a representative cross-section of people with those particular names in order to determine that they are "offended"?

There are certain names I don't like because they are real old timey names that you never see on a person younger than 75: Mabel, Ethel, Agnes, Bertha, Agatha, Edith, Edna, Wilbur, Horace, Hubert, etc. (And please forgive me if you have one of these names)


I also don't like the current trend of naming kids after cities or states: Dallas, Dakota, Brooklyn, Austin or the Cayden, Brayden, Jayden thing either although my granddaughter has a similar name to the "den names. I would have named her Michaela. :-)


My name was fairly popular in the late 50's but occasionally I will see a celebrity or younger person with that name.


It's funny how you can pretty much tell what decade a person was born in by their names. A few years ago we had millions of Ashley, Jennifer and Jessica's.


I gave both my sons, timeless, Biblical names that have never gone out of fashion.
