NAMES....

I was just wondering if anyone thought this way.....

Now that you are older, is there a name that you HATE? WOuld not name your child this name or may not even date anyone with this name? I mean, there is this EX of mine, named Mark....and he was a wacko, so anytime I hear this name, I automatically associate this person with his name...just because...I just do.....

Also, in HS and Elementary school, I was always the tallest girl and ALWAYS had to stand next to the tallest guy, Wayne, who was not my idea of cute.....


So I think those memories make me not like the name...I just assoicate it with him no matter what....and would never name a child of mine that name, and would have constant reminders of him if I were to date a guy with that name...

Then there was this Biotch named Molly I had class with in College and she totally got on ym nerves, being the kiss-ass and all....and because of her, I do not like that name...and would never name a child that name.....

Anyone else?

HEY, MY DAD'S NAME IS WAYNE!!!!!!!! It's ok, though cause we call him Weenie Wayne anyway

Norman(My Dads Name)
Ethel For a woman

Ok, but to answer your question, I can never name a child something if I know that I, or someone else I know, has/had an animal named that For instance, I LOVE the name Natasha, but since my aunt had a dog named that, I cannot name a child that. But what really makes me mad is that I've loved specific names since I was a teenager and I had to go and give them all to my cats

weenie wayne!!! How cute!

SO funny Rach! I used to love the name Jasper for a pet, but when Iw as in 7th grade and my teacher gave us all CRAYFISH, I named my crayfish Jasper...and he climbed out of his bowl and died so I could never name a REAL pet Jasper

I dated an artist named Jasper, once. I still am not quite sure if that was his real name, though

Cosmo!! everyone thought it was hilarious when Kramer revealed his first name, but we have an Uncle Cosmo in my family so i didn't understand why it was funny

allure...we are naming our next dog Norman...lol


my psycho stalking ex has the same name as DH!! so the stigma of the name has worn off...


As a teacher, there are names that remind me of students that drove me crazy...Jordan, Jarryd, Ray, Will, Ronnie....lol...so I don't think I could use them...

I find the old fashioned names beautiful, but I doubt I would name my child it...like Ester and Athala (my two great aunts), but I would love to used my grandmothers names for middle names...Josephine and Martha...not as first names though

Only one name that I really hate.. and would never name a child : Hilda. It's my mother's name.

Other than that.. there's names I wouldnt use because I just don't like them, over used or just don't fit. But they're not BAD names.. just not for me. Sorry if I offend anyone, its just a personal preferrence.

Ann, Mary, Maria, Marie, Lolita, David, Josh, Penny, Rosemary, Rose, Julia (way over used in our family), Emilia, Yesnia and Jesus.

Those are about it I think, for now. hehe

ETA: Also hated name, not to be used: Ruth, my stepmothers name.
