Re: What's the one name you would NEVER name your kids?

I don't like any boys names that are common:
Michael, John, Joseph, Christopher, William, Anthony
And I always knew Justins & Jasons when I was little that I didn't like.

And I'd never name a boy after my FH b/c I hate Juniors!

Gilrs- Tiffany, Ellen & all the old lady names.

and oh yeah- Kim, Jennifer, Danielle. There are just too many of them.

Seriously, If I had kids, they'd probably be numbers.

OCTGroom- I knew a Howie in HS & I didn't hold it against him

I'm sure you're a really cool guy despite your dorky name!

Re: What's the one name you would NEVER name your kids?

I dont like anything too-too common or too-old. I also dont like those fad names ---Tyler, Skylar, etc. NO offense to anyone!!!

I also wont name my children a name in which I have a negative association with someone by the same name (of course)!

Ohhh there are so many but I guess for a boy it would be Stuart (dont like someone with that name) and for a girl any of the 'old lady names' like Mildred, Eva, etc.

I dont like trendy, made up names but I hate the name Bruce. No offense to anyone who likes it or has a DH or FH with the name but yuck. Bruce!

Re: What's the one name you would NEVER name your kids?

Judith specifically, or really any name beginning with J (except for Jacob because FH REALLY likes that name).

I don't want there to be any confusion - No child descended from me will be named after my evil Grandmother, who's name was Judith. To ensure that - NO J NAMES.

Sorry, you asked.
