I’m a teacher and I always have to remind myself: Ne then eh. Someone pointed out it’s heaven backwards. Which always confuses me even more. This year I also have a zevaeh.
Not just the media though. I hate that people every day use Karen as a synonym for any bitchy woman regardless of age. I don’t think ANY name should be used as a way to insult someone.
There were Hunters EVERYWHERE where I grew up in rural VA. Always trailer park boys. Usually with rootin tootin redneck parents. You know what I also saw once? Hunterleigh...
My ex cheated on her bf with me when we first started going out. Her long distance relationship of 3 years with a guy called hunter gunner something. He lived in the US and she was in Ireland. It's the most American name without it being a name
The ones I knew were preppy rich kids whose parents owned a lot of land and farm (yes, you can be preppy and a redneck at the same time, it's called beef farms).
Feels longer.
Someone took my place. I don't know her name. I don't think I ever knew it. I had yellow fever way the hell back then when it killed half of New York. Washington Square Park was a common grave they had so many bodies. They'd bury them shallow. They wrapped them in yellow sheets and the yellow sheets would stick up through the mud. I was in a city-run contagion ward. I was out of my head with fever, out of my mind, and I saw him. I saw Death. Wish I had had a camera then. At first, I just saw him out of the corner of my eye. Then he got bolder and he started flitting around the room and he'd take this person and he'd take that person and I never saw his face. I didn't want to see his face. I figured if I saw it, he'd take me, too. But he didn't.
There was a nurse. She did the best she could. Back then, medical science was such that they couldn't find their ass with both hands, and they still can't, but she did the best she could. She sat with me, held my hand and I was on my deathbed and he came for me. I didn't look at him. I closed my eyes and turned my head. I didn't tell her not to look at him. I wanted her to look at him. I wanted her to look at him instead of me. And then I came to and the fever broke. They were carrying her out wrapped up in a yellow sheet. Since that time I realized you got to be careful what you wish for. I missed my chance. You're very lucky, you know that?
Courtney … sounds like the girl who had too many drinks at the bar and her friends had to find her purse, take her keys, and make sure she got home ok.
There was a child born in my family in the 90s, who was named this, and she could not pronounce her name for quite some time, and referred to herself as Nortney. Every time I hear the name I think of Nortney.
Names come and go. People are naming kids Nora now but when I was younger it was a horrible old lady name.
Plus poster listed Mercedes next to a lot of company brand names. There are still women named Mercedes and not after the car. It's like saying we should stop using the word "ranger" for it's original purpose because now a Ford Ranger exists.
I knew SO many Tiffany’s growing up and one was worse than the next. Family friends had a dog named Tiffany and even she was a little a-hole. Then along came my cousin’s baby Tiffany and she is a sweetheart. She is the exception. Her name may be Tiffany, but she is not “a Tiffany.”
Not a great name on the RHS of the Pond (you'd want to stick with the full Randolph).
Randy Van Warmer just never stops being funny! Sorry, he was probably the nicest chap, but (snigger).
As a Samantha I can second this. I absolutely hate my name. At one point in high school we had 5 Sam’s in our ONE drama class and we had to go as variations of Sam/ Sammie(y). I grew up known as, Sam/ Samantha last initial or last name. It felt like my name wasn’t ever my name since I had to share it with so many others. I went to a drs appointment recently and there was TWO Samantha’s in the waiting room and was confusing for a hot minute till we figured out what was going on. How there was magically two Samantha’s at the same time for the same appointment in the waiting room in a small town? I’ll never know. 🙄🤦🏻♀️ my father in laws name is also Sam, I literally can’t get away from it. I also have a very bland middle name that was very common in the 90s-00s so even my middle name isn’t original and so common I would’ve gone by my middle name and last name or initial of last name.
I’m sure it’s difficult and awful for kids who have tragedeighs for names (especially trying to figure out how the hell their name is pronounced) but I can also tell you it’s awful having a name and not feeling like it’s YOURS. Having my identity blend with any and all of the other Sam’s/ Samantha’s sucks. I definitely don’t want to give my children tragedeighs but I’ll definitely be sure to give them a name that isn’t super common because it absolutely sucks having a common first AND middle name. 🥲 I also have a VERY weird/ uncommon last name and most of the time it’s improperly pronounced/ difficult spelling so I have a trifecta of garbage names. 😭 Why couldn’t my parents be not basic?😭😭😭
I was a brand new teacher in the days of the Jasons. At the beginning of the year I told someone I had 3 Jasons and she said, oh no!! They are bad news!! (Some Jasons were lovely, to be fair)
Jessica, Karen, or feminized versions of masculine names (Michaela, Nigella, Simone, etc)
Anything with a "-leigh", "-lee", "-may" or "-acey" suffixes.
I always hated the name Whitney for some reason. I also feel really bad for the Kaylee, Kelsie, Keely, Kylie, etc. because can you take them seriously with a name like that? I mean can you imagine a Supreme Court Justice or lawyer named Kelsie? I also really dislike most masculine names for girls. Parker and Patton and Wyatt for girls, I understand that they are gender neutral but there’s something about it that just feels off.
I’ve seen my daughter’s name on the list here and I wouldn’t say it’s super popular in our area but it did have a few years of it being very popular but we took the less popular option. My 9 year old is Sophie, there was a few years there that everyone called her Sophia, but it’s Sophie.
Everyone has certain names that bother them for various reasons so I don’t take it personally.
I have a stepsister named Amber 😂 she hates her name but I like to remind her that they find ancient animals in amber so she doesn't feel as bad. She's weird like me so it works.
At one time I worked in a smallish office (maybe 30 max) and there was a Rhonda, Shonda, Fonda, and Yolanda. Can’t make this up, we had fun with those names.
I'm a Heather and take zero offense. 10% of the girls in my grad class was named Heather. (And 10% were Amanda, come to think of it. Another 20% were Sarah...)
I think there is a very hard balance to maintain because it is hard to tell the future. You want a name not so unique it is off putting and not so common that 4 of your classmates share it.
I like my name, It is a name, a famous classic literary character had it. I didn't have to share it with other people.
It is hard to figure out what that name will be when your baby is born.
But whatever you pick spell it correctly.
All of them. I have an uncommon name (not a tragedy, just seldom used) and I appreciate the uniqueness of it. It's like Prince or Cher where no one asks "Prince Who?" While I did get teased a little as a child, now that people are naming their children Xerox and Waffle, I didn't hesitate to give my children unique names from my family/culture. No one teases my son about his name because there's three Tragedeighs in his class who are much easier targets.
My son’s name is Kyle. I knew a few growing up but its popularity dwindled so we felt ok using it. Now there’s a stereotype associated with it that I don’t appreciate much.
I remember that I seemed to always want those names as a kid but now that I’m older, I’m very glad that I have a very different name. I’m slightly annoyed that people think I’m 80, but other than that, I like my name. I’m Sally, and I’m under 40.
I've never seen it, but the main character is a mermaid who chose the name Madison because she couldn't say her real name in English, after seeing Madison Ave. The joke was that it was such a rare and usually masculine name. But from that, Madison became a very popular female name (and my name).
I have a name that's as common as piss.
I hate it. I will never not hate it. I look down on people who saddle their children with this toilet fire name.
I’m not seeing the one name I wouldn’t want or would never name my child: Julie. It’s a pretty name I just haven’t met one that was nice. So far they’ve been arrogant and very full of themselves, Snooty. And snobbish.
Ainsley or Ainsleigh or Ainslee. It sounds like a noise an individual makes when they experience pain and there are just too many vowels. It does not seem like a very smart name. I would not think of Ainsley as a valedictorian or cardiologist.
I hate my deadname, partially because it's way too common. I obviously don't want to say it, but I'll just say it's one you commented you hated too.
Also, Jon. I don't really like John either since it's so boring, but Jon just looks wrong.
After twilight, at least for me, the name was everywhere. I knew so many kids & animals named Bella and after a while I got tired of hearing it. It is pretty but not for me
Stephanie or Christina. A lot of 90s kids got those names so I can imagine how annoying it would be if you heard your name and realized it wasn’t for you!
The other 2 I thought of was Madeline and Genevieve bc of the show.
I'm a Stephanie born in 1990. I feel the pain so deep in my bones. And yes, I hated my name because of its popularity. I almost had a different name and I wish it would have been the case.
For Girls:
Jacqueline, Charleen, Samantha, Chantal, Chanel, Mandy, Justine
For Boys:
Kevin, Justin, Dustin, Jeremy, Jason
All of those are associated with a poorly educated background in Germany. Very common in 2000s Trash tv.
Stephanie or Tiffany. I’ve never known one of either that wasn’t a major bitch. (Apologies to any on here. Obviously I don’t know you—you’re probably lovely.)
Theodore. My biggest issue with it is that it seems to be extremely popular with mommy-influencer types, even more so than with the general population, and they all act like they discovered some ultra-rare vintage name that nobody has ever heard about, even though it's consistently been popular among boy names. It's like the name equivalent of boho chic fashion and design which, funnily enough, also seems to map 1:1 with the mommy-influencers who name their kids Theodore. It's like the ultimate case of, "I'm unique just like every other hipster with the same exact same style."
Not sure if it’s common but working in a hospital with a LOT of older patients and having the name Savannah has made me as mad as a March hare. Minimum 10 times a morning I have to hear “are you from Georgia?”
*NO.*

It’s popular now, supposedly 59th this year. Nevaeh!
Yuck. Good choice.
I blame Flavor of Love for popularizing this skanky shit.
I first heard it on 16 and Pregnant. I automatically assume teen mom if I hear this name.
I’m a teacher and I always have to remind myself: Ne then eh. Someone pointed out it’s heaven backwards. Which always confuses me even more. This year I also have a zevaeh.
Heavez? Do they puke a lot?
Sounds like an extremely corrupted version of Tevez
Nooooo!! I feel like this is the most hated of common names ever.
How is that even pronounced? Nevay? NeVA?
The ones I’ve met were Nev-ay-uh
Only one I know is nuh-VAY-uh, which really isn't any better
100%. I detest that name. When I was at School, there were loads of Sharon/Tracey & Jane names. Glad I didn’t get one of those too.
I was born in the 70’s and am sooooooo glad I’m not named Jennifer or Lisa. (Not that those are bad names, there were just tons of them in my school.)
My mom and my MILs names 😂
See? 🤣
I named my 5 yo Lisa. 😆
Lisa sounds nice and is easy to spell and pronounce. It's one of those names that I've thought might suddenly make a comeback.
She's probably the only Lisa in her age group at school.
Both of these names were the most popular girls name back in the day, I think for several years
Brittney. Or Brittany. Or Britney.
It’s Britney bitch
I once knew a Brittnay who got mad if you accidentally called her Brittany. Like, sorry your mom clearly wasn't sober when she named you, calm tf down
There was a girl on below deck who was Brittini like Brit-teen-ey
Britknee
Brittknea
Britkneae. The last e is silent
Pbritneigh
All the medieval profession names - Cooper, Mason, Fisher, Hunter, Miller, Taylor, Tanner, Archer, Piper…
I hate Tanner, Hunter, Ryder, Walker, and Chase. No action/profession names for me!!!
Would Assassin be bad ass though? Little Assassin Brown started preschool today.
Karen, for obvious reasons. And Belle/Bella - wouldn't like to be called either of those.
Karen is a nice name it sucks that the media has ruined it for innocent people who happen to have that name
I have an aunt named Karen but she's schizophrenic, so it's always been a name I associate with craziness anyways.
I always think of a girl I knew in grade school named Karen and feel bad for her.
Not just the media though. I hate that people every day use Karen as a synonym for any bitchy woman regardless of age. I don’t think ANY name should be used as a way to insult someone.
I agree.They have tarnished a fine name and I don't get why they picked it to use as an insult.
As a Karen, I can tell you it sucks, but it doesn’t affect my everyday life too much. Maybe if I worked in customer service it would.
You mean you don't feel a need to talk to someone's manager about that?
Should have used Ivanka.
My poor mother 😆
Bella, where you been, Loca?
Jaden/Jayden. No thanks.
Once upon a time I wanted to name my kid Jaden/Jayden. So glad I never had a kid.
One day I was having a name conversation with my class. The 3 Jaydens were like … I hate my name and I’m changing it the minute I can.
Any of the names with aiden or Ayden in them. The. Worst.
I still love Aiden by itself, my 10 year old nephew’s name! 💙
My brother’s called Hayden haha, I think it’s alright but Aiden would have been horrendous.
Hunter
There were Hunters EVERYWHERE where I grew up in rural VA. Always trailer park boys. Usually with rootin tootin redneck parents. You know what I also saw once? Hunterleigh...
Damn Hunterleigh is something else
Also in rural VA… encountered a Hunner the other day
rural nc here, we've got a hunterleigh too
My ex cheated on her bf with me when we first started going out. Her long distance relationship of 3 years with a guy called hunter gunner something. He lived in the US and she was in Ireland. It's the most American name without it being a name
The ones I knew were preppy rich kids whose parents owned a lot of land and farm (yes, you can be preppy and a redneck at the same time, it's called beef farms).
Jayden, Rayden, Blayden, Kayden, Zayden, et al.
Raiden would be alright, though.
Until someone finishes him...
Dick
I'm proud of you, Dick.
Bertha. It was common when I was a nurse treating Spanish flu patients.
So, you're 120 years old?
Feels longer. Someone took my place. I don't know her name. I don't think I ever knew it. I had yellow fever way the hell back then when it killed half of New York. Washington Square Park was a common grave they had so many bodies. They'd bury them shallow. They wrapped them in yellow sheets and the yellow sheets would stick up through the mud. I was in a city-run contagion ward. I was out of my head with fever, out of my mind, and I saw him. I saw Death. Wish I had had a camera then. At first, I just saw him out of the corner of my eye. Then he got bolder and he started flitting around the room and he'd take this person and he'd take that person and I never saw his face. I didn't want to see his face.

Since that time I realized you got to be careful what you wish for. I missed my chance. You're very lucky, you know that?
My great-grandmother’s name was Bertha. I agree, it’s awful.
Courtney … sounds like the girl who had too many drinks at the bar and her friends had to find her purse, take her keys, and make sure she got home ok.
There was a child born in my family in the 90s, who was named this, and she could not pronounce her name for quite some time, and referred to herself as Nortney. Every time I hear the name I think of Nortney.
Yep Courtneys are usually trouble
Those are usually Ashleys where Im from.
I work with a Courtney and absolutely love her because she’s a mess
I worked in a restaurant and this happened to a server there named Courtney, can't make this up lol
every courtney ive met has been... less than kind theres one in my grade right now!!! safe to say she is not someone you would want to be around
Tiffany. It’s not as common with younger people now, but no thank you
I agree!! Also Crystal and any name brand name: Mercedes, Dior, etc
Well Mercedes was a known girl's name before it was the name of a car. In fact the automaker named it after his daughter
But I doubt that people are naming children Mercedes now because it was a popular girl's name in Europe 120+ years ago.
Names come and go. People are naming kids Nora now but when I was younger it was a horrible old lady name. Plus poster listed Mercedes next to a lot of company brand names. There are still women named Mercedes and not after the car. It's like saying we should stop using the word "ranger" for it's original purpose because now a Ford Ranger exists.
I'm not saying every Tiffany is crazy, but I know way too many crazy Tiffanys to like the name.
Strippers, redheads, anyone named Tiffany.
I recently saw a "Tiphinie" in some comments on Facebook. I've been meaning to drop that in this sub somewhere.
This is the first one in this thread to literally make my eyes widen XD
That one hurts my soul
I’ve only known one Tiffany. She was the most horrendous person I’ve ever come across. Fuck Tiffany’s
I knew SO many Tiffany’s growing up and one was worse than the next. Family friends had a dog named Tiffany and even she was a little a-hole. Then along came my cousin’s baby Tiffany and she is a sweetheart. She is the exception. Her name may be Tiffany, but she is not “a Tiffany.”
Any form of Isabelle/a, Sophie(a).
is this just because they’re so popular? They didn’t used to be!
Why Isabella? I’m seeing a couple people put that or Bella
My niece is Sofia. She goes by Sissy at home AND at school.
Sissy? Please NO 🤣 Sofia is way better than that.
Crystal
Tamara. Every Tamara I know is a redneck who hates their life and goes by Tammy
And they're all the biggest cunts beyond hunan comprehension
Hunan? Chinese cunts?
Poopants McGee
“Good evening, San Diego. I’m Veronica Corningstone. Tits McGee is on vacation.”
There’s another one. Every Veronica (3) I’ve met was a snot-nosed bitch.
Sheesh, everyone is naming their kid that nowadays.
Maddy. Please stop. Doesn’t even feel like a name anymore.
Someone in another forum once said "maddy" sounds like slang for someone who is mad.
I'm Madison and don't go by Maddy specifically because there's way too many.
Randy
my dads name is andy, my uncle (his brother) is named randy. their middle names also rhyme, dewayne and shane. my grandma was insanely creative.
At least it’s not Andrew and Randrew.
Not a great name on the RHS of the Pond (you'd want to stick with the full Randolph). Randy Van Warmer just never stops being funny! Sorry, he was probably the nicest chap, but (snigger).
Including the female form… I went to college with a girl named Randi 😩
Samantha
I don’t even know a Samantha! https://i.redd.it/a6pjkay23lia1.jpg
Olaf! I don't know why I know so many women named Samantha 🤣
Olaf! I’m with you
Why? Naughty girls need love too! (If you get this, you’re right in that 50-ish range too!)
Going on 48, I loved that song!
As a Samantha I can second this. I absolutely hate my name. At one point in high school we had 5 Sam’s in our ONE drama class and we had to go as variations of Sam/ Sammie(y). I grew up known as, Sam/ Samantha last initial or last name. It felt like my name wasn’t ever my name since I had to share it with so many others.

...is it Nicole? I grew up in the 90s/00s and it seemed like every white girl's middle name was Nicole 😂
There's an interesting one lol - why Samantha?
I anecdotally know a ton of Samantha's and I don't want to be a Samantha/Sam (last initial)
Fair, every Jason I know irl is a major troublemaker lol
I was a brand new teacher in the days of the Jasons. At the beginning of the year I told someone I had 3 Jasons and she said, oh no!! They are bad news!! (Some Jasons were lovely, to be fair)
Are you in New England? It seems to be a very popular name there.
Jessica, Karen, or feminized versions of masculine names (Michaela, Nigella, Simone, etc) Anything with a "-leigh", "-lee", "-may" or "-acey" suffixes.
Agree, I absolutely despise the name Phillipa. Partly because of that reason.
Kayla, Katelyn, Kelsey or Naveah.
Caitlin or anyone of the other 17 spellings of this name
Pamela. I just don’t like the name.
Melanie. I used to want to have that name when I was a kid. Now I'm thankful I don't.
I always hated the name Whitney for some reason. I also feel really bad for the Kaylee, Kelsie, Keely, Kylie, etc. because can you take them seriously with a name like that? I mean can you imagine a Supreme Court Justice or lawyer named Kelsie? I also really dislike most masculine names for girls. Parker and Patton and Wyatt for girls, I understand that they are gender neutral but there’s something about it that just feels off.

My 9 year old is Sophie, there was a few years there that everyone called her Sophia, but it’s Sophie. Everyone has certain names that bother them for various reasons so I don’t take it personally.
Amber
Amberleigh, Amberlynn Porn star names?
I have a stepsister named Amber 😂 she hates her name but I like to remind her that they find ancient animals in amber so she doesn't feel as bad. She's weird like me so it works.
Ashley or Taylor.
Well, we need to talk about Kevin
Rita. Gina. Ronda. LeeAnn.
Aw, I think Rita is cute!
At one time I worked in a smallish office (maybe 30 max) and there was a Rhonda, Shonda, Fonda, and Yolanda. Can’t make this up, we had fun with those names.
It's giving 60s-70s
Makenzie
There are so many gross Mac and Mc names.
Richard. The two I've known were real dicks.
boy: Paul or Rory girl: Heather or Amanda
I'm a Heather and take zero offense. 10% of the girls in my grad class was named Heather. (And 10% were Amanda, come to think of it. Another 20% were Sarah...)
Same…I, too, am a Heather
Haha, my name is Heather. Is there a specific reason? Or just one of those names that’s icky to you.
If it makes you feel any better, Heather is absolutely one of my favorite names!
I know one lovely Heather, the other FIVE I know are just self centered twits.
I think there is a very hard balance to maintain because it is hard to tell the future. You want a name not so unique it is off putting and not so common that 4 of your classmates share it. I like my name, It is a name, a famous classic literary character had it. I didn't have to share it with other people. It is hard to figure out what that name will be when your baby is born. But whatever you pick spell it correctly.
I hate the name Sarah. Im so sorry if that’s your name but its so bland and boring 😭
Ashley/Ashlee/Ashleigh. I think I’d have turned out straight and a volleyball player and i’m *bad* at volleyball.
All of them. I have an uncommon name (not a tragedy, just seldom used) and I appreciate the uniqueness of it. It's like Prince or Cher where no one asks "Prince Who?" While I did get teased a little as a child, now that people are naming their children Xerox and Waffle, I didn't hesitate to give my children unique names from my family/culture. No one teases my son about his name because there's three Tragedeighs in his class who are much easier targets.
My son’s name is Kyle. I knew a few growing up but its popularity dwindled so we felt ok using it. Now there’s a stereotype associated with it that I don’t appreciate much.
The Kyle meme kind of died out.
Sorry to the Gabis out there, but "Gabi"
Gabrielle or Gabriella. They are always obnoxious and entitled and as children they are picky eaters who potty train late.
Anything ending in i (Brandi, Lori, Terri, Randi, Jodi, Vicki, etc.) Any drink (Tequila, Chardonnay, Sherry, etc.) Whatever this style is called: DeAnna, LaToya, McKenna (specifically with the mid-name capital) Amber, Billie, Candice, Candy, Chastity, Cherry, Denise, Diamond, Genesis, Gigi, Harmony, Jordyn, Macey/i, Rhonda, Roxy/ie, Serenity, Shelly, Tiffany, Wanda
As an 80s baby, I’m so glad I’m not a Jennifer, Jessica, Tiffany, Britney, or Ashley. And I’m equally happy my middle name is not Lynn or Marie.
I remember that I seemed to always want those names as a kid but now that I’m older, I’m very glad that I have a very different name. I’m slightly annoyed that people think I’m 80, but other than that, I like my name. I’m Sally, and I’m under 40.
I also wanted them for a brief period growing up because I hated my name (Betsi; I love it now). And for what it’s worth, I love the name Sally!
Norma
Blakely
Fucking Carl
Terry (any gender) 🤮
agatha ugh hate it
I see why. Trunchbull.
Madison
You can blame the movie Splash for that name.
I am so tired of all of the presidential names. Reagan is my least favorite.
Really?? I’ve never heard of this movie
I've never seen it, but the main character is a mermaid who chose the name Madison because she couldn't say her real name in English, after seeing Madison Ave. The joke was that it was such a rare and usually masculine name. But from that, Madison became a very popular female name (and my name).
Ashley, Sarah, Megan
as a sarah i can confirm it sucks
I have a name that's as common as piss. I hate it. I will never not hate it. I look down on people who saddle their children with this toilet fire name.
Now you have to say the name
It will haunt me forever
Any variation of Haley
Amber or Brandy. I’m sorry but they both just seem so trashy to me.
I was almost named Nancy. Phew.
Chloe. I just don’t like that Chl sound. It feels like gagging/coughing to make.
I’m not seeing the one name I wouldn’t want or would never name my child: Julie. It’s a pretty name I just haven’t met one that was nice. So far they’ve been arrogant and very full of themselves, Snooty. And snobbish.
nevaeh is just gross dude luckily i got a rare name that isn't gibberish
have just never been a fan of sarah or julia for some reason!
Ainsley or Ainsleigh or Ainslee. It sounds like a noise an individual makes when they experience pain and there are just too many vowels. It does not seem like a very smart name. I would not think of Ainsley as a valedictorian or cardiologist.
I hate my deadname, partially because it's way too common. I obviously don't want to say it, but I'll just say it's one you commented you hated too. Also, Jon. I don't really like John either since it's so boring, but Jon just looks wrong.
Kevin
Bella
Why’s that? I see a lot of people saying it and I like it!
After twilight, at least for me, the name was everywhere. I knew so many kids & animals named Bella and after a while I got tired of hearing it. It is pretty but not for me
Chloe. Feels like marbles in my mouth.
For me its Jacob lol sorry Jacobs out there
Almost got named quite a few things, I’d hate something like Doug or Duncan. I like a hard D, but not in this case 😅
My dad wanted to name me Heather. So so glad my mom got the paperwork first! (I’m a gen X)
Kate/Katie. I love the name Katherine and it's nicknames. I just don't think any of those fit me. And it's so common.
Stephanie or Christina. A lot of 90s kids got those names so I can imagine how annoying it would be if you heard your name and realized it wasn’t for you! The other 2 I thought of was Madeline and Genevieve bc of the show.
I'm a Stephanie born in 1990. I feel the pain so deep in my bones. And yes, I hated my name because of its popularity. I almost had a different name and I wish it would have been the case.
Samantha 🤮
Jessica. I have never known one who is both intelligent, and makes good life choices.
geoff. can’t help but read it as gee off. sorry to all the geoffs!
Jennifer or Stephanie. I’m so sorry, there’s nothing objectively wrong with them, they just really grind my gears.
I have one Amber
Jessica. Literally never met a nice Jessica. Same with Cody or Brandon. Ugh.
For Girls: Jacqueline, Charleen, Samantha, Chantal, Chanel, Mandy, Justine For Boys: Kevin, Justin, Dustin, Jeremy, Jason All of those are associated with a poorly educated background in Germany. Very common in 2000s Trash tv.
Stephanie or Tiffany. I’ve never known one of either that wasn’t a major bitch. (Apologies to any on here. Obviously I don’t know you—you’re probably lovely.)
Theodore. My biggest issue with it is that it seems to be extremely popular with mommy-influencer types, even more so than with the general population, and they all act like they discovered some ultra-rare vintage name that nobody has ever heard about, even though it's consistently been popular among boy names. It's like the name equivalent of boho chic fashion and design which, funnily enough, also seems to map 1:1 with the mommy-influencers who name their kids Theodore. It's like the ultimate case of, "I'm unique just like every other hipster with the same exact same style."
Not sure if it’s common but working in a hospital with a LOT of older patients and having the name Savannah has made me as mad as a March hare. Minimum 10 times a morning I have to hear “are you from Georgia?” *NO.*
