Maybe your childhood enemy had the name or your sinister boss or maybe you just don't like the sound of it for a reason you can't quite put your finger on.
Is there a name/s that do this to you? What are they? For me it's Jessica and Andrea
| Yes | 23 | |
| No | 11 |
I think the name gaylord is really funny. They're a billionaire family that names all their hotels after their name. Sounds like a gay club or something.
The name my parents gave me at birth. Fucking stupid name. Very happy I was able to change it
i dont like bein addressed by my first name by strangers
fuckin pisses me off at the doctors office or bank when they do that

Karen. Oh, also the million variations of Caitlin, destiny, diamond, and Nevaeh. I just think girl names suck. I would totally change my name if it wasnt a hassle.
Gene...Chad, Chet...
Funnily enough I was going to make a post asking if people would be willing to share their first name.....hmmmmm
I can't stand the name Ruby. I plainly just can't if anything the name sounds kinda slutty to me not sure about others that think the same way that I do about the name.
I do also understand why one would not stand Jessica. I also cannot stand the name Jessica my only reason for not being able to stand the name is mostly because I have met many girls with that name and there were like 4-5 of them when I went to school and... hell I even had a teacher with the name Jessica.
I could go on with other names I cannot stand but I am not going to list them all because I'm pretty sure it'd be just a long ass list.
I can't recall ever prejudging someone because of their name. I've always figured nobody is responsible for the label they've had from birth.
The thing that bugs me about names is when parents inflict completely made-up names or really stupidly spelled ones on their kids just to make them different. Some examples from a long (and ancient) Reddit thread:
Qur'stylle (Crystal), Alichelen (Allison), Vykktoreeah, Khrystynah, Jazzman, Khlab (Caleb), Eizack, Juhlyane, Kahyl, Khym, Lorua (Laura), Cadi, Ciaty (also Katie), Aashleigh (yes, an additional "A" at the start), Jeccica, Icesis (mother later admitted she didn't know how to spell Isis), Anfernee (and, yeah, you really do pronounce it like you're drunk or have a gag stuffed in your mouth and trying to say Anthony).
My daughter is named after her grandmothers. Her first name is the Germanic version of a name that's pretty common in the UK, the only difference being that it has an "H" in the middle and "A" instead of "E" at the end. That causes more than enough confusion amongst Brits, and I can't imagine what a pain it would be if we'd given her a really "special" name.
Where you the person named bus station number 3?
According to the census that is someones name.
i once read an article about a young teacher in the 70s who gets a job in a northern cali elementary school
she gets her cropa new first graders in for the first day and notices one is named fruitstand but figures what the hell its cali it must be some hippies who named this kid
so she calls the kid fruitstand all day
at the enda the day she checks the backa everyones nametag to see where their bus stops are and on the backa fruitstands tag it says anthony
Do you have name laws in Ireland?
In america we dont but I hear other countries do.
The most funny of them is france where you cannot name a pig napoleon.
Ireland has similar naming laws to Britain (where I moved at the age of 8). You can legally call yourself whatever you like as long as it is not for fraudulent reasons. You also cannot call yourself by a profanity or other offensive word. You can call yourself something daft like 'Headphones O'Reilly' but you can't call yourself a name that would be disrespectful to other cultures.
