Names that your sick of?

General Name Discussion
1

Your place to rant about names your sick of, names you believe are used more than they deserve, names that should not be used, or just names you hate in general (whether you have a reason or not).:blush:

I’m honestly sick of [name_f]Margot[/name_f]. I know it’s a nice name, but it gets recommended so often on Nameberry! Also [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f].

In real life, I’m sick of [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. It’s very pretty, I’ll give it that - I can see why it is so popular. But I just meet sooo many people, babies and adults, with this name.

Oh wow. That would get boring after so long. I only know one Australian [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f], and she goes by [name_u]Stacey[/name_u] mostly anyway.

Stacey is cute and unexpected somehow. Here they usually go by [name_f]Nastya[/name_f] (Nuhs-tya) or, less commonly, [name_f]Asya[/name_f]

Unpopular opinion but I’m sick of [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] on here. I feel like it’s suggested multiple times on each thread.

On NB- [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], it was EVERWHERE for so long it’s just lost everything that was once so spunky and cool about it

IRL- NATHANIEL. I have met more than two handfuls of [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]’s and every time I meet someone new it’s like a 50/50 chance of them being a [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]

IRL -
[name_u]Remi[/name_u]/Remy - WOW I’m in a huge [name_u]Remy[/name_u]/Remi pocket!! I know 5 of them (2 boys, 3 girls) that were born in the past year or so.
[name_m]Luke[/name_m]/Lukas/Lucas - very handsome, but I know SO many of them
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] - I feel like I’ve been in a [name_f]Lily[/name_f] pocket for like 5 years. They just keep coming!

Me too! Tbh I don’t personally get the appeal. No judgment to anyone who likes it! It’s just not my personal cup of tea (not sure why, I love similar sounding names like [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Bronwen[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]).

Another one I don’t quite get, but that might be because up until like, this year the only place I’d ever heard it used was my uncle’s dog.

[name_u]Strong[/name_u] agree with this one as well.
