What's a name you love, but won't use because you've only ever met awful people with that name?

General Name Discussion
1

I love the name [name_u]Harper[/name_u], but every single [name_u]Harper[/name_u] I’ve met was an absolute jerk.

I don’t like the name [name_u]Madison[/name_u], but every single [name_u]Madison[/name_u] I’ve met (over 10 of them) have been horrible people who I want to stay far far away from.

What’s a name you like, but can’t use because of the awful people with that name you know?

[name_u]Ruby[/name_u], it’s so cute but I only know two adult Ruby’s and they are both truly terrible.

I think the name [name_f]Isla[/name_f] is cute, but I know an [name_f]Isla[/name_f] who’s terrible :frowning:

She has 4 siblings who’s names are unusable for me too. [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. They’re all terrible, especially the boys

[name_f]Cariad[/name_f]. which ironically means love. i’ve met 3 and don’t like any of them.

I won’t use [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] or any similar version of it (Estella, [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_m]Stellan[/name_m], etc). I’m not sure if I love any of them but I honestly have never even given them enough thought to ever figure out if I love them because there’s just no way I could use them since it’s the name of someone who personally wronged my family in a big way. Same goes for [name_m]Todd[/name_m] and [name_f]Selena[/name_f].

[name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f]

7

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] is lovely but the name of the meanest girl I know.

I knew ONE [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] who was awful, but she was such a monstrous person that it’s ruined the name for me.
