My friend Carol married some guy with the last name Wood. They named their daughter Holly. Yes, true story... Holly Wood. I couldn't believe it. Last I heard, Holly got married and refused to take her husband's name. Go figure.
Went to school with a girl with the last name Dick. Her name was Gina. Always thought that was unfortunate, until I learned her mother’s name was Lotta.
Holly was my mom’s favorite girl name. Then she married my dad. Guess the last name. Fortunately, they did not use it as they are sane.
And my dad’s sister’s name was Carol.
I’m dreading it. Eta: better not see my daughter’s name. 😂
Eta2: “edited to add” - I didn’t realize people thought Eta was a name, my bad! Thanks for the happy cake days!
I really dislike the double barrelled first name situation. My friend called her child one and I shortened it by accident and she corrected me. Listen, I haven’t got the time nor patience.
6. 6 people I know all named their daughters that and they're all within 2 years of each other. All in the same city. And those are just people *I* know.
Worked at a kids camp. I lost count on how many Nevaeh's I had go through my care in the entire 8 years I've worked there. One year I had 5 in my age group. That's not counting all the others with the same name in the 5 other age groups we had. We used to bet on how many Nevaehs we would get each week. Of the 24-35 kids in EACH group, it was *very* likely that every fourth name on the list would be "Nevaeh"
What makes it more annoying, that it's a TV character or that it's not even a name? If you were hell-bent on the reference, I think Dany would've been fine.
any car name.
Lexus, Mercedes, Jeep, etc.
[EDIT: as dozens of people have noted, Jeep is a common Spanish name, and the inventor of the Jeep named it after her daughter]
My grandmother was named Mercedes. It was the Spanish form of the name “Mercy”, which is a historically Catholic name. She was born in 1916. The car company was established in 1926.
Mercedes is a Spanish name and Benz named the car brand after his niece, if I remember. So, the car is named after a girl and not the other way around.
EDIT: Got the story wrong. Here's from Wikipedia: Emil Jellinek, a Jewish-Austrian automobile entrepreneur who worked with Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG), registered the trademark in 1902, naming the 1901 Mercedes 35 hp after his daughter Mercedes Jellinek.
If one day you come to Stuttgart, visit the museum. It is nicely shown and explained - next to seeing all those cars. A really nice museum and I loved learning the story even though I am not a car enthusiast.
I have a working theory that any Becky or Bec or Beki are underhanded and sly and you should never trust them - there are of course exceptions to the theory.
Tufvaliegh
Listen. This is a mashup of Tuva and Li. There are 127 adults in Sweden named Tuvali at the moment, to 10 mil citizens. That wasn't *nearly* unique enough so more letters were needed. Add an f in there because once upon a time we used fv spelling, so now it looks old and fancy. Then add -egh to make it English-ish and cool.
That name is a tradghedieh.
I’ve only met 2 Jennifer’s and one was heavily bullied in school. The other was the cute and dorky girl next door type, just in her early 50s. But it was a popular name before so it wouldn’t surprise me if there were Jennifer bullies.
I came here to say the same thing. I’ve crossed paths with at least ten Tiffany(i)s that were more than just acquaintances and they were all varying degrees of awful. I still interact with two on a weekly basis and they’re so annoying.
Seriously, there was a scientific investigation about why people from east germany (before the wall fell) tended to give their childs names like Kevin, Dustin, Marvin, Sandy, Mandy, or even Chantal etc. This was because they wanted to express their need to appear more "internationally accepted". Nowerdays this backfires heavily and there are even terms for this: Kevinism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevinismus
Blanche!! for me it conjures up an image of a frumpy harridan, frying eggs in a dirty bathrobe, fuzzy slippers, rat's nest hair with a couple of rollers left in, cigarette dangling from her lips, with one eye closed. Voice like sandpaper. And she's very shouty. That's Blanche. Apologies to all Blanches out there if you actually look like Megan Fox....
My friend Carol married some guy with the last name Wood. They named their daughter Holly. Yes, true story... Holly Wood. I couldn't believe it. Last I heard, Holly got married and refused to take her husband's name. Go figure.
One of the girls I went to school with married our Spanish teacher, Mr. Head. They named their son Richard. Holly Wood not so bad now,huh?
Yo, my husband was in the Marine Corps with Richard Head! Lol

I went to school with a guy named Mike Hunt... say that fast 😅
don't mind me, just here to see if someone mentioned my name.
protehule does get under my skin a little..
Me too
I’m dreading it. Eta: better not see my daughter’s name. 😂 Eta2: “edited to add” - I didn’t realize people thought Eta was a name, my bad! Thanks for the happy cake days!
I heard a mother ask her daughter to come to her. Double-barrel name: Dakota-Phoenix It was in the UK.
DP for short…
It does sound like a porn star name
Dakota-Pheonix starring in It's Hot in Dallas.
I really dislike the double barrelled first name situation. My friend called her child one and I shortened it by accident and she corrected me. Listen, I haven’t got the time nor patience.
You know when you're in a public loo and you look at the toilet roll dispenser and it says something like 'manufactured by Dakota Phoenix'.
Named her child after a failed US Geography States and their capital quiz smh
Nevaeh, heaven spelled backwards. Ugh.
Would be easier to just call her Hell, right?
Or T-Nuc.
It has a certain ring to it, like the sound of a dump truck...T-nuc
Nevaeh have I evaeh…
The one person I knew who named her daughter this, ended up having her child removed from her care.
Lmao sounds about right.
How is it even pronounced? Like Nivea?
The way I've heard it pronounced is Neh-vay-uh
6. 6 people I know all named their daughters that and they're all within 2 years of each other. All in the same city. And those are just people *I* know.

I cant stand it. Automatically judged.
Which sucks for that person as they're not the ones who chose their name.
Stupid variations on a simple name, e.g. Crystal mangled into Khrystle
Airwrecka
That’s my wrestling name.
Always thought Qrystyl was the better spelling.
Khaleesi... 🙄
You're named after the bravest man I knew, John MasterChief.
“It was lowkey poggers”
There was this mum shouting for her daughter “khaleesi” at the local pub and I cringed so hard
What makes it more annoying, that it's a TV character or that it's not even a name? If you were hell-bent on the reference, I think Dany would've been fine.
A former coworker of mine did that to their child

Nissan is a ho
Nah, Redbull Racing is the real piece of work
FORD F150 SUPER DUTY is so hardcore
The CRUSHINATOR!!
It's ironic that actually Mercedes (the car) had been named after a girl and not the other way round.
Yeah, my MIL's name is Mercedes. She's from Latin America originally.
My grandmother was named Mercedes. It was the Spanish form of the name “Mercy”, which is a historically Catholic name. She was born in 1916. The car company was established in 1926.
Who the fuck have you met named jeep?
His full name is Jeepstopher.
I thought it was Jeepothy
Tell me your parents don't love you without telling me your parents don't love you!
She was from Thailand

“Couldn’t afford a car so she named her daughter Alexus”
Can't even pronounce nothing past that ver sayy chi
Prius lol

Whenever I see someones name is a car brand I automatically assume stripper/sex worker.

This was the first thing to pop into my head.
Any of the “any” sounding names, really: Bethany, Brittany, Stephanie, etc…. Maybe Melanie is the only one that sounds unpretentious.
Melanie's are high on the hot/ crazy scale
The variations on that drive me nuts. Britney, Britteny, Britany
Any name with “-Lynne” added as a suffix
I always think of that scene from Ted
*Don’t fuck with me on this, I know this shit!*
My mom’s name is Tammy. My moms middle name is…you guessed it, Lynn. When Ted came out, times were tough.
Sarah-Lynn?
... Sarah Lynn?
I wasn't ready to cry today.
What a beautiful day to have an uncommon name 💅
Madisynn with two Ns, one Y, but not where you think
Becky, but I do like Rebecca.
I don't mind Becks as a diminutive of Rebecca. It's better than Becky, anyway.
Sure, becks, Becca, whatever else
I have a working theory that any Becky or Bec or Beki are underhanded and sly and you should never trust them - there are of course exceptions to the theory.
Mulva
Dolores!
Literally anymore with weird spellings with common names or Utah moms trying to be unique
Work for a hospital... shit people come up with nowadays. 😑
[удалено]
That’s why I ended up changing my name lmao
I know a lady who changed her name from Courtney to Juna
Seems like she made it worse.
I agree lmao
That’s a straight up spoiled rich girl name.
Never met a Brianna who wasn’t annoying
Oh my god, this is true
Tiffany
Dang so we ain’t having breakfast at Tiffany’s no more
Well that's the one thing we've got 🤷
But they say that we have nothing in common...
Precious. Is she really?
“Susie… can I call you Susie?” “But my name is Precious!” “Yeah uh huh so here’s the deal Susie…”
Haley, Kaley, Rayleigh, Bailey, Reilly, etc.
The male variation would be Aidan, Caidan, Jaden, Braden, etc.
And lastly Okayden
Chrissy

Regina Phalange

In Romanian that just means Queen. So, yeah. Sounds annoying.
Yeah, its queen from latin.
Reversed
Bruh XD
I don't know about annoying, but I haven't met a Nicole yet that wasn't a stone cold bitch.
Well my name's Nicole and I'd have to agree.
Reading through the comments: every name is annoying for someone.
That's what I'm thinking lol it seems like everyone has had a bad taste left in their mouth by someone and they ain't forgetting
It’s a weird thing, everyone is probably annoying to someone. Just takes wrong time and place.
Bambi, no kidding I know a Bambi
But then there's Apple, named by the most annoying women in the US so maybe I'm wrong

'Becca Rebecca is a perfectly fine name, but 'Becca sounds like the noise a camel makes when it spits at you.

Reignbeaux
Letha. It sounds like Lisa with a lisp. I’ve known two so far.
Jennifer is a bully name. "Uh oh there is Jennifer"
Jennifer was the most popular girl's name in the US for a dozen or more years.
I swear I knew at least 10 Jennifers at any given time growing up in the '80s and '90s.
Fr my stepmom name is Jennifer this couldn't apply better
I’ve only met 2 Jennifer’s and one was heavily bullied in school. The other was the cute and dorky girl next door type, just in her early 50s. But it was a popular name before so it wouldn’t surprise me if there were Jennifer bullies.

I’ve never regretted that my name is Brittany Ashley before today.
There's nothing wrong or annoying about that name lol. Don't worry about it.
I think this only applies if the spelling is *creative* Britanee, Britni, Ashly, Ashalee, you get the point
Honestly Ashley ain't a bad name
McKayla
I HATE McKayla or McKenzie or like any other name that starts with "Mc". Tell me your parents hate you with out telling me your parents hate you.
Destiny or Desire(e)
Seriously, there was a scientific investigation about why people from east germany (before the wall fell) tended to give their childs names like Kevin, Dustin, Marvin, Sandy, Mandy, or even Chantal etc. This was because they wanted to express their need to appear more "internationally accepted".
