Guys, some of you need to differentiate between an opinion and an insult. If a person dislikes a name and it's your name, well it's their opinion, not a dig at you. Why take it personally?

pfft.

My post was clearly a joke.

Wasn't directing that at you, Des.

Yeah I know Dudess, thanks.

Thank you for logging in, BossArky.

Marloes is a common Dutch name for girls.

The names I most dislike are ones which just sound horrible to the ear. That includes Grainne (just reminds me of groin), Gretchen (wretching), Gertrude. I also think Ursula is a horrendous name.

Endasaurus

Enda?! People dont like Enda?!?! :eek: :eek:


AKA the best name ever hahahaha


Was amused to see Assumpta mentioned so many times, I know one that goes by the name of Sumpt usually and shes lovely.


Fiachra!! Rubs me the wrong way, as does Oisin and Derek. Oh and Lorcan :eek:


Heber and Amergain are two people I know as well, painful names by cruel parents just itching for the kids to get bullied hahaha

fricatus

Clodagh, Carmel and Edel - they always sounded to me like the parents couldn't think of a better name and just went for the boring option.

And sorry Endasaurus, but the only time I've ever seen the name Enda is when some guy is on RTÉ News moaning about how the Wesht is dying and everyone's emigrating... ochón ochón... and how we can't bury our dead because of a gas pipeline... ochón ochón. Here's a challenge: give me an example of someone called Enda who isn't - or who hasn't at least one parent from - west of the Shannon!

Patsy - for a man or a woman - sounds like a showband manager.

I knew a girl in Spain once called Eulalia Isabel, but she turned the horror into something quite nice by going as Lalibel. OK, I know it sounds like a brand of lip gloss, but I thought it was sweet

Dudess

Lol
Enda Kenny's from Mayo, my mate's boyfriend Enda is from Roscommon.

But wait! I know an Enda from Cork! Maybe his folks are from the west though.

The Al Lad

Terry, for a man - shocking

Fiachra - sounds like Irish word for teeth

Oisin - sounds like onion

Lawrence - of arabia ???

Loman - nut case ???

Patrick, Paul, Michael, Thomas & Eric

stardust_dublin

Ingrid is another horrible name...

keefg

I worked with an American woman a few years back and her name was..................Rusty Root

Very unfortunate...but coud have been much worse if it was a mans name

Doesn't that mean 'piglet'?




I'm fairly certain it does.

My idiot of a cousin called her poor kid this! Personally I think it's tantamount to child abuse. Just wait till all the kids in her class find out her names mean piglet. Think of all the therapy she's gonna need!

My Primary School Principal was called Fiachra and it used to confuse the hell out of me. Don't know how anyone can hate those last names you mentioned though.

I f***ing hate the name Imogen. Sounds like some posh Z-Lister.

The worst name has to be Kian with a K. Why would they think any boy wants to be named after someone out of Westlife?

Endasaurus

Do you not like people west of the Shannon or something? :eek: I fail, I'm from Galway hahahaha


Oh and add Conrad, Jasper, and Marcus to the list :cool:

Bláithnead (its the afternoon show's fault!)

Do you know someone whose REAL name is Jim Jim?

tadhgh...pronounced tyge ....it gets my goat

Zaph

I hate all those monosyllabic shortened names for boys that are so popular these days - Jack, Sam, Ben, etc. They're crap names, and if you named your son with the longer versions of some of them you're not fit to be a parent.

csk

I never did like Margarite or Facthna (sp?) or Gormfhlaith (Gormla?)

How in the **** is my name thrown in with a load of names used by either the English aristocracy, over religious parents or pretentious types who Gaeligise their surname to something it never was (you know, people who have a name clearly of mainland England origin or Viking origin like, I dunno, Johnson, and Gaeligise it to some made up version like Ui Jonstainor or Mhic Jonstain)

Just out of curiousity like

Shane is in the Tracey, Sharon, Darren, Linda, Trevor bracket that is what is wrong with it.

Dudess

That's more "Shayne".

Yeah, it's rather random all right. Must say I quite like the name Shane. I went out with a Shane actually - he was a hotteh!

Borneo Fnctn

FIDELMA

Every time I hear this name I vomit in my mouth... just a little bit.

I know a Bogdan.

Hanora

Hanora is my family name - we shorten it to Nonie which is way nicer!


People who have surnames for first names.
My great-aunt is called Thompson (thoma for short - and if any of ye are from Cork then ye'll know that Thoma is a type of brown sliced pan!!!)

THe worst name ever is Abina (sounds like vagina) It's my aunts name and i haven't heard the name ouside of the West Cork Gaeltacht! It's the Englis for Gobnait (which is also a family name which i thankfully escaped!!!) All the Gobnaits I know (there are about 8 are all quite nice but it tends to be abbreviated to Gubby - which makes me think of a goldfish for some odd reason!!!)

juuge

Has to be 'Bertie'
Once a year it would be 'happy birthday dear bertie happy bithday to you' - Plonker!

Scubadevils

My music teacher in school was Ms Melody, which is more funny I suppose than horrible

watna

The only names I think are horrible are names of people I really don't like, which I can't repeat here. I was friends with this girl who turned out to be an utter psycho... anyone I meet with her name now I'm immediately distrusful of them and disinclined to like them.

You're in school?

Is it a special school?

Is english your second language?

Slutmonkey57b

Most Irish names sound like something you're trying to clear out of the back of your throat. Never pleasant.

You see shows on discovery channel where they all have bible-type names or if say a family has a load of kids and all the names start with the same letter or the end is the same eg Jonah,Anna,Jeremiah etc etc I automatically hate all the names eg http://www.duggarfamily.com/
Also a pet peeve of mine is made-up/spelled weird names like regular names that people spell in Irish to make them unusual or traditional when really the parents are setting their kids up for years of how is that spelledhow do you pronounce that/where did that come from/well if you dont like you can change it etc

What, Fleming? I thought that was a surname.:p

goodgodholmes

I'm glad that in all the Irish name slagging, my name (Maeve) hasn't been mentioned. I think it's pretty awful, it sounds so... round.

Names I hate:

GIRL
Doireann (pronounced Dirin - reminds me of intestines for some reason)
Attracta (Used to work with a women with this name, she was pretty old, I thought she was joking and laughed. Reminds me of a tractor)
Catriona - not sure why
Jane
Karen
Wilma
Winifred
Fionnuala
Yvonne (My mum's name, it's atrocious)
Geraldine (My aunt's name on my mum's side, eurgh)
Rita (My grandmother's name on my mum's side. Clearly she wanted to inflict her pain on her children)
All those religious names previously mentioned... Concepta etc. Dreadful.
Verity

I know a Bernie born 1988. She has a twin called Christina, which was also mentioned, but pronounced in the Aguilera sense rather than in the Vagina sense!

I used to hate the name Regina but I'm now a huge fan of Regina Spektor so that's biased me into thinking it's less awful.

BOY:
I know a man with the name Ronnie Pius Mary - thought it was funny given all three of these names have been mentioned as completely awful.
Homer
Cormac
Gary
Edward (even though one of my friends is called Ed, I still think this name is horrible)
Juan - I know it's a Spanish name but it hurts my throat to say it
Tomás
Victor
Tod
Oisin
Oscar
Finbar


My friend's mother is a primary school teacher, and she was telling us about an African boy in her class named Destiny, with sisters called Blessing, Charity, Faith, and... Mary.

embee

Chloe - worst name ever. I know I'm more than likely offending a parent out there, but it is disgusting and as common as muck now.

Ciara - hate it.


I hate all these stupid names for boys like Corey and Jayden... total chav names.

My name hasn't been mentioned yet \o/
