Are there any names you refused to name your child because you knew someone named that and you couldn't stand the person?

The worst child I have ever met was named Adam.  When I was pregnant, I crossed that name off my list immediately!

Yeah, I always loved the name Sarah until I had a supervisor named Sarah who was a real witch. It ruined the name for me.

My son went to school with a girl named Secundum - how they spelled I do not know. I think that means afterbirth. Worked at a children's hospital one time and a mother had named her child Snow White and the child was dark black. I had a housekeeper who worked for me before and her twin's sons names were so messed up she could not even spell her own children's names- said her sister had named them. What a shame.

My husband has twin sisters named Mary and Mary. Yes, they have different middle names, and in the family we call them by their full names, or they are collectively known as "The girls." But anyone outside of the family knows them as Mary . . . and her sister Mary. They are fraternal twins but look so much alike that they could pass for identical. It's now 45 years since they were born, and my mother-in-law just recently admitted that the dumbest decision of her life was to name her twin daughters Mary and Mary.

Strange how it works that way - VIcki

I really liked the name Jonathan when I was pregnant with my last child, and that's what I would have called him - Jonathan. Unfortunately, I have a real loser uncle whose name is John and my sister and DH both said if you name the baby Jonathan, people will think you named him after John, and I couldn't have stood that.

Mine was Amy - JD

Every Amy I have know has been a whiny, mischevious brat. I could never name my daughter Amy.

Pet Peeves About Names?Jul 23, 2010
I understand wanting to have a name that is different. My DD was born during the time when Jennifer was the most popular name. She ran around with a group of girls in her classroom that were called The Jennifers. I have to say that all four of my kids have names that were popular at the time, Jennifer, Kevin, Michael, and William. We didn't plan that, it just happened. And there are times that I wish they had names that weren't as common place, even though I really still like the names ...

Stop With Calling Posters NamesJun 30, 2012
Reading too many posts calling specific posters names.  Messages calling posters names have been deleted with a warning to stop with the name calling and yet I'm reading more name calling from those same posters. Discuss issues and leave it at that.  Do not be tempted to call other posters stupid or ignorant because you disagree with what they write.  Posts that continue to reply calling them names will be deleted. Stick to the issues being discussed. Moderator. ...

Indiana Voter Fraud Investigation Underway After Names Changed Oct 19, 2016
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Thousands of birth dates and names listed on Indiana voter registrations were changed, officials said Tuesday, prompting an investigation into possible voter fraud.

Putnam County NY Official Refuses To Hand Over Names To Journal NewsJan 04, 2013

There is NO reason that registered gun owners names and addresses should be released and NO reason non-gun owners would be pointed out at the same time just because they live near someone who has a registered gun.  Assemblyman Steve Katz backed Sant, saying the newspaper had exposed the names of those who own guns for no good reason, and said the deci ...

After Reading The Jesus Is Coming Post And Then Hare Krishna Mantra Post...Apr 21, 2010
I was wondering exactly what kind of "faith" board this is. The poster, Catherine, in the Jesus is Coming thread felt this was the "wrong forum" for posting one's religious beliefs while another posterior in that thread says that this "faith" board is meant to be all inclusive meaning persons of all faiths can post their beliefs here. I guess I wrongly assumed that the use of the word "faith" meant Christianity as it is my belief that Christianity is the only valid belief system worshiping ...
