Re: Meeting someone with a name you hate
in reply to a message by gigibee
Oh, there are plenty of names that I do not like that I know people with.
One such name is Kelsey. No idea why, but I just do not like this name. I know a beautiful girl (her birthday was yesterday!) named Kelsey and I adore her.
I still dislike her name, but at least I have a positive association with the name.
If I hate a name because of a personal association with it, I actually HOPE to meet someone I like with the name. To help balance out my feelings on it.
A name that I am conflicted on is Chris. I know so many, and I dislike the name because of a very particular bad experience with a Chris (same with Michael). But, I have two brother in laws with the name that I adore.
