HelpRe: Names we never warmed up to... why do you love / like them?
in reply to a message by erb816
The only ones I like are Peter and Margaret.
Peter is nice, though that might just be my Hunger Games obsession…
Oliver (also the nickname Ollie / Olly) - very basic
Asher, Ashton, and anything to do with "Ash" - SO OVERDONE
Archer, Archibald, and anything to do with "Archie" - Archer is too trendy, Archibald is too old fashioned, and Archie is very Harry/Meghan vibes (not a good association)
Dylan - I don’t like it either, I’m not sure why.
Andrew - Prince Andrew. Another bad royal association.
Gary - makes me think of a builder. No offence to builders, but in my opinion it’s very middle aged.
Kyle - sporty American teenager.
Cody - dog name.
Corey - sounds like a bad mashup of Cody and Rory, both of with I dislike. But I do love Cora for a girl.
Patrick (also the nickname Pat) - I love the nickname Paddy. I used to like Patrick but I’ve gone off it.
Jeremy - Jeremy Clarkson.
Paul - dislike the sound. Pretty basic and dated.
Dustin - sounds like dustbin.
Margaret - I really like it but prefer Margot.
Ashley - overdone and tryndeeigh
Alice, and by extension Allison - overdone and basic
Gertrude (I dislike Gert, but think Trudy is worse) - one of the few old lady names I can’t stand.
the nicknames Pat & Patti (though I think "Trish" or "Tricia" is okay for Patricia) - boring and dated.
Brittany, Britney, etc. so dated and had an unattractive sound.
Nicole - super dated, but I do like Nicholas on a boy.
Courtney - awful on either bender.
Danielle - it’s okay. But I prefer Daniella
Melanie, Melody, and anything to do with "Mel" - sounds like Melon
Shelly, Shelley, etc. - tortoise vibes
Shelby - tortoise vibes
Kelly - nice nickname but I don’t love it.
the nickname Angie (though Angela is the only full name I dislike) - agree, I do like Evangeline and Angelica though.
the nickname "Sam," for anyone - dislike Samantha, but Samuel is okay.
