What name would you never consider? (Could be for ANY reason... ex-boyfriend.... class bully, etc.)

Okay don't want to offend anyone but I couldn't use these names not necessarily because I don't like the names but because they remind me of people

Jennifer (DH's first girlfriend--don't like her-tried to break us up in college), Wanda--stepmom

, Flecther-ex b-friend, and Rock--DH is determined to name someone Rock-ugh!

interesting... I hate the name Amy and Gwenna even though I have known several Amys that are way cool. Both were Childhood/highschool friends who tried to steal my first love. Cammie- dan's ex wife. From being a pediatric nurse, I come across certain names and they alway seem to belong to very sick, altered children. So, caleb, dakota, austin (makes me think autism) monserrat, all those names are out just because of my experiences. You know, name association with the illness. I am sure there are a few more hovering around.

I don't want any name that has been in the top 50 for the past 5 years. I have a very common name and I always felt like I wasn't anyone special because there were so many. I was lost in my name.

I won't consider the names of anyone in my family who is living either.

I think Apple would top my list of *never in a million years* names.

Blossom would be up there too..... and Heaven...and Hope.... Joy.... Precious... Princess.....Barbie......those are the ones off the top of my head that would never fly

Yeah, I'm totally not into the inanimate objects as names. Blanket is up there too.

Sorry if any of these are your names or families names! Don't mean to offend! Just not my cup of tea!
The names for sure I don't like:
Boys: (ex's/crushes/bullies first name and middle- have bad association- DH doesn't like any of them one bit- for how they treated me)
Anthony
Ryan
Mark
Devin
Judd
Nicholas
Jackson
Philip
Brandon
Robert
Ian
Timothy
Troy
John
Alan
Broughton

Girls: (popular girls who were mean to me)
Teresa
Julie
Mimi
Liz
Kristen
Kayla
Melissa
Toni
Alyssa
Kassie
Katy
Anna

And of course any of the super common names. i.e. Joesph, Thomas, Charles, Joshua, Matthew, Christopher, etc. or Tiffany, Sarah, Kaitlyn, Brianna, Danielle, etc. I hate having a common name. I was always Lindsey B in school and I hated it and I hated how everyone spelt it wrong.

I knew a few Lindseys, but I think your name is beautiful even if it is common. I always hated my name because it was too long and when I was in grade school, it wasn't very common. In the 80's it really picked up steam.

I would never use Nathan (my ex) even tho I like the name.

I like common names, so I wouldn't use anything with creative spellings or anything too trendy or "made-up sounding". No offense to anyone that likes these names, but 2 of my LEAST favorite girls names are Neveah (heaven spelled backwards...I just think it's so stupid) and Emmerson (it's a TV or a college, not a name). I also don't like anything cutesy that won't age well. Ok I'm done lol.
