A poll to speed up the day...

In the post below, someone mentioned that they realized they can't be friends with Karens or Sherris. What other name "stereotypes" do you have?

  • For some reason Davids and I have a bad history

    I can't think of any girl names

  • Mine is Dakota. It just seems so white trash to me.

    (says the lady who is pretty sure she gave her son a hillbilly name)

  • I struggle being friends with any of the various spellings of Jenny.  I've never had a good experience.
    This is my siggy.
  • Oh, tons. Here are a few.  

    I had a very very very bad experience with a Jodi in high school. It has definitely tainted that name for me. 

    I really like the name Jeffrey but would feel a bit weird naming a future child that because it was my first boyfriend's name. 

    My lifelong bff and my boyfriend's ex-wife have the same first name. It's not common, they're the only two people I know with this name. I've known my bff for 25 years, it's irritating to have to call her "my [name]" to differentiate from the little dude's mom.

     

  • David used to be my favorite boy name, and I was determined to name my child that. But then I had a BF named David, and he was a mega azzhole, and now I'm disappointed.

    Also Nancy. I just can't. Three bad experiences.

    Hey now!

    Oh, FFS.
  • Last time we had this poll I said Samantha and that's HS's name, so now I'm keeping my mouth shut. Haha.

    I'll go with guys, Karl's are no good.

  • Krystal, Destiny, Daphne

    I just picture clear heels and a pole!

  • My lunatic coworker is Robyn. I now have a massive aversion to the name. Even if someone's just talking about birds.
    Oh, FFS.
  • Cristian... ugh. Everyday with him at work makes me want to rip my hair out and scream.
  • I think I've said it before, but after a couple experiences with Davids, I decided they're mostly nuts and not good dating material.  My friends' experiences with Davids has backed up my theory that they're a bit psycho.

    Whitney, Priscilla, and Natasha are girl names I have a hard time with.  All three treated me badly in middle school.  I've started warming up a little on Priscilla because I know a nice one now.
