What Baby Names did You Adore as a Child but HATE now?

[Sunset2009]

Since I'm only 16 & couldn't post this in the Women's Duscussion area, I decided to post here! Hope that's alright.

I've talked to a lot of older women who used to love a certain name when they were a child or teenager, and looking back, can't believe they liked that name even a little bit! Can any of you relate?

I know an older woman & she had her first child when she was only 18. Well, she named him a name that is pretty common, but spelled it very stupidly (LOL) and really regrets it now.

I like names now that I will probably hate once I become an adult, like Anastasia (even though I LOVE that name).

My 32 yr old cousin is thinking about naming her baby Anastasia, she is due april 3.

the one name that i loved for years and years was Stephanie..but now i heard the name so many times for so many years i just dont even like it anymore..plus its my hubbys grandmas name and she isnt the most pleasant lady..lol

I wanted to name a baby Elizabeth as young as I can remember and if we ever have a girl, it'll be her middle name.

Names I liked then but hate now are Anna-Lynn, Thomas. Timothy

When I was pregnant as a teenager, before Idecided to give my baby up for adoption - I was going to name her Anastasia Raven.... I still like that name- but would probably drop the Raven, as it was an homage to a girl who was a really good frind of mine at the time, who I am no longer in touch with.

Another name I remember loving was Jolene. I have no idea why

the dolly parton song jolene?

there really aren't any names that I just can't stand that I liked....I pretty much still like the ones I liked then

I used to name all of my dolls Heather, so I assumed I liked it very much I definitely don't hate it now, I just wouldn't use it as a name for baby.

I liked the names Brian and Eric for boy's names and now they are just neutral names to me.

I used to love the names Tina and Mindy. Now, not so much!

I was the Queen of hyphens. I had about ten names picked out, nearly all were hyphenated and unusual.

Astraea-Jayde Chanja
Teanna-Shea Ebony
Jordyn-Aine Aneira
Erin Sian Chiara
Sarada-(something) Romana
Nyree

These are all that I can remember. I think the boys names were pretty tame by comparison (although there was a Jory in there, after Cathy's son in the "Flowers in the Attic" series).

And what did I end up naming my children? The very traditional names of Isabel Rosemary and Lily Diane. Not a hyphen or odd name in sight At sixteen, I would never have believed that I would give my children these names.

I still love all the same names I loved growing up

LOL - This thread is fantastic!!!

As a child I LOVED the name Tiffany - that is until I met a very rude person named Tiffany so could never use the name now... Same thing happened with Theresa, Chantelle and Bridget.

I always liked the name Lucy. When i played with my sister i was always called Lucy.
I don't hate the name now but i'd never call a girl that as i think it's too twee and a little girls name.

I always liked the names Robert and James when i was growing up - now i don't think i'll even consider them
