First names that don't suit adults

[GoddessOfGuinness]

Yanni.

[ohiosmith]

1. Any name ending in a Y, I or IE.

[johnnie]

2. I guess it's time to change my name

:shrug:

[ohiosmith]

4. Sorry John.

[johnnie]

7. Oh, it's ok

I'll live. I just have to tell everyone I know to stop treating me like a child. :)

[ohiosmith]

9. That's a good boy. Now go wash for dinner.

[raptor_rider]

5. Sigh

Same here... :cry:

[Shredr]

12. I think Johnny Depp's name suits him perfectly.

Edit: change ie to y

[MN ChimpH8R]

14. It worked for Johnny Carson

:shrug: the "y" reads a little better, IMHO.

[xmas74]

17. Time to change my nickname.

And it's the only one I go by.
Most people say it suits me.

[qnr]

20. If Terry is good enough for my birth certificate.... n/t

[eyesroll]

Signed,
Stacie

[Left Is Write]

[GirlinContempt]

53. Uhm

Aly?

KathY
SandY

A hundred other shortened version of perfectly good names?

[democracyindanger]

3. Junior

[ohiosmith]

6. and Bubba.

[Wcross]

8. I have a supervisor at work that likes to be called "Bobby"

The guy is an asshole and 50+ years old. Why would a 50+ year old man want to be called "Bobby"? If stuck with the name of Robert I would go by Bob or Rob or Robert.

[Left Is Write]

32. I often hear other celebrities call Robert DeNiro "Bobby."

It comes off as if they are trying to sound close to and chummy with him...but maybe he likes it? I like Rob as a nickname for Robert.

[philosophie_en_rose]

10. Baby.

:shrug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. Sissy

I had a friend who dated a woman named Sissy. Ick.

[newsguyatl]

11. cody

[Tallison]

18. Yes!

Cody was the excuse for my last thread on the subject!

[spacelady]

62. What happened to Cody the hippie--inquiring minds want to know.!?

[MN ChimpH8R]

13. Just about any of today's trendy or "creative" names

I find it hard to imagine a grownup called "Kayleigh" or "Casey" being taken seriously. And those aren't as bad as the ghastly names in the thread from last week. IIRC, the worst one there was Squirrelisha.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. Squirrelisha?

:rotf:

Oh my god.

[MN ChimpH8R]

24. I think so - or something very similar

it was in a Lounge thread about awful names last week. If search is working you may be able to find it.

Woops - here's one thread:

[MN ChimpH8R]

25. Yes, Squirrelisha

[GoddessOfGuinness]

40. Must be someone with a rodent fetish...

That's ghastly!

[Left Is Write]

34. Could a Kayleigh ever be president?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

41. A Kayleigh would be a damn sight more effective than a

W. :D

[Left Is Write]

57. That's true.

[yellowdogintexas]

50. I totally agree!!! Anything with an apostrophe or

a wierd spelling just don't get no respect

[GirlinContempt]

54. Casey is an old Irish name

[ohiosmith]

19. ....and, any name that combines a first and middle name: Billy Bob,

Shirley Sue, Joe Ray, etc.

[Tallison]

23. Blues name formula

Combine a chronic affliction from which you suffer, a fruit that works well in pie, and the last name of your favorite 18/19th century president.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

Chuckles

[bicentennial_baby]

48. well thanks a lot

-a heather :mad:

[Tallison]

60. Yeah, Heather's my middle name

I always liked it, though. To what extent we identify with our given/middle name is another interesting issue.

[Nikia]

27. My dad's cousins Ricky and Vicky

Those were their legal names. They both had their names legally changed to Richard and Victoria respectively.

[TroubleMan]

28. Precious

I know 5 females named Precious. Two of them are kids, and IMHO it's a little corny. One is a teenager, and it sorta fits. For the two adults, I used to feel wierd calling them "Precious," but it wears off.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

29. There was a guy in my high school class named

Tommy Bill Smith (only it wasn't Smith).

Any name that stems from a nickname sounds strange on an adult.

[lpbk2713]

31. I knew a guy that was a VP at a local bank.

His name was Skip. I always envisioned him riding a skateboard while wearing a three piece suit.

[Left Is Write]

35. There is a very high-ranking local businessman here...

named Skip Oppenheimer.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

43. I knew that name had to show up here eventually.

My husband had a choice between Norman and Skip. Norman Bates made him go for Skip.

[geebensis]

33. I Just Imagine...

I try to imagine "Candie Brittanie Winkle" getting introduced at a meet the candidates lunch. Or a corporate board meeting. Or as your internist...

[jmm]

36. Tu-Tu Girl

I use to work with someone whose first name was Tu-Tu Girl.

[geebensis]

37. I know

I know a very well-to-do couple who, for reasons known only to themseleves, named their son Cletus. Huh? They're not even from the south...

Every single time I see that kid all I can think of is "Cletus the slack-jawed yokel" from the Simpsons.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

47. There's a folk singer in the area named Cletus Kennelly...

He's good!
His name has a kind of music to it...

[Xipe Totec]

38. Diploma

Given by a vengeful grandfather to the bastard son of the daughter he sent to college and came back pregnant.

No, I am not making it up.

[swimboy]

39. Tiffany. Many Tiffanies I know are gonna have a hard climb.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

45. They'll be fine until they're 35 or so.

As long as they're rock stars, flight attendants, or restaurant hostesses.

[SOteric]

44. Biff.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

49. That name makes me think of Batman comics...

BIFF!...BANG!...POW!

[yellowdogintexas]

52. or Back to the Future I< II< III nt

[GoddessOfGuinness]

61. Oh right! I'd forgotten about him!

I only saw the first movie; but I loved the way he turned into a sniveling sap at the end of the movie! :D

[Catfight]

46. Aston....that's just a strange name for a boy. nt

[Sacajawea]
