‘Or Cameron, what if she marries a guy named Cameron and then she is called Cameron Cameron?’
Another person commented: ‘Anything ending in “-den” i.e Jayden, Kayden, Hayden etc. Don’t know why, it just makes my teeth itch.’
While another user wrote: ‘Francesca.
‘It’s a beautiful name, but I knew a really horrid one at school (she wasn’t nice to me) and couldn’t use it. The name is forever tainted!’
The online discussion saw hundreds of online users respond to the amusing post to air their irrational dislikes.
Another user commented: ‘Mabel, Ethel or Alice….still incredibly frumpy sounding to me despite their recent popularity.’
While another wrote: ‘I wouldn’t call a girl Madison. It ends in “son” so really doesn’t belong on a girl.’
One user listed the names ‘Jack, Sam, Oliver, Olivia, Isabelle, Amelia’ as ‘just a bit over used now’ while another said: ‘I find Emma and David quite boring names.’
