I hate that people ruin it for you, so that's why i try and find names of people I've never met. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-picking-a-name-make-you-realize-how-many-people-you-dont-like#post-21533 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 23:15:28 +0000 cyndistar3 21533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In a way, yes. There were some names that I loved but one of us had bad experiences with people with that particular name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-picking-a-name-make-you-realize-how-many-people-you-dont-like#post-21471 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:00:56 +0000 heffalump 21471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, we used a family (aka old person ) name so we didn't know many people with our options. I don't know anyone with our baby's name ... other than my hubby's great Grandma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-picking-a-name-make-you-realize-how-many-people-you-dont-like#post-21253 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:26:18 +0000 Andrea 21253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, that eliminates a lot of names. My daughter has a common name but we both don't know anyone else with the name so it was an easy decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-picking-a-name-make-you-realize-how-many-people-you-dont-like#post-21251 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:25:10 +0000 L2sweetpea 21251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha...I work with kids and so many names would make me think of the worst of the worst. And knowing very well the name has nothing to do with the personality or behaviors it was still so hard to </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-picking-a-name-make-you-realize-how-many-people-you-dont-like#post-21244 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:21:03 +0000 mrs.inkspot 21244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too funny. DH used to work at an after school program. It feels like every name I like reminds him of some troublemaker kid. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-picking-a-name-make-you-realize-how-many-people-you-dont-like#post-21227 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:06:41 +0000 Mrs. D 21227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before we decided to use family names, I was worried he'd want a name that I associate with a student I had trouble with when I was teaching.<br /> Then, before we found out we were having a girl, he liked the idea of naming a boy James TIberious after Star Trek. I couldn't deal with James because of a student, and the middle name was too much. Glad we're having a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-picking-a-name-make-you-realize-how-many-people-you-dont-like#post-21215 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:53:55 +0000 mediagirl 21215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG that is hilarious. It's so true, though! There are a few names I love that my husband won't accept because he has harsh feelings towards co-workers with those names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-picking-a-name-make-you-realize-how-many-people-you-dont-like#post-21201 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:42:28 +0000 Rosie Girl 21201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Almost all the names we picked, we knew someone that turned us away from the name! Luckily, the name we absolutely love, we don't know anyone named it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-picking-a-name-make-you-realize-how-many-people-you-dont-like#post-21167 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:22:17 +0000 Navy_Mommy 21167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha, or how many guys I dated in high school/college. I would hear a name or hubs would bring a name up and I'd be like, nope, I dated a ::insert name:: when I was 16. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-picking-a-name-make-you-realize-how-many-people-you-dont-like#post-21159 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:18:54 +0000 runsyellowlites 21159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea... and just knowing people of that name in general. DH has a HUGE family and we're very involved in our church (3k+) so it most names we associate closely with someone we know.</p> <p>It's made things difficult for sure. ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-picking-a-name-make-you-realize-how-many-people-you-dont-like#post-21153 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:15:42 +0000 jennylynn 21153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sad, but true. It ruined a lot of potential cute names for us. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-picking-a-name-make-you-realize-how-many-people-you-dont-like#post-21150 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:14:33 +0000 Maysprout 21150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was picking a name instead of thinking of all the awesome people I know by a certain name my brain would go to the one booger eater in second grade or bratty teenager I knew that had that name. I think I was driving my husband crazy because pretty much every name I could find something negatively associated with it. We ended up settling on a name that isn't that uncommon but neither of us knew anyone with that name so no negativity associated with us. I'm not usually such a negative nancy but couldn't get passed it for names.<br /> Anyone else? </p>
