30 Names That Have Completely Lost Their Attractiveness, According To Folks In This Online Group

I honestly don't see a problem with this name. Even if it does happen to be associated with an awesome frog puppet.

I have a great great grandfather named Nimrod😳

My FIL is Elmo. He gets alot of red stuffed monsters as gifts.

My grandfather’s name was Valiant Cleophus. They called him Vic.

I know an Earl Elmo. I won't post the last name, but he is the 3rd.

I think any kid who was named Adolf after WW2 just went by Aldo.

And while we are at it, to all the american writers and film makers out there: when naming a young or middle aged German Character in a film supposed to play today STOP USING NAZI ERA FILMS AS INSPIRATION TO NAME PROTAGONISTS!!! Like I am in my late 40s and literally neverr met a Wolfgang, Rudolf or Helga who wasn´t at least 20 - 30 years my senior! Imagine reading a book or watching a film playing in ´22 and then the American killer and the hipster girl are called Humphrey and Hortense. It sometimes almost ruins the story for me.

Once a popular name in The Netherlands, now usually replaced by Dolf.

It’s litteraly illegal to name your kid hitler

I swear this is true. Had a college here in Germany called.... wait for it..... waaaaaaaaaait: Adolf Schiedler.

There was a realtor in Maryland named Gay Horney.

My sister was named Gay. I always thought that it was a lovely name.

There was a woman at my church named Gaye, I've never seen a female one without the e on the end.

Gai Hooker, formerly maiden name of Gai Love. My high school teacher from Australia. Normal names for them.

I once knew a woman named Gayla.

I love this name unfortunately recent history has screwed us over

I know someone named Isis (named after the goddess) and she has a horrible time with it at work and social media. FB tries to flag or block her posts even though she's posting about food 😑

Such a shame, it's a beautiful name..

there's a girl i went to high school with named this, but it was spelled "icyis"

it's so pretty (isis was an egyptian goddess of motherhood and magic), unfortunately, some a**holes who took their peaceful religion and gave it a violent reputation and caused so much hate for people who actually follow it ruined the name :(

Patience is sort of nice, but something about Experience sounds awkward

My favourite two ‘virtue’ names are Serendipity and Verity. Both not that unusual in my homeland, Australia.

I have an aunt called Prudence. She had 6 children in 7 years....

Being French, my family tree was basicaly Nicole, Anne, Marie, Suzanne for women, Jean, Nicolas, François for men during centuries. Then the Révolution hit the fan and people were allowed more names and pretty optimistic apparently. Everyone became flowers or virtue for a decade or two.

I would love to meet someone named Grand Master Cat Blaster. (Capital acquisitions tax… not the murder mitten moggy.)
