New photo Mia, Grace and Amelia amongst WORST baby names, according to Mumsnet

WHEN it comes to choosing a baby name, you’re never going to please everybody.

Now a Mumsnet post has revealed the monikers parents say they’d never pick for their children – and they include some of the most popular picks of 2018.

The post – entitled “What you would never name a child and why?” – was posted earlier this week, and has since racked up hundreds of responses.

It’s clear that people have some very strong opinions on the subject.

One said they didn’t like Mia because it reminds them of the acronym for “Missing In Action”, while another pointed out that Lana is “anal” backwards.

Then there’s Portia – which derives from the Latin word for “pig” – and Jackson, as it can also be a surname.

People have vetoed names including Simon, Portia and Mia

Others have been put off names by people they’ve met and didn’t get on with.

One wrote: “Hannah and Sophie. Nothing wrong with those names but I’ve just met some massive t**** called Hannah and Sophie in the past!”

Another said: “Every Gemma/Jemma I’ve ever known have not been nice people. Ditto Oliver. Those names have very negative connotations for me.”

Here are a few more names people have shunned, for both hilarious and bizarre reasons…

• Olivia: “Beautiful but overused”


• Clementine: “Often shorten to ‘Clem’. In my brain, ‘Clem’ = ‘Phlegm'”


• Simon: “Simple Simon”


• Oliver: “It makes me think of Oliver Cromwell and that makes me think of Puritans and banning Christmas”


• Astrid: “Because I suggested it to [husband] and he replied ‘Ass Turd’?”


• Flora: “Makes me think of bacteria.”


• Graham: “It sounds like ‘Grey Ham'”


• Grace: “There are very few accents that say it gracefully”


• Amelia: “I find the ‘me’ so whiny”


• Mercedes: “She’s a child not a car”


• Maggie: “It sounds like maggot. Margaret is little better”


• Chloe: “Sounds too much like the German popular slang for toilet”


• Damien: “The name of the Antichrist in The Omen.”

Mumsnet users have agreed that it’s impossible to please everybody

Worried that you’ll never be able to find a name that everybody likes?

In the end, Mumsnet users agreed that almost every moniker out there seemed to have made the no-go list for at least one person.

So if you love Flora or Damien, go for it. Just try not to think of bacteria.

In more parenting news, this mum is “furious” with her sister-in-law’s “tacky” choice of baby name as it rhymes with her own daughter’s and is identical apart from one letter.

One mum fears she won’t love her second child as much as her first – and parents are praising her honesty.

And you can buy a Dyson vacuum cleaner for your child for £21.99 – and it actually WORKS.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
