Names which I dislike

Today during work I thought of what this week’s topic should be. There wasn’t much to do so I had plenty of time and suddenly, let’s say out of nowhere, I got an idea; names. In my big head I keep lots of names sorted; names usually with faces attached to them and how I feel about them. For example if I think of the name “Sidsel” I imagine my crazy friend with dark hair, blue eyes and a black humour who for some reason loves me. Also I recall having another classmate with the same name who lives nearby. I really hope you now get the idea of how it works. But some names got faces of people I really don’t like therefore I’ll write about a few of them.
The first name is “Katrine” - the spelling of the name doesn’t matter it can be with a “C” or with “th” it doesn’t really matter the thing is I really dislike this name. Through my short life I’ve known quite a few with this name and every single one of these girls have been unbelievable annoying and cruel. Let me give you an example of how much I dislike this name. A few years ago I held my confirmation and as a tradition you have to give your friends a red rose. Our neighbours have a girl at my age (her name is Katrine of course) and my mum asked me if I would give her a rose. My reply was: “Well I’ll give her a black one if I really have to.” Normally I don’t say such things but this really shows how this name and these people have made me go crazy over the past years.
Now to a name of the opposite gender; that name would be “Adam”. I only know a few guys with this name and let’s just say that one of them was a true jerk - the other one had classes. But the thing with this name is I can’t take it seriously - it’s overused if I may say so. I’ve read lots and lots of stories where the main character is named Adam and a brilliant example will be Adam & Eve from the bible. It has been used so many times that I don’t know what to think about it anymore and that might be a shame. Maybe I’m not really sure either way I’ll never name anything or anybody Adam or Katrine for that matter.
I hope I’ve made my point I’m not really sure it sounds kind of crazy but who cares, if it sounds crazy then my mission is completed.

  1. That was not as crazy as it sounds - reminds me of my own ramblings haha. Anyway, I know what u mean about the name Adam. I have a mate of the same name but he's not a friend or should I say - I'm a friend 2 him. It's a tricky situation so in the end I keep my distance & talk/help the guy as on a need-2-help basis. Friend 2 all I am but all u need is 1 good one & she knows who she is!!! :)
