Have you ever wondered what people thought of your name? Or have you ever wondered if your name is secretly despised? You're now in luck as a baby name expert has revealed her least favourite name, claiming that it's "very forgettable", far from "whimsy", and also "boring".
Name consultant Steph - who boasts more than 198,000 followers on her TikTok account @nameswithsteph thanks to her insightful advice - roasted the name she hates in a recent video, and it's bad news for anyone called Mary. Delivering her honest opinion, the woman responded to a TikTok comment that asked for her "brutal" yet expert thoughts on the name.
Steph responded: "I'm going to say something mean about someone you know - not just about this commentor - but about everyone in the world because we all know a Mary.
"It's got be one of my least favourite classic names. I mean Elizabeth and Margaret is also stunning. Clara - beautiful.
"I know great people named Mary, but the name is boring to me and it has zero whimsy. And if you've been following me for a while you know we love whimsy.
"I mean all the variations are so much better," she admitted.
Savagely rating the name, Steph said: "Mary is a two out of ten for me for being very forgettable and common."
Not holding back from her verdict, her response to the classic name sparked a large reaction in the comment section.
TikTokers were keen to share their thoughts on Steph's "mean" slashing, while others were keen for "brutal" ratings themselves.
One person wrote: "Mary is a very common name so I agree BUT the name Mary is still good."
A second claimed: "Every Mary is so mean."
"I was so close to being names Mary I definitely feel spared lol," a third admitted.
A different user asked: "Can you do Andrea? Brutal as possible please."
"How do you feel about Claire?" Another asked, sparking Steph's response: "Love!"
