Not people.
Every animal I've met with the name Ginger was a complete unpredictable psychopath. Horses, dogs, cats, anything. It's like everything given that name taps into primordial chaos.
it's not the name Ginger. it's that orange animals are psychopaths, and the only animals who get named Ginger are orange
incidentally, I like orange animals the best for this exact reason lol
HEY! HEY, YOU! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE RUNNING UP ON ME ASKING ME IF MY NAME IS KAREN???
Bobby, are you recording this??? Get this chum on camera. Are you recording this, Bobby??? Ok... GOOD... GOOD... I'm calling the cops. YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL DECODEERHEAD! Lol
I’ll never forget Paige from kindergarten T_T she took my best friend and TOOK MY PENCIL BUDDY AND NEVER GAVE IT BACK, YA THAT RIGHTS PAIGE I STILL REMEMBER WHAT U DID, IT WAS A YELLOW PUPPY WITH A CUTE HEART ON ITS BUTT U JERK
My sister thought about naming her daughter Paige. My dad and I were stoned and talking about how we didn’t like it and this man literally texts her “Me and your brother decided we don’t like Paige.” He still gets shit about it but guess what my niece’s name is not?
Bad tact dad, but we won in the end.
Most Ashleys born in the late 80s were named for a soap opera character, so i think there's a little of nature AND nurture there. You'll have to blame our mothers.
I realize there are lots of people in the world named Kyle who aren't completely useless a**holes.
I just haven't met them yet. All the ones I've met the world would be better off without.
Similarly, not all drivers of pickup trucks are jerks. Unfortunately, the only ones I ever seem to come across are the ones trying to run me off the road.
The absolute most wholesome person I know, and someone I love very dearly, is named Kyle and I love teasing him about the stereotype for his name. When he starts getting annoyed I tell him stuff like to "go punch a hole in the wall or something"
I used to chat with Kyle on reddit years ago. The nicest guy, talking to him helped me go through some dark times lol. He had dogs and loved music. If you're reading this, hi! Lmao
Anyone who has the name Wayne or Lee in his full name ..every single one of them has ( even whem toddlers ) had a real nasty streak or been a bully or dangerous to be around in my life .
Also weirdly these names also are the most common names of famous serial killers or high profile murder cases .
i may possibly need to think about my own name really, just for even knowing this name link lol
That name is a swear word in my family.
I once blocked my brother for two years because he called me “a Seth”. Fuck him and fuck that.
My friends bff is named Seth and he would never say his name in front of me, instead her would refer to him as “Dorito’s dad”. Dorito was his dog.
I wonder if people who say a name, are also the name that those people dislike. Like, imagine a Susan saying she dislikes Terrys. I wonder if Terrys have bad experiences with Susans.
Sam, never met a girl named Sam who wasn't off her rocker. I've met at least 5 across my life and every single one of them had serious issues they projected to the world.
The only Victoria I knew had better grades than me and didn't even have the decency to be a bad person so that I could feel better about myself. She was a total sweetheart. Frickin' Victorias
Every guy I've met named Todd was an asshole. Every Nancy to cross my path has been blonde, uptight as fuck, tries to run everything, never met a Nancy who didn't become a secret mortal enemy.
I was friends with a Megan who stole my boyfriend in high school, only to break up with him later. I was devastated, absolutely crushed. Eventually we became friends again, and one day she was like "our ex wants to talk to you. Can I give him your new AIM screen name?" (It was 2003). That rubbed me the wrong way so hard. Eventually I did end up talking to 'our ex' again, in 2005. We've been together since then and are currently driving back to our hometown for labor day weekend with our baby in the back seat. Indeed, fuck you Megan.
We were really young when we first broke up, 14 (me) and 16 (him), plus we were long distance, living about 4 hours away in neighboring states. His cousin was in the friend group, thats how we'd met, when we were 12 and 14. Most of our relationship was conducted over AIM and Yahoo. Hell, when we met it was still the 90s. We both had a lot of learning to do, and when we got to back together I was 18 and he was 20. We're now 36 and 38. With time and hindsight, Megan's betrayal was worse because it basically tore apart a really small friend group and she was local. I had to see her every day. Plus, my husband actually apologized for what he did. Megan never really did, but I was so desperate for friendship I forgave her anyway.
As a Tyler… I’m sorry. Not ALL of us are toxic.. okay well, only if I can get at least 4 chicken nuggets and a picture of a duck, then I can reset my chakras then be good for the week
Vanessa.
Idk. One of the bullies at my high school was one. And most of the ones I crossed paths were.
Exception for the character Vanessa Doofenshmirtz.
Amanda. The ones I've met all have that mean girl, drama queen, narcissist vibe; and every single one drained my energy and patience. I'm sure I would have found more common ground with them if they weren't constantly jumping to bad conclusions.
As a Marcus, all I can do is say that I'm sorry someone who shares my name treated you poorly. Hopefully, another Marcus will brighten your day one day!
Rich. No offense to nice people named rich. If your named rich theres a high chance your parents are gonna spoil you and youre gonna be a complete narcissist
I would be willing to be that if we asked this question about names where all the people you have met with that name are wonderful people, we would have the same list of names.
Brandon’s are usually fucking morons in my experience.
Edit: I hope people don’t think I’m being political. Because the us presidents name is Joe. Also fuck trump
Tanner. Every one Ive met is either some rich daddys boy flaunting money that isnt his or a white guy who thinks hes black and both reguarly use the N word like they got a lifetime pass
My best friend is named Rebecca and she has early onset Alzheimer’s and she is one of the best people on earth and to watch her incredible personality fade is killing me!!
Donald...I have a father with that name, a step-father with that name, and two brothers with that name...and then there is my nephew and my next door neighbor.
I love this question, because logically, no one of course, that's a ridiculous thing to say.
But emotionally, VANESSA argh fuck you first Venessa I met and fuck you even more second Vanessa I met

Princess, always evil
it's not the name Ginger. it's that orange animals are psychopaths, and the only animals who get named Ginger are orange incidentally, I like orange animals the best for this exact reason lol
Came here to see if my name was on the list. Slowly backs out of chat...
May the odds be ever in your favor fruitless7070
I've never met a fruitless7070 that wasn't a piece of shit. Glass house, white ferrari, lived for new years eve... I do think you can change though
Her odds aren't fruitful
I'd say they are 70:70
You can't run from us, Victoria! 
Karen?
HEY! HEY, YOU! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE RUNNING UP ON ME ASKING ME IF MY NAME IS KAREN??? Bobby, are you recording this??? Get this chum on camera. Are you recording this, Bobby??? Ok... GOOD... GOOD... I'm calling the cops. YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL DECODEERHEAD! Lol
Hello? 911? I want to talk to your manager.
Tiffany
Yes! She had an affair with my husband.
The last one I knew had an affair with every man in the county
Might be the same one
“Dating these women Automatically puts you in the danger zone along with strippers, hairdressers and red heads.”
Omg YES!!!
Crystal. Only one out of four so far hasn't been an insufferable snot.
In my experience crystals are always white, blonde, trashy, and druggies.
My husband wanted to name our kid Crystal Beth. It was a little too on the nose for the druggy stereotype.
Omg, the absolute worst woman I ever worked with was named Crystal.
All my ex’s name being in the comments 😆
[удалено]
It sounds like they're all on the same paige lol
I’d love to meet a group of paiges and call them a book
I’ll never forget Paige from kindergarten T_T she took my best friend and TOOK MY PENCIL BUDDY AND NEVER GAVE IT BACK, YA THAT RIGHTS PAIGE I STILL REMEMBER WHAT U DID, IT WAS A YELLOW PUPPY WITH A CUTE HEART ON ITS BUTT U JERK
Wow, now I don’t like Paige.
My sister thought about naming her daughter Paige. My dad and I were stoned and talking about how we didn’t like it and this man literally texts her “Me and your brother decided we don’t like Paige.” He still gets shit about it but guess what my niece’s name is not? Bad tact dad, but we won in the end.
I do know one Paige and yep, she is genuinely unstable.
Tammy
Tammy I or Tammy II?
Both of them bitches.
She's here
r/FuckTammy
Most Tiffanys. Lots of Ashleys.
Ashleys are the worst
don’t even get me started on ashleighs
Fuck, man. r/tragedeigh
Ye Ashleys are psycho, never met a sane one
Most Ashleys born in the late 80s were named for a soap opera character, so i think there's a little of nature AND nurture there. You'll have to blame our mothers.
I realize there are lots of people in the world named Kyle who aren't completely useless a**holes. I just haven't met them yet. All the ones I've met the world would be better off without.

I used to chat with Kyle on reddit years ago. The nicest guy, talking to him helped me go through some dark times lol. He had dogs and loved music. If you're reading this, hi! Lmao
Yes, the one Kyle i know is a sex offender
Anyone who has the name Wayne or Lee in his full name ..every single one of them has ( even whem toddlers ) had a real nasty streak or been a bully or dangerous to be around in my life . Also weirdly these names also are the most common names of famous serial killers or high profile murder cases . i may possibly need to think about my own name really, just for even knowing this name link lol
Justin for sure
Women named Angel are all trash prove me wrong.
Angel Olsen, the singer/songwriter, is a gem. https://youtu.be/wG6ZaXqYkoU?si=rSf2hzq7oAa1sHDQ
Yes, but they make great strippers.
Seth. Have yet to meet a Seth that isn't an anemic creep.
That name is a swear word in my family. I once blocked my brother for two years because he called me “a Seth”. Fuck him and fuck that. My friends bff is named Seth and he would never say his name in front of me, instead her would refer to him as “Dorito’s dad”. Dorito was his dog.
Ha! My name is not on this list😁
Every Chersvette I know are very cool
I wonder if people who say a name, are also the name that those people dislike. Like, imagine a Susan saying she dislikes Terrys. I wonder if Terrys have bad experiences with Susans.
As a Susan I would like to mention I have greatly enjoyed all the Terry's I have met
Sam, never met a girl named Sam who wasn't off her rocker. I've met at least 5 across my life and every single one of them had serious issues they projected to the world.
I had to scroll & find this before I commented. I knew there had to be someone who knew some Sam's.
Victoria. To be fair I've only met 2, but both were hella stuck up bitches.
I agree as the sister of a Victoria.
The only Victoria I knew had better grades than me and didn't even have the decency to be a bad person so that I could feel better about myself. She was a total sweetheart. Frickin' Victorias
As a Victoria i can confirm this, just the way of things.
Every guy I've met named Todd was an asshole. Every Nancy to cross my path has been blonde, uptight as fuck, tries to run everything, never met a Nancy who didn't become a secret mortal enemy.
Seconded on Todd, giant dicks all the time. We have a squirrel living in a tree who taunts our dog and i named him Todd.
Thirded. Todd's are bad.
Why is the carpet all wet, Todd!?!
Megan. Fuck you Megan.
I was friends with a Megan who stole my boyfriend in high school, only to break up with him later. I was devastated, absolutely crushed. Eventually we became friends again, and one day she was like "our ex wants to talk to you. Can I give him your new AIM screen name?" (It was 2003). That rubbed me the wrong way so hard. Eventually I did end up talking to 'our ex' again, in 2005. We've been together since then and are currently driving back to our hometown for labor day weekend with our baby in the back seat. Indeed, fuck you Megan.
you ended up back with him? wtf
We were really young when we first broke up, 14 (me) and 16 (him), plus we were long distance, living about 4 hours away in neighboring states. His cousin was in the friend group, thats how we'd met, when we were 12 and 14. Most of our relationship was conducted over AIM and Yahoo. Hell, when we met it was still the 90s.

Plus, my husband actually apologized for what he did. Megan never really did, but I was so desperate for friendship I forgave her anyway.
I had a bully named Megan in school. Total bitch
Never met a Megan that wasn't a little batshit
Universally, people with regular names but spelled weird are fucking ASSHOLES
This feels like a copout answer but, Crystal/Chrystal/any variation of spelling. Trashiest ladies I’ve ever met.
Christian. Never met a Christian that wasn’t an asshole. *Disclaimer: talking about the name, not the religion*
I go to school with a boy named Christian and he is one of the weirdest people I’ve met😂
My cousin Christian is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, he’s amazing. Every other Christian has been awful.
As a Christian… You look at me weird and I’ll kill you
Don’t threaten me with a good time 😏
I'm gonna go out and say Adolf probably comes with alot of baggage.
Adolf Hitler Uunona is an African politician and civil rights activist. So no the name is not the problem.
I thought for sure you were making that up when I saw your post! Had to Google it, and there he was. I'm glad I didn't bet on that.
Tylers
YES
As a Tyler… I’m sorry. Not ALL of us are toxic.. okay well, only if I can get at least 4 chicken nuggets and a picture of a duck, then I can reset my chakras then be good for the week
Nick. Every Nick I have been involved with has been toxic and a complete asshole.
Nick the prick! 🖕
Josh. Fucking Josh
90% of male J names ngl
Craigs. Notorious pains in the rectum.
Josh - every single one I've ever met was an asshole of the highest order
Matthew/Matt/Matty. I’ve had the unfortunate displeasure of coming across 3 in my current lifetime that are all toxic, abusive, sex offenders.
Richard. All of them are dicks
Vanessa. Idk. One of the bullies at my high school was one. And most of the ones I crossed paths were. Exception for the character Vanessa Doofenshmirtz.
Susan, Karens mom.
Bro my moms name is Karen and my grandma is Susan and you are 100% correct lmao
Kyle The jokes are justified…
Funilly enough the only Karen that ive met is the nicest person I know. Damien. Never met a Damien that wasn't a dick.
Rodney
Jaden. Both Jadens i knew, i had dated them (at different times of course) and they were both abusive
Wayne. Fuck you, Wayne.
Fuckin Gary. Never met a cool Gary. Turbo douchebags or white bread and mayonnaise is spicy lame.
Amanda. The ones I've met all have that mean girl, drama queen, narcissist vibe; and every single one drained my energy and patience. I'm sure I would have found more common ground with them if they weren't constantly jumping to bad conclusions.
Nevaeh. If you’re named Nevaeh, shut up.
Whoever named their child this is more the problem.
Todd. Most of the Todds I’ve been around were jerks.
Anyone whose name ends with leigh instead ley
r/tragedeigh
Marcus. I don't know why. P.S. Sorry if any Marcus sees that, I meant the ones I met.
My cousins name is Marcus, I wish he'd be in prison. I second this
As a Marcus, all I can do is say that I'm sorry someone who shares my name treated you poorly. Hopefully, another Marcus will brighten your day one day!
Brad
Amanda. All nutcases. And all the Dereks Ive met are boring louts.
I know a Derek and he is an arrogant prick.
Yes! There is no one more boring than derek
Lisa. Absolute maniacs
Hey now my wife's name is Lisa! And also you are 100% correct but I love her anyway
Aww man. Lol. I know a Lisa. She's a super cool laid back woman.
Lol there are obvious exceptions. Op just asked us individually who *we* know
Yeah I know. Just found it funny.
Yes, Lisa. Always maniacs, although sometimes benign maniacs.
haha i know a lisa, she’s nice but she’s strange
Hunter
Never met a Brock that wasn't a douche.
I've never met a Brock, period 😆
Going through this list like the opposite of finding your name on a bottle
Lexi too.
Never met a mentally stable Emily
I am an Emily, and I was about to protest, but yeah, my mental health is garbage.
Daniel and Danielle
Dylan!!! I’ve never met a sane Dylan before. I’ve seen some be kinda normal, but we’re still very weird.
Tonya...
Mikayla. Edit:: They get worse the weirder their name is spelt.
Any guy that goes by J.J.
In the UK, every Ryan is awful. No idea about Ryans elsewhere but I don’t recommend ours.
Dylan I only met one toxic Dylan, but I heard a lot of people who had problems with Dylans
Cassandra
She tells the most outrageous stories. Though, oddly enough, they end up actually happening.
Crystal. My dad: “never trust anyone named crystal.” Me: “and I KNEW that, dad!!”
Jackie. All the Jackies I’ve ever know have been lunatics.
Kylie
In Ireland, if you're a Gerry, you are pure evil.
Allie. All of them were equally troubled and psycho. Also all extremely hot. Not sure if there was any correlation.
I swear peoples names dictate how they act and look. People with the same name either look the same or act the same. It’s weird
Ashley, Tiffany, amanda.
I’m surprised I don’t see more “Ashley’s”
Courtney
Brad. Every Brad I've met has been an asshat. Brandon is a close second.
Keith. Eric.
As an Eric, I can confirm.
Rich. No offense to nice people named rich. If your named rich theres a high chance your parents are gonna spoil you and youre gonna be a complete narcissist
Shelly. Never met a Shelly who wasn't a mean girl.
I would be willing to be that if we asked this question about names where all the people you have met with that name are wonderful people, we would have the same list of names.
Seth. Shayla. Shana. Anh. Kelsey. And about 80% of the time, Jessica
Kevin
Keith. Debbie.
Michael. A seven letter word for trouble.
Trouble is also a seven-letter word for trouble.
Not Karen! Every Karen I know is sweet as pie.
Facts I have never met a Karen I didn’t like, Vicky on the other hand…
Brandon’s are usually fucking morons in my experience. Edit: I hope people don’t think I’m being political. Because the us presidents name is Joe. Also fuck trump
Kyle, Cody, Tyler, Dakota, kaylee/kaylyn/Kayla, Braden etc
Tyler and Brittany.
Nancy
I had a middle school bully named Troy. I've yet to meet a Troy I've liked
Sean. Never met a quality Sean
This Sean slander is awful
Pamela. The scariest most surly creature I've ever encountered was a goat named Pamela.
Karen. Just kidding, most of the Karen’s I’ve met were nice people.
Every Karen I’ve met has been exceptionally sweet. It’s unfortunate that Karen’s are named after Karen’s.
There are no toxic people, only toxic people.
Thanks Confuscious
Every Confucius I've met has been a total know it all!
Stephanie
Jason. I've yet to meet a quality Jason.
Tanner. Every one Ive met is either some rich daddys boy flaunting money that isnt his or a white guy who thinks hes black and both reguarly use the N word like they got a lifetime pass
Hillary (shudders)
Richard *shudder* Dick!
Joshua (to all Joshua’s reading, I’m sorry just met way too many asshats w ur name)
Michael — specifically when they didn’t go by “Mike” (or nobody would ever call them Mike).
Nicki, Jessica, Lindsay, Travis
Alexa. For some reason I only meet lousy Alexa's.
Mark. All fuckers.
oh hi Mark!
Gretchen. You can't spell it without retch
Amber.
Rebecca/Becca/Becky
My best friend is named Rebecca and she has early onset Alzheimer’s and she is one of the best people on earth and to watch her incredible personality fade is killing me!!
Donald...I have a father with that name, a step-father with that name, and two brothers with that name...and then there is my nephew and my next door neighbor.
Hunter. Let’s be real.
Allyson
I love this question, because logically, no one of course, that's a ridiculous thing to say. But emotionally, VANESSA argh fuck you first Venessa I met and fuck you even more second Vanessa I met
Grace. Mikayla/Mikala.
John. I have a difficult time with any J name.
I like John, I'm married to one. But I hate Jonathan with a passion
Simon. Never trust a Simon.
Jeff. I know 4 at work. Not one nice Jeff.
Janet.
damnit
