Members frequentsoapfan Posted January 2, 2015 Members Share Posted January 2, 2015 People always say soaps give their characters dramatic names but I feel like from the 90s through the 2000s they've given the kids some bland and ordinary names. Which soap characters have had the worst names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRfan23 Posted January 2, 2015 Members Share Posted January 2, 2015 I feel like they overdue it a lot with the mother's maiden name,as the child's first name. Summer Newman Fenmore Baldwin Just to name a few.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted January 2, 2015 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2015 I'd include Reed as well. I really don't like that he got Nikki's maiden name. Especially since Nicholas Reed was an abusive a-hole Matilda is among the worst for me. I don't like Lila or Georgie as names either. They didnt need to repeat those names on GH.

Members edgeofnik Posted January 2, 2015 Members Share Posted January 2, 2015 Reed is just a bad name - plus the history behind it. Summer I can live with because it's always worked with the character. Fenmore - absolutely not. Thank goodness Lily didn't name her daughter "Winter." Fortunately B&B did a better job with names for the next generation than the terrible 1980s naming of Ridge, Thorne, Brooke, Storm, etc. Much better with Steffy, Thomas, Phoebe, Alexandra, Bridget, Rick and Hope. And I'm fine with all third "Bill" on B&B (Will). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted January 2, 2015 Members Share Posted January 2, 2015 Not to offend anyone with those names,but I can't understand why Bill Bell gave two major young characters old fashioned names like Phyllis and Sharon. Similarly on Days we have Theresa and Bev for young characters. Also,I have never found the surname Horton to be particularly appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted January 2, 2015 Members Share Posted January 2, 2015 Lopez-Fitzgerald has to be the worst name ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted January 2, 2015 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2015 Its tradition for many hispanics to have the mother's maiden name in addition to the father's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted January 2, 2015 Members Share Posted January 2, 2015 So did they need to pick one with so many syllables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted January 2, 2015 Members Share Posted January 2, 2015 I would have preferred Winter to Matilda. Matilda! NO! I'd take Drucilla first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beebs Posted January 2, 2015 Members Share Posted January 2, 2015 SB had a bad habit of giving some deplorable names to their characters. I mean...Brick? Seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Markjeh Posted January 2, 2015 Members Share Posted January 2, 2015 Cutter (Wentworth) from OLTL is probably on top of my list. Cutter is such an awful name. Ron was probably trying to be edgy Also Faith (ATWT), Destiny (OLTL) and Hope (B&. I hate these kind of names. Lol, I love B&B for doing that. It might seem uninspired but at least it feels a bit realistic. We have Bill and sons Liam (which is probably short for William?) and Will . Also like how they re-used the name Caroline for the niece of the old Caroline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
