THERE'S a lot of pressure on parents to pick the perfect name for their newborn.<\/p>\n

That's why some expecting parents opt to get help from professional name consultants like Steph Coffield.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

But despite her positive attitude towards most names, there are some even she doesn't like.<\/p>\n

Posting on TikTok the name expert shared some of the picks she can't stand – and they're not as unusual as you might expect.<\/p>\n

According to Steph, Mary and John are some of the names she doesn't personally like.<\/p>\n

"I have to be careful because my father-in-law's name is John, my husband's name means John," she joked.<\/p>\n

In a previous video, she also explained why Mary isn't one she loves.<\/p>\n

"We all know Mary gotta be one of my least favourite classic names", she said.<\/p>\n

"I know great people named Mary, but the name is boring to me.<\/p>\n

"It has zero whimsy and if you've been following me for a while you know we love whimsy here".<\/p>\n

She gave the name Mary a harsh score of just 2 out of 10, adding that it is "just very forgettable and common".<\/p>\n

But it's not just the classic Mary and John she doesn't like, there are some more modern ones too.<\/p>\n

Names with unique spellings, like Jaxon, or Payton and Nevaeh are also not favourites for her.<\/p>\n

"Those are not my vibe," she quipped.<\/p>\n

She continued: "I also used to not like vintage-y names like Edith, Edgar, Florence and Felix."<\/p>\n

But despite not being keen on them for a long time, Steph admitted they've grown on her a lot and now she loves them.<\/p>\n

Steph explained that it sometimes takes her a while to warm up to some names.<\/p>\n

With more unique ones she might not hear very often, the pro said she needs to hear them again and again before she actually starts to like them.<\/p>\n

After sharing the names she doesn't like, Steph clarified: "Please don't be hurt, I love all names but of course I have ones that aren't my favourites!!"<\/p>\n

Some of the names Steph does love that are more classic include Elizabeth and Margaret, which said said are both stunning.<\/p>\n

But if you do want something a bit more modern, Steph also revealed more people are choosing one\u00a0name\u00a0pre-birth, which works for a girl or boy.<\/p>\n

She reckons parents will become "more adventurous" with their choices, and predicts Fisher, Huxley and\u00a0Ridley<\/span>\u00a0will be big in 2024.<\/p>\n

The mum-of-three said: "I'm seeing a lot of whimsical, gender neutral surnames being given as first names."<\/p>\n
