My pet peeve is the Finnish name “Yrjö”. It comes from the Greek name “Geôrgios”, which means farmer, but nowadays the word “yrjö” means vomit. ‘Unique spellings’ like some “Everleigh” also drive me crazy.

    I don’t know if I really hate a name, but everyone I have ever met named Becky has been mean right from the instant I meet them.

    I have no beef with the Rebas, Rebeccas, Rebekahs, and Beccas of the world. Just Becky.
