"People often spell it wrong. But your name would have to be Mary or Sue for people to get it right all the time. There are so many ways to spell most names. And don't forget the made up/combined names. I spell my name Courteney and pronounce it Cour teney

"my name is courtney and i've always hated it so much. it sounds kind of snooty and stuck-up, and people always make fun of me by saying that my name is too white. there aren't too many nicknames for it: some people call me court, which i hate, and the nickname i sometimes use is coco, but i still think it sounds stuck-up. i think most of my problems just come from my own self-hatred and people making fun of me, because whenever i meet another courtney i think the name is fine for them." Mar. 3, 2021:
"My name is Courtney and I've always hated it. It was common enough when I was growing up that there were always several other Courtneys in my grade, so it wasn't special or unique. Plus it just sounds ugly and harsh, despite having the feminine "ee" sound at the end. And even though I always introduce myself as Courtney, people ALWAYS start calling me "Court" eventually, which I can't stand. There are so many movies and TV shows where the annoying, stuck-up popular girl in names Courtney, and I hate that too because it gives a "mean girl" vibe to the name. Also, ever since the Kardashians have become popular, people have started misspelling it as "Kourtney." As if it could be any uglier, EW." Aug. 27, 2016:
"I get nervous if someone tells me their nameis Courtney. I think this name inspires a mean-girl vibe in girls. Every Courtney I've ever known has been underhanded at best or else just outright catty and mean." Aug. 21, 2009:
"I know this will sound nasty but i have never liked this name, said in an english accent, its the most common name on earth. it probably has a different image in the states. (UK)" Oct. 13, 2007:
"I don't like this name at all. It sounds horrible!" Mar. 9, 2007:

"My name is Courtney and I love it. I have never met anyone (yet) with the same name. When I was younger I used to hate it for some people used to make fun of the name. (COURT-KNEE) see those to words.
But now I love it, I always like to say the name in my head and it sounds great! Whenever my friends want me they call "Order In The Court!" Apr. 15, 2019:
"Mostly people know how to pronounce and spell Courtney sometimes people with accents will say ?Corny?. I?ve always liked my name but it is definitely only people my age named Courtney." Jan. 28, 2019:
"My first name is Courtney-Megan and my middle name is Nicole and I hated it when I was younger but now I'm older I don't really mind my name it's very uncommon where I live so a lot of people have difficulty spelling it but people think I'm a horrible person because my name gives off that vibe" Aug. 14, 2018:
"My name is Courtney, im 10. I dont mind being called "Court" but I'd rather be called Jade (My nick name) Im the shy quite type of person. I'd rather not stand in front of my class ands talk or repusent the school, as i get embarrest easily... :/" Jun. 5, 2018:

"My names Courtney and people always seem to be shocked when I tell them that. They say the assume girls with the name Courtney are the cheerleader type (no offence to cheerleaders) and stupid. I get straight A's and such, and dress in a more rocker style." Sep. 17, 2009:

"I am a man named Courtney born in 1976. I have a beard. I feel sorry for all those girls stuck with my man name. Darn feminists have tried to steal this masculine name, But I fight back inspite of all the "ummm can I see your I.D.", & "O, you go buy that?" Or "all i see is a courtney on the paperwork? is that your wife?" If I were a girl named Courtney I think i would go by my middle name." Jun. 9, 2009:
"I happen to love my name. It's Courtney Madeline - Madeline after my late great grandmother. My mum wanted use the middle name Olivia - but my last name starts with C and that wouldn't work too well. I got CC a bit of school and I didn't like that.

"haha courtney is my sister's name so shes my attendant cause my name is "the ruler" =D" Oct. 27, 2008:
"I was born in 1978, and have known tons of other female Courtneys. I went to high school with 5 of them - and I think all were cheerleaders. So I associate the name with flaky upbeat types, though that doesn't describe me at all. I've also known one male Courtney my age, and a handful of older black men named Courtney. I like it as a man's name. All of the women I've known named Courtney have been white, and most have been kind of silly/flaky. It's not a very serious name." Oct. 18, 2008:
"Hi! I am a Courtney & I have grown to love my name. My middle name is Nicole & when I was little I always wanted to be a Nicole because Courtney was NOT popular. I was in high shcool before I ever met another Courtney. I could never find any of those gift store pens, mugs, keychains, with my name on it & as a kid it wasn't fun. The weirdest spelling of my name by someone was Quartney...yep like a quart of milk!" Aug. 26, 2008:
"I'm a Courtney and people have told me they think it's pretty or that they don't associate me with the name because I'm nice and the rest of the Courtney's they've known are NOT. Encouraging, right? I like it because it's familiar but not common, although born in the 70's I see it's more of a rarity. I thought it was French meaning "born of the court"-- "court nee." I've only met about 20 Courtney's in my life, 3 of which have been guys." Jun. 27, 2008:
"My son is 13 we are from England and now live in the USA. He is called Courtney and there are no other boys here called Courtney." May. 12, 2008:

"My names is Courtney and I think its the best name ever! Few people spell my name wrong. Im part hawaiian and in hawaiian Courtney is Aina Ali`i pretty huh." Apr. 7, 2007:
"i think it is pretty, but i have a court. @ my school who is annoying!" Oct. 24, 2006:
"My name is always pronounced correctly, and although I think it is easy to spell, I often have to spell it out for others." Jan. 12, 2006:
"I love my name! I've only met one boy in kindergarden with the same name. That was a while ago, because now Im 15... People don't really miss-spell my name, except when I younger. Im surprised to find that my name was common the year I was born!" Jan. 7, 2006:
