Ugh, I cannot STAND Jasper. It sounds like a little pansy of a boy who's absolutely useless when it comes to anything except lab reports. Not that lab reports aren't worthy. I just cannot stand that name. Blech. Sorry, Pink Princess! :( :(

Other names I hate that other people seem to like: Frances, Eleanor (yuck, sorry, frumpy and too popular now), Abel, Alfred, Albert, Maud / Maude (SO gross, I don't get it), Ellen, Edith, and Charles.

I love a lot of names that it seems like everyone hates here. There seems to be a Hebrew name dislike on the board outside of names like Zipporah, Miriam, and the like. Chaya is one of my favorite names of all time, but I don't remember a lot of people liking it here. Keturah is another one I like, but I think guru is the only other person on this board that likes it. You've got stuff like Livna, Shulamit, Yarden, Malka, etc. that everyone just loathes, apparently. :(

Other names I love that others don't: Kylie, Twila, Akiva (boy), Gretchen, Tenley (after Tenley Albright), Stephanie, Nicole, Brittany (I think it's safe to say I'm the only person here that likes Brittany), Jessica, Jennifer, Jenna, Ingrid (I ADORE Ingrid and don't get why no one else does!), Jamesina, Adamina, Paige, Shaina, Elspeth, Roxanne, Joel, Jesse (boy), and a whole pile of Russian names that get sh*t reviews, Olga leading the pack.

FWIW, I'm not a fan of Alma either. I don't understand its appeal at all. It's blah and boring on top of being dated and frumpy. I can't side with you on Charlotte, though. Love that name.
