I agree! I also think John is terribly boring, even though it's not a bad name at all. Same with Mary. I don't even mind them, I just think it's funny when people think they're stylish for coming up with them. A family friend named her daughter Mary recently and thought she was being very stylish and daring which I just found odd. Nothing wrong with Mary at all but you're not stylish for using the most popular girls name of all time that is just barely out of the top 100 and still in the top 30 in some states.
Again, they're decent names, just way overused. I don't like the -bert ending either nor do I like Bob or Bobby but I kind of like the full name and the nickname Rob. I love James. I don't mind David and Michael. They sound nice but they're overused. I just can't stand Dave and Mike.
Never understood Jacob either. I guess Jake is attractive. But Jacob? Nope. I guess it's the same as with Abigail. People want a Jake and an Abby so they use Jacob and Abigail. I actually don't know anyone with these names who was ever called by their full name.
