Reply to: Names Your Family Members Hate by Billina
With my family, it's mostly those ghetto names such as Shaniqua, LaToya, Jamar, Antwan, etc. that a lot of black people were using back when I was little.

Others:

Tina: My mother thinks it's a redneck name. So do I.

Frank: My older sister's husband thinks only fat old men should have this name, but my younger sister is friends with two young guys named Frank, so she tried to convince him otherwise.

Aurelia: I have a cousin who thinks it's snobbish on the sole basis that it is an anicent Roman name.

Jacqueline: My sister wanted to use it, but my maternal grandmother hates it because she always hated Jackie Kennedy. (She has her reasons to hate JFK's wife, so it's not like it's random.)
