HelpNames that you should theoretically like... but don't
What are some names that, logically, you should like, but don't? For example, I should probably like Sidney on a boy, since I'm a big fan of Ashley and Leslie and Simeon and Simon. But I really can't stand it.
Others:
Dislike Ariana, but love Tatiana, Mariana, and like Ariane.
Dislike Madeline, but love Magdalene and most -ine names like Severine, Sandrine, Amandine, and Leontine.
Dislike Wren, but love Lark, Dove, and Tess for girls and Ben, Lennox, and Wesley for boys.
Dislike Cashel but love Callum, Cormac, Cathal, and Ashley.
Dislike Roland but love Roman and Ronan for boys, Rowan for either sex, and Land by itself or as a nn for Alexandra for girls.
What are some of yours? Any theories on why you don't like them?

Ella - I like Eleanor / Elinor, Ellia, Elsa, Nell, Nella, and other similar names, but I don't care for Ella. It sounds bland to me.
Violet - I don't dislike it, but I don't love it. I love Iris and other similar names, but Violet doesn't catch my attention as much as other names. The celebrity baby name factor is part of why I don't like it more.
Imogen is a name that seems like would be one of my favorites since I like old-fashioned names that aren't very popular where I live, but it's the "im" sound that keeps me from liking it more.
Jasper - I like Asher, but I don't care for the sound of Jasper all that much.

I love Rosa, Roza, Rosalie, Rosalia, Rozalija, Rosetta, but dislike Rose, Rosalind, and Rosamund.
I like Renata for girls and Rene for boys, but I am not very fond of Renee.
Jonathan --I feel like this goes along with my really conservatively classic boys' names that I would actually use, but I never really got into it.
Valentine --I do love Valentin though.

When I consider my favorite names: Susannah, Louisa, Katherine, Eliza, Peter, William, James, Edward, it seems like I should love Sarah, Hannah, Michael, and Matthew, but I think these names are so PAINFULLY boring and common that they might as well not exist.
Things that also don't make sense:
I love Rebecca, but I can't stand Rachel.
I love Anna, but add some H to the front and back, and you get Hannah, and that is BORING.
I love utterly common names like Mary, Jane, and Anne, but again, Sarah is like nails on a chalk board.
I like old-fashioned short names Eve, Emily and Grace, yet I loathe Eva, Ava, and Ella.
I love Sylvia but hate Sophia.
I like queenly names like Elizabeth and (C)Katherine, but I despise Victoria.
..and for some reason I love Laurel and Lark but hate every other (non flower) nature name I can think of.
I can deal with Lily but Rose makes me nauseous.
I love Jack, but don't care for Jacob.
I love Charles and Thomas, but don't care overly much for the similar-in-style Andrew or Robert.
I love some biblical names like Samuel and Joshua, but Luke makes me sick.
