We haven't done this in a while. Are there any names you like that don't get a positive response from people in real life? Are there any names that are mostly hated on BtN that you happen to like? What are they?
One of my favorite names of all time is Claudia, but people I know IRL never seem to like it. All they hear is "claude", and it really bothers them. Other names real life people dislike: Kirstin (too masculine sounding, according to my brother), Charlotte (dowdy), Frederick, NN Freddy (stupid), Edward, NN Eddie (also stupid, and old-fashioned), Sinead (too tied to the singer), and Leigh (plain, boring).
BtN hated names that I happen to like: Madison, NN Maddie (I know it's popular, I know it ends in SON, but I don't care, I love it), Mackenzie for a girl (I think it's cute), Riley for a girl (I think it's a sunny sort of name), Sunshine, NN Sunny for a girl, Liam (I don't know if this is *hated*, but I know people say it should be short for William), and Jack (again, not hated, but I've heard people say it's very plain). How 'bout you?
