HelpRe: Girls' names I don't care for.
in reply to a message by Caroline
Amber: Always liked this name.
Ariana: It's pretty.
Ashley / Ashlyn: Love Ashley, and Ashlyn is okay.
Alyssa: Nice.
Andrea: Very nice, can be any age from six months to sixty.
Avery: McMansion name.
Aubrey: As clunky and plodding as Audrey, but given by people who think it's fresh.
Aria / Ariel: Aria seems overblown. Never liked Ariel.
Alexis: The only Alex girls' name I can honestly say I like. Alexa is too snotty, Alex is too cliche tomboy, and Alexandra is too pompous.
Bella: Dog name.
Brianna / Bree / Brielle: I like Brianna a lot. Bree is not really doing it, and Brielle makes me think of some kind of puffy bread roll.
Brynn / Brinley / Briley, etc. More McMansion names.
Brandy: Dog name now, very dated.
Brittany: Like it. Prefer Brittney.
Brooklyn: Blah. People in Brooklyn don't name their kids this. Brooke is fine.
Chloe: Gross wet nose-blowing.
Crystal: Very pretty.
Chelsea: I just picture this mouthy little girl obsessed with soccer.
Delaney: Weak and whiny McMansion name because the parents are so Irish.
Elise: Does nothing for me.
Heather: Cute.
Hannah: Like I said: runny oatmeal with nonfat nondairy creamer and no sugar in it.
Hailey: Like it, probably prefer Hayley.
Harper: Hideously ugly.
Jade: Tacky.
Kelly / Kelsey / Kayley / Keeley / Kaylen / Kaitlyn / Kayla / Kinsley, etc. I like Kayla a lot, and I think Kaitlyn is at least more interesting that the bland, safe Katherine, but the others are pretty bland. Kelly is also fairly dated.
Kristin: Never liked it. Christina/Kristina is a favorite.
Kimberly: Like Andrea, it's becoming a classic.
Luna: Tiresome hipster/hippie-wannabe name.
Lila: It's better than Lily but not as good as Layla. / Lilah
Mia: A cat demanding to be let out.
Melissa: Very pretty.
Madison: The original McMansion name.
Nicole: Never liked it.
Peyton: Madison's daughter.
Paige: Nice.
Rhiannon: Ugly, and it sounds like diarrhea medicine.
Riley: What is the attraction of this pasty-ass name?
Reagan: Ugly sound, ugly look.
Rose: Very pretty.
Savannah: Stylish and pretty.
Taylor: No, maybe this is the original McMansion name, and unlike Madison there's quite a few boys named Taylor too, another strike against it.
Ariana: It's pretty.
Ashley / Ashlyn: Love Ashley, and Ashlyn is okay.
Alyssa: Nice.
