HelpNames you hate
Inspired by one of the questions in the lounge (although I know there have been similiar threads in the past), what are some of the names you hate? I can't think of any of the top of my head which is why I'm asking. Until a name comes up (and I remember I hate it), I don't actively have names that I hate.
So what are some names that you just loathe?

I wonder if I can find the post from the Lounge in which I really cursed out RoxStar. I lost my temper with her. It was worse than anything you and I said to each other. No, I take that back, it was way worse than anything I said to you, but about on a par with what you said to me. RoxStar didn't reply, because she's totally cool that way. It happened about two years ago---if I feel like looking for it, and if I find it, I'll PM you the link, but I'm not making any promises. And now RoxStar and I are rather chummy. Moral: We tend to let bygones be bygones here. It's a mark of maturity.
Of your list, I love or like:
Victoria nn Torrie
Ruby
Veronica
Rebecca
Tamsin
Tatiana
Amanda
Brenda
Brenna
Bronwen
Sarah
Deborah
Jessica
Julia
Lucy
Pamela
Samantha
Melanie
Vanessa
Hazel
Pearl
Mabel
It is a huge list. It contains the names of no fewer than eight of my immediate family members!

I could write TONS of names I don't care for...
Addison - sounds like "add a son".
Ann - this has to be the most BORING name ever. Even Anna or Anne are better.
Ashley - sounds like "ashtray" and is also very close to the Swedish word for a**
Attracta - "a tractor".
Bambi - tacky.
Bertha - so darn ugly.
Brandee/ Brandy - tacky. Rhymes with something nasty.
Brenda - simply unattractive.
Camilla - for personal reasons.
Carson - on both girls and boys. Sounds like s/he was born in a car.
Chavonne/ Shavonne - butchering of an otherwise rather nice name.
Cricket - like being named Bug.
Crystal/ Krystle - sounds like an old woman with blue hair and a little pink poodle.
Destinee/ Destiny - simply tacky.
Erin - one of those names that sound like throwing up.
Heather - I don't like the "th" sound, plus at least in Sweden it's said that if you have heather in your house, someone will die. And it sounds like "heathen".
Heaven/ Heavenleigh - *puke*
Jerusha - sounds like sneezing. And means "property". Who wants to be someone's property?
Jessica - wheezy, hissing brat name.
Jordan - don't like it for men either, but on a girl it's so harsh...
Kendall - "Ken doll".
Krysta - that's what they shout to ladies in Sweden who give birth. It's like "Push! Push!"
Lana - read it backwards.
Lynn - so boring and unattractive.
Addison - sounds like "add a son".
Ann - this has to be the most BORING name ever. Even Anna or Anne are better.
Ashley - sounds like "ashtray" and is also very close to the Swedish word for a**
Attracta - "a tractor".

Surnames as first names unless they are honouring relatives
Occupation surnames on girls doubly so - especially the very ugly Sawyer
Male-derived names on girls really irritate me - Madison Maddison Emerson Addison
Cheryl and such tacky meaningless pap (the school sneak was Cheryl Marilyn - she was a snob to boot so it is rather ironic that she had such a downmarket name)
Agatha (hag-like)
Agnes
Beatrice ("beat rice")
Bertha
Daisy - soppy, infantile
Emmeline - frumpy
Ena
Ethel
Euphemia
Freda
Hermione
Hilda
Huldah
Jennifer - so overused and I can't fathom why
Linda
Mallory - horrible meaning
Martha - plain and frumpy, awful sound
Noa - can't understand its popularity on here
Poppy
Sheila
Shelagh
Skyler
Sloane
Una and Oona/Oonagh
Bradley
Brett ("brat")
Brian
Brock - was in "The Young and the Restless" - horrible soap name
Cricket ditto
Keith

There are some I hate, and some I really don't care for but are very annoyed by.
Hate:
Jayden (made up garbage, but also ugly and unintellectual. Might be in my bottom 5)
Kaylin (also made up garbage, how it has a 74% approval rating but Elijah only has 63% is beyond me)
Kaylee/Kayla (same as Jayden)
Kyler (I pity those whose bestow it on their child)
Skyler (same as Kyler, but I hate it slightly more)
Jaxson / Jaxon (I don't like Jackson at all, but these are just criminal)
Narges (Ugly)
Magomed (ugly and sounds vaguely like "maggots")
Boulos (Ugly, but better than the ones I listed before)
Lyric (Not to be a dick, but only a brain dead spazmo would name their child this)
Genesis (embarrassingly bad)
Mikayla (ugly spelling, but Michaela is tolerable)
Harper
Abigail (not as bad as the ones listed before, but still hideous)
Morgan for a girl (Hideous, Jordan is better)
Sadie (Sadist)
Concepcion (self explaining)
Pamela
Aria (stupid)
Nevaeh
Faith (it's just a word for me, Grace is better)
Melody
Julian (limp and pompous)
Harry
I really don't care for:
Layla (I'm Arab and I don't get the appeal, It just sounds infantile and informal to me)

Thing is a lot of people like or love Matthew. A lot. Check out its popularity statistics. The people who frequent this board are a small group, very small contrasted with the general public. The general public loves Matthew. And the people who do frequent this board are "name-nerds" for the most part, and in many ways for most of us, our taste contrasts with that of the general public.
BTW, I hate Matthew, lol. It's because of the THYOO ending.

Ok, here goes:
Darby - This sounds more appropriate as an insult than a name. The nickname Dar doesn't make it any better and brings "der?" to mind.
Stephanie - DH loves this name and I can't bring myself to say it most days. Studying diseases has made me think of staph infections every time I hear it.
Denice - d'niece....
Krystle - Crystals are a thing, krystals are not. The spelling just makes my skin crawl.
Imogen - pms medication.
Allyson, Alyson, Aleson - It's Allison folks, and that isn't even the prettiest.
Stuart - SNL Stuart skits are all I think of... and the nickname Stu is terrible. Stu, Stew, Stool, stoolatetopologize...
Penn - trying too hard, and "excuse me, do you have a pen?"
Juan - wan. It just does not strike me as a name. So common, I know. But your name is WAN? Juanita is exempt, as she is far more complete.
Ed - only for the nickname Ed... it's so clunky. I want to like it sooo bad, since this is my brother's name and I love him dearly. I just cannot stand Ed. . . and therefore all Ed-names sound grating. Still looking for something palatable to use IRL.
Hugh and Eugene - Hugh is incomplete and rhymes with Hugh and I hate names that make people turn around for no reason (says Heidi, aka Hi, Di!). You-gene, same issue for me.
Dwayne and Bruce - They just scream "nose-pickin'-big-wheel-truckin-down-home-lovin'" to me. I know some nice ones, and I am sure they would appreciate a better name too.

Francis/Frances, Virginia and Damien are my most disliked names. I can't say why really for Frances but I wouldn't like the word virgin in my name (Virginia) and Damien sounds like demon to me (also Damon). Those are the ones I really really loathe. Though I think I already posted that in the Lounge. Some other's I'm not a fan of because they are so tired:
Joshua
Daniel
Matthew
Samuel
Jordan
Jayden
Jessica
Hannah
Other names I don't like (but don't hate with a passion):
Christian- this is a religion, not a name.
Anthony
Isabella
- anythig that ends in bella (thanks Twilight for ruining that one.

Christian - I agree! Though, I feel bad admitting is, since it is my brother's name.
But his case is probablay why... he is so anti-religious that it's rather ironic that his name is Christian Daniel (and my mother was not a Christian when she named him, either). It's seems like such a specific statement.
Hannah I actually really like (though I prefer Hanna), but it's far too popular.
I agree with Virginia too.

These are names I hate* seeing on real people, because they bore me:
Matthew
Steven, Steve
Ryan
Mike, Michael
Thomas
Christopher
David, Dave
Brandon, Brendan, Brad
Chad
Keith
Tim
Jeremy
Joshua
Kyle
Jason
Brian
Ian
Kevin
Nicole
Brenda
Elizabeth
Hailey
Sarah
Andrea
Jenna
Caitlyn et al
Hannah
Ashley
Brittany
Danielle
Kristen, Christine
Lindsey
Allison
Natalie
Brandy
Leslie
*Hate is too strong though really, for what I feel. It's more like "deep disappointment". I don't know if I've even actually HATED a name. Like kill-it-with-fire hate. Except the nickname I used to get as a kid - Krissie. What a stupid, ugly name. Chrissie and Chrissy at least have a sort of "hilariously dumb sexpot" charm to them. Krissie is awful.

You mean on children I assume?
Otherwise, you may have just named the entire generation X. ;)
I have a hard time thinking of kids I went to school with who didn't have the names listed, ha!
But, I consider most unusable for a newborn today... saving Jenna which I think is so simple it is sweet.

I'll do one for each sex and each letter, leaving out the kind of names that are either one-shot deals (once ran across a girl named ShaChronic, which is terrible but highly unlikely to be repeated) and names that are mainly just historical, like Pliny or Sappho.
Girls:
Annie: picture some bedraggled, barefoot, stringy-haired Okie in a limp calico dress who just wants to go to the big city and ride in a taxi cab.
Bailey: Everybody and their brother has a dog named Bailey.
Chelsea: I picture some ten-year-old girl with a huge mouth, both literally and figuratively, hair cut shorter than most boys wear theirs, always smelling sweaty, always winning gold stars in school but nobody likes her because she's so damn pushy and obnoxious.
Darlene: Was homecoming attendant in 1965 and has never gotten over it.
Emma: A mumble of a name.
Frances: What is the appeal of this name?
Gabrielle: If I could just get past the ugly gab sound ...
Hannah: Organic oatmeal served with no sweetener and a dash of skim milk. Perfectly healthy but totally tasteless.
Isabella: A big fat overstuffed couch or a woman who looks like one, all ruffled and lacy and out of place in any room.
Jane: It's called Plain Jane for a reason.
Katie: Simpering little girl (of any age) with fat pink chipmunk cheeks and a silly giggle even when nothing at all is funny.
Lucy: Put your shoes on Lucy, dah-dah-dah, put your shoes on Lucy, cause you know you're in the city, put your shoes on Lucy, you're a big girl now. I was very surprised that people around here knew this old song, I thought it was an Okie thing.
Miriam: Annoying, weak, limp, spineless hipster favorite that all the hipsters get upset when they find out it isn't as rare as they wish.
Nikki: This sounds like the ultimate Playmate name, but if I recall there actually haven't been any Playmates with the name, or at least only one or two in 60 years.
Olive: Good in a salad, awful on a person. What people who are terrified of meeting another Olivia think is a good substitute.

I'm not sure I have recently expressed my appreciation of you. I love that there is room for you and for snark-tastic attitude on this board. I seek out your responses because they brighten my day with their brazen and fiery frankness. Go figure. :)

aw shucks, ma'am, it weren't nothin'

I couldn't agree more.

How much I enjoyed reading this! :)

I agree with you on all of these except Frances (I cant help but like it) and Lucy. I like Quinn as well, but not enough to defend it because what you wrote is true. I like it for a middle name. I agree with everything from your boys list too, except Oliver. I have a special love for Oliver. But I really hate Norman and Phineas now that I'm looking at them.
