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.

On adults too! I'm always underwhelmed when I meet yet another thirtysomething Kristen, Ryan, or Mike.
