Re: Names you hate
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)
HarryI really don't care for:Layla (I'm Arab and I don't get the appeal, It just sounds infantile and informal to me)
Micah (Michael is better)
Marcus (Mark is better)
Robert (dull, and I don't like the "-bert" part)
Matthew (Matthias is better)
Muhammad (very, very dull, but good as a middle name)
Katherine
Daniel (don't get the appeal, but not a bad name)

I am honestly surprised by all the Matthew hate! It's not a favorite of mine by any means, I just didn't realize how many people hated it. I definitely agree on Micah though, I loathe Micah. On both girls and boys.

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.
