I'll do my best.
Not in any paticular order
Girls:
Celeste
Paisley
Lark
Madison
Gladys
Like to add: Horrible\obnoxious spellings such as the Eigh\Leigh spellings.
Boys:
Barnabas\Barnaby
Grayson\Greyson
Braxton
Jayden (including every name rhyming with it)
Of course this list extends much further. I tried to think of my top hated names or names I just generally don't care for or don't like.
I'm with you on Primrose & Isla

I like a lot of those, especially Hester. Different strokes, though.
Agreed. I've noticed that a lot of response include names I like too.
Off the top of my head, and in no particular order...
Lyra (so overrated, and it's not pretty at all. This is coming from someone who likes a lot of deliberately ugly names )
Arianna, Ariana (like a cheese grater to my ears)
Floella (phlegmy-snobby)
Phoebe (personal reasons)
Iris ("yes, Mrs Levinson")
Alfie (as a full name, and most nicknames as full names likewise, but this is particularly irritating. It's fine as an actual nickname.)
Cody (sounds creepy)
Beau (just a word)
Rafferty (doesn't really sound like a name)
Monty (naked men and Mr Burns)
The boys names were basically picked at random from the UK popularity names, so they proabbly don't 100% reflect on my actual opinion. One of these days I really should make a post of names I don't like.

Never heard of Floella. I think it sounds awful.
And from your list...
Primrose - Blech, twee to the point of no substance. And I never really liked the Hunger Games girl. Maybe for a cat, but preferably not for a human.
Abigail - Grown on me maybe 2%. I still don't like it, not a favourite, but it's okay.
Willa - Aww, why? It's sort of cute, though I'd never use it.
Isla - Pretty, but also cliche here.
Kai - I like this name because of The Snow Queen, even though he was kind of a jerk. It kind of loses its charm in an English-speaking context. And I get the impression that it's dated in Nordic countries. (correct me if I'm wrong?)
Rhys/Reese - Well, one of my favourite actors has this name, but I still don't like it.
Finn/Finley/Finlay - See Isla. But when I first heard this name, I thought it was a joke.
Tanner - Ewww...
Lucas/Lukas - Meh. Luke is preferable by far.

I knew a girl who named her son Hunter and called him Hunty all the time. It was one of the most annoying things I ever heard.

We do. I don't know how to describe my taste, since I like a little of everything. Eclectic, I guess.
Have you known anyone with the name Demi-Leigh? I don't think I have ever heard it.
ETA: Whoops, just read your reply to Caroline. NM.

Oh gracious, Demi-leigh is a combo I hadn't heard yet. That's really bad. It sounds like a really tacky bra.
Haha, it does! It's a combo that's had quite a bit of usage in the UK, mainly during the 90s/00s, although I did recently hear of a young one.
Bottom five favorites or bottom five as in 5 most disliked? I guess the latter since you have Finn and Tanner on there? (I see Caroline asked this same question, sorry)
There are a large number of names I dislike a lot - most of them are surname-trend - but I will give you 5 names that happen to come to mind at this moment, and try to include some non surname names:
Cooper
Ryder
Barnaby / Barnabas
Felix
Alfie
Riley
Piper
Felicity
Poppy
Evangeline
