HelpRe: Your Bottom 5
in reply to a message by Billina
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.
those were days of roses...

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.
