ETA
in reply to a message by Caroline
I hate Mary, Ann or Anne, Margaret, Jane, and Charlotte. I hate Robert, George, and Henry. If I think of more, I will edit.
ETA reasons: I don't care that Mary, Ann or Anne, and Jane are not that commonly used as first names these days. Their centuries of overuse means they are still generic. I think that if you use any of these names you may as well be calling your kid "Hey You." Plus Anne sounds like you're hawking something up.
Margaret is just terminally dumpy.
Charlotte is about 5 feet tall, has mousy brown frizzy hair, very thick glasses, poor posture, is always carrying a load of books, has never had a date, and wears orthopedic shoes.
