Re: Your all time least favorite classics (No restrictions)
in reply to a message by Caroline
I dislike (to varying degrees):
Michael
Christopher
Matthew
Thomas
John
Benjamin
Robert
David
Samuel
Andrew
Daniel
Paul
Anthony
Rachel
Rebecca
Catherine
Sarah
Margaret*
Ruth*
Susan*
Irene (and this saddens me)
Emily
Charlotte
I don't even know if these count as classics, because to me they are kind of like Ethel and Gertrude - dated old lady. Normally I consider a classic name to be one where I couldn't guess a person's age or the time period based on the name alone, and I definitely see Ruth, Susan and Margaret as old people.
