My stepmom has a longtime friend named Helga, who has despised her name for most of her life (I forget if she goes by something else, but I don't believe she got a nickname to "stick"). There's also the character on "Hey Arnold!" that a lot of people view as a negative association. And on my own PNL, Helga is sitting pretty at 1 star (at least it isn't half a star). No matter where I go, I seem to be the only person who likes the name Helga. I vastly prefer it to Olga, which is the name most people choose if they have to choose one of the two (I've also met more real-life Olgas than Helgas).
