Names that leave zero impression on you
What are some names that are so simple that leave you with absolutely no impression on the other person?Do you know any objectively "uncommon" or "unheard" names like this, that are so boring or similar to other names they leave no impact? I'd understand if you didn't, because classics like Mary (I know some people would consider this) and stuff get like that through such popular use!

All surname names. And Caitlyn/Kaitlyn/Katelyn/etc, Jessica, Nicole, Michael, and Brandon. I can't think of any uncommon names that leave no impact on me.

The vast variety of surname names, they are zero-impact pablum, no matter how uncommon they might be. Leighton Layton Cayson Kaeson Carson Ashton Ashten Kashton Maxton Jaxton Paxton Payton Dayton Dalton Walker Carter Sawyer Cooper Cash Nash Chase Knox Ryder Ryker Hudson Judson Bennett Benson Bentley Branson Bronson Brantley Brently Braylon Braylan Briley Braden Braydon Landon Addison Adley Hadley Hadleigh Harleigh Marley Landen Landon Finley Finnley Tinley Kinley Kinsley Kensleigh Mckinsley ... fuh. My eyes are glazing over, and this list could fill the page twice over.
Uncommon names I've seen that have no impact on me: Joash, Sarai, Micaiah, Uriah, Hepzibah, Zedekiah, Abiah, stuff like that. Names like Atarah, Amaya, Anaya, Adina, Adora, Alaia, Aliza, Anisa.

I see Adora there..My doctor for my first two children was named Aldoria. (male).French-speaking, but it's an uncommon name, for sure. I'd have had him for my third child, but we moved away from that area. My doctor for our daughter was named Rino.(Ree-no, not as the African animal.)

I think all the Taylens, Taygens, Rylans, Keelins etc come under this. Also, Blake, John, Matthew, Nathan and Hayley give me the same impression. And, unfortunately, Jack to some degree even though I love it!
