Ella - this is so incredibly bland
Lee - for both genders

These are all I can think of right now. Ella is really the blandest I can think of. Even many one syllable names such as Kay have more energy. I don't mind Ella it's just so bland that I'm seriously wondering how it could ever get common.

Thank you for reminding me that Lee is a name that exists. It's so insubstantial that I forgot its existence.
Do you feel the same way about Leigh?
To me, Leigh looks like it should be pronounced LAY, with a long-A sound, which I don't like either.
I once lived with a woman who had a boyfriend named Lee. Sort of a boyfriend, it was not an exclusive relationship for either party. Anyway, for whatever reason, this woman felt she absolutely positively had to call Lee every night. We didn't have a phone at the time, so when we wanted to use the phone, we had to ask the neighbors if we could use theirs. This was infrequent for me, but not for her, due to the nightly phone calls to Lee.
She couldn't just pick up the phone and call him, it was a bit of a production to go the neighbors' house. And it annoyed me, because I hated having anyone in my household bug my neighbors that much. So. Every. Single. Night. I heard, "I have to call Lee", and then I'd inwardly groan, wondering why the heck it was so darn important to talk to Lee every night.
Those were the days that I wished I could forget that Lee as a name exists.

There's a personal injury lawyer in the Detroit area named Lee; his tagline is "Call Lee Free".
It has nothing to do with the topic; your post just reminded me of his commercials. She has to call Lee!
I guess there's another one in Florida too. You said they weren't exclusive but I wonder if your former housemate knows that everybody calls Lee?

Dang, that is so annoying.
Can't believe I forgot Ella!
It's so...wispy.

I hate Ella, too, for the reason you mention. Good example.
