There are some names I consider boring, mainly due to their ubiquity, but I separate those from names I genuinely consider "insubstantial." Most of these have already been mentioned, but here's my list:

---

Mia ("My... what, exactly?")
Lee (I commented farther down that I forgot this name even existed)
Lynn (the absolute least substantial sole syllable... at least Ann / Anne begins with a vowel that isn't a schwa)
Ella (sounds like it should be a nickname)
Etta (see Ella)
John (You name your kid this when you have no clue what to name him but don't want him to be laughed at, while forgetting "john" is also slang for the toilet.)
Ethel (Today's "Name of the Day" is one big slurry.)
Lilith (see "Ethel," except it's not today's "Name of the Day")
