I'll throw mine in. Most liked boys: Alexander, Daniel, Joshua. Least liked boys: Mason, Noah, David. Most liked girls: Olivia, Natalie, Sophia. Least liked girls: Madison, Addison, Abigail. I definitely dislike more than I like, especially on the girls list, but even for both, it was harder to narrow the disliked down to three than the liked.

Please limit yourself to three most liked and three most disliked, otherwise I feel there's no point to the exercise.
