Most of the posts on this board are dedicated to a specific name or list of names, or at least to names the OP likes. Occasionally, we'll do a hate-parade of all the stuff we think is ugly. This, however, is a post for the names we don't like, but to see how others do.

And I don't mean the royal "we" here, lol! I may start off this post with a set of names I've just never been able to appreciate, but I want people to provide their own and offer feedback on each other. This is less about "out-there" names, though it could be about names that show up on these boards often; but mostly I'm thinking about names in regular use, that you encounter in real life, that you just could never seem to get behind.

I'll start. Here are my "everyday" names that I just... can't like:

Peter
Oliver (also the nickname Ollie / Olly)
Asher, Ashton, and anything to do with "Ash"
Archer, Archibald, and anything to do with "Archie"
Dylan
Andrew
Gary
Kyle
Cody
Corey
Patrick (also the nickname Pat)
Jeremy
Paul
Dustin
&
Margaret
Ashley
Alice, and by extension Allison
Gertrude (I dislike Gert, but think Trudy is worse)
the nicknames Pat & Patti (though I think "Trish" or "Tricia" is okay for Patricia)
Brittany, Britney, etc.
Nicole
Courtney
Danielle
Melanie, Melody, and anything to do with "Mel"
Shelly, Shelley, etc.
Shelby
Kelly
the nickname Angie (though Angela is the only full name I dislike)

the nickname "Sam," for anyone
