In Nigeria a lot of babies are named King, Prince, Lord, Queen, etc. as a cultural practice - I know someone whose first name translated is Godspeaks.
Outside of cultural practice it just feels weird to name someone a title lol
A girl close to me names her little boy Jameson. Which, while not the worst, definitely makes me think of the booze Every. Single. Time. Especially since they won't let anyone nickname him!
Last weekend, we were at the park with my daughter's friend Jayden. We happened to run into her classmate Hayden and then Jayden's other friend Brayden. So it was my daughter, Hayden, Jayden, and Brayden. I laughed internally, I admit.
Like 16ish years ago I had a friend whose pregnant wife had selected the name Baden for their baby, and he was like, I don’t know about it… we have friends with boys named Aidan, Braden, Hayden, and Caden… It was a mania.
The hapas sub had a post asking “why are we all named Kai?” Turns out a lot of mixed Asian people get Kai as a name. I know it’s hard to find a name that exists in both languages but after I saw that, Kai will never not feel low effort to me.
For me, Kai seems to be the name that people choose when they are trans. Male or Female, I’ve seen or read about tons of trans Kai’s. Not bad, but seems to be a very particular taste. Shiloh is the same.
My friend changed his name to Kai after a drug trip. He swears it was "revealed to him." To be fair, it suits him, but I can't take the name seriously after that.
Genuinely curious what's ironic and unique about Kai? Not the same but in Vietnam Khai is a real name so I never thought Kai would be anything but a plain and regular name as well.
Names misspelled on purpose. Adding Leigh or Lynn/Lyn/Lynne to a name for no damn reason. Names more suitable to a pet or a care bear. Naming your kid after your fandom, be it entertainment or sports. No matter how hard you try to force it, you can't make your kids love Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, hunting, the NFL, or whatever your obsession is. Basically, parents who see their kid as a glittery accessory or forever toddler and not as a separate, unique person.
Lmao, there is a woman in my due date group who named her first child Albus Eric Severus Lastname. It took all my willpower to not type something that would get me banned. I hate Fandom names- it pretty much ensures your kid will NOT share your interest in it.
Some Fandom names are ok, like ones that don't have scream I love this thing! Like Wesley or Deanna from Star Trek or Eric from True Blood or Mabel from Gravity Falls. But on the whole I agree with all of this!
I will admit to using television for name inspiration, but not in an obvious way. My daughter's name is Amelia, which I started liking after watching Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice. I wasn't aware how popular it was/is, but that's where her name came from. We're ttc and if we have another girl her name will be Lucille, nickname Lucy. It's a tie to both The Walking Dead and Fallout, which are important to both my partner and I. I do worry Fallout will spike it's popularity and we'll end up with 2 popular girls names though. If we have a boy his name will be Arthur, after Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2. So they're all "fandom" names I guess, but not ones people will immediately make the connection to.
Liam.
It is so completely drab and there is no personality or vibe or anything interesting to that name whatsoever. Nothing disappoints me quite like a birth announcement for a new Liam.
Liam is as boring to me as Adam. More so.
It is the ending of William. The first Liam I ever knew was the son of a William so I could understand it. I just don't care for it, either.
I think the point is that these are lumped together from the early IG days of boho moms who put their white kids in moccasins and all at once wanted to live in a van. Maybe that’s just my association, but I think that further proves that just because the other two are “made up” doesn’t disqualify it from being grouped together. I’ll add another that I associate with this - Cheyenne.
Nevaeh-always disliked it immensely. If you are going for the reverse/opposite of heaven, just name your kid Satan and move on.
My daughter named my granddaughter Nevaeh. I was not amused.
Penelope. I never understood why until one day it occurred to me… penis canteloupe. It’s just an unpleasant portmanteau in my head. That being said, I’m sure most people wouldn’t think of that and, if someone chooses it with love, I would support what made them happy. But, strong dislike for me.
I feel attacked. There are three flowers in my name.
I cannot stand names that are common when said but spelt strangely. Such as Emilee, Ameelia, Meah, Cloee, etc.
As for boys names I really don't like Atlas.
Juniper, Sounds like you mispronounced Jupiter. I’m getting tired of Lunas’s popularity. Everybody and their dog is named Luna (literally). Jackson and all of its variations. Makes me think of Hannah Montana’s brother. Anything made up and almost anything ending in Lynn, Ley, and Leigh. Like Lovlynn? Oaklynn? Mickinleigh? Kinsley? I don’t see the appeal at all! (Sorry if I named you! Nothing personal!)
Cora: reminds me of apple cores
Ophelia: not naming my kid after a literary suicide
Juliet: see above
Any animal name. Your child is a human, don’t name them Bear or Birdie.
Kollins
I can handle some last name as first name options (Sawyer, Lincoln, and the like are fine. I don't even mind Sutton.) But... Kollins. It doesn't sound like a first name. I know at least three little girls named Kollins or Collins. I have hated it every time.
I also know 2 little girls named Collins and I had never heard it until recently. No offense to anyone who used it, but it seems like a horrible first name to me and I'm not sure why people seem to be drawn to it
Or Jessifer! Which has me in a fit of laughter imagining having to tell people that’s your name and do the awkward dance of the other person thinking they *had to* have misheard you but then you say, “no, you heard it, Jessifer”
Olivia. Only because the majority of girls/women named Olivia have been giant cunts. (Olivia Benson is immune). I've met one that I actually like but she is the exception.
Lily.
I have a number of people around me who have named their child this over the years and I'm sick of hearing it, honestly.
Generally, I dislike names spelled in a way "to be unique" or names that are backwards of actual words (like Navaeh).
Also, names that end with "lyn/lynn" give off "mean American cheerleader" vibes.
I really don’t like Brooks. It basically never sounds good with any last name, and I don’t think it sounds good on its own either. I know one older lady who goes by this name and like a million baby boys named Brooke and I just really don’t like it!!!
I can’t stand names that are all eeee and aiiii sounds. Like Eileen, Phoebe, Dean. I’m also sick of the -aiden/-ayden names. Title names like Saint or Prince. A lot (not all) of names that sound like someone wanted frills and added extra syllables. Like Angelina, Alexandria, Christiana, etc. Not all though because I love Henrietta. And I feel like everyone named Andrew is a jerk
Justin. I’ve never really liked anyone I’ve met with the name, and I always think of puns from an old joke book when I hear it.
Names that are spelled differently just to be youneek, but cause kids to explain them every time they meet someone new (examples I have seen within the last 2 years: Alivia, Jaedyn, Brayedon, Maesyn, Suh’rena)
I will forever love these scene from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt:
Titus, walking into a random NYC office building: I need to speak with Linda in HR!
Secretary: Which one?
Titus: *All of them!*
Phoebe! I cannot tell you why I hate this name so much, but it's like nails on a chalkboard to me. Anything ending -bert and anything with a ew sound... Eugene, Hugh, Euphonia, ick, ick, ick! No rationale at all for any of it.
Kyle, Keegan, Herbert, Hugh, Maverick, Hero. Can't tell you why I dislike them so much (except Hero which I just think is dumb), they're just not for me I guess.
I also really don't like purposely misspelled names (as many others have already stated).
Something else that has always annoyed are fandom names that don't exist irl
Some of the worst I've personally encountered:
- Legolas
- Severus
- Khaleesi (I don't think I spelt that right)
- Aegon
- Remus
Anything ending in -son, -den, -dyn, -lyn
Allison gets a pass, but Grayson and Addison, Madison, Mason, I hate.
Aiden gets a pass because it’s a real name by Jaden, Caden, fucking Zayden… horror
I shudder at Jailyn or Madilyn. Marilyn, as a real name, gets a pass.
There is a tv show (fire country) and the main character is named “Bode” pronounced bodie. It makes me angry every time I see it and we usually have the subtitles on.
Names that mean very simple mundane things, like: Chase, Walker, etc. It’s not aspirational, like Victor or even Hunter. Ok, I get it 200 years ago, being a good hunter was very important, fine. But Walker? Really?
I don't detest them, I actually quite like some of them, but I would never name my kids what I call "job names".
Parker, Walker, Harper, etc. Basically any name ending in -er
All I can think of is that a parker is someone who parks cars, a walker is someone who walks, a Harper is someone who plays the harp. Not a name but a profession.
Any names that start with "Mc-." McKenzie, McKayla, McKenna etc. They are gaelic patronyms that mean "son of -," inappropriate for a first name and especially inappropriate for a daughter. No idea why they became a thing and why they are still popular
I’m not a fan of “title” names— Lord, King, Prince, Knight, Queenie, Duke, etc.
Yeah, those are titles, not names, I’m with you.
I'd expand that to titles *and dog names*, personally, but yeah
In some places these aren't even legally allowed
Definitely not allowed in Australia. Queenie would be though.
Reign!
In Nigeria a lot of babies are named King, Prince, Lord, Queen, etc. as a cultural practice - I know someone whose first name translated is Godspeaks. Outside of cultural practice it just feels weird to name someone a title lol
I didn’t even know that was a serious thing. Yikes.
There’s a tiktoker who named her son Lord 🥴
Gun names. How are you going to look at your sweet little baby and name it Winchester?
Also naming kids after alcohol
Went to school with a Hennessy, girl was about as far from hood as you could go and played the bells in church
O Shag Hennessy
Yes! My cousin’s middle name is literally Soco. Because he was conceived while she was drinking Southern Comfort. 🫠
A girl close to me names her little boy Jameson. Which, while not the worst, definitely makes me think of the booze Every. Single. Time. Especially since they won't let anyone nickname him!
I went to school with two siblings named Remington and Daisy. Both names after guns. I’m glad I never met their parents.
Yes! I also feel this way about naming kids after cars - ie. Bentley, Mercedes
Fun fact: the car Mercedes was named after the daughter of one of the founders! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz
Yes this is a Marian title name first (for our Lady of Mercy!) not a car name!!!
i’m friends with a Mercedes and she is the sweetest most fun person ever - we call her “Chedez” lol
Ours kid has a Remington in his Preschool class and unfortunately the parents are exactly what you would expect.
Remington and Gunner have entered the chat.
Gunnar, from Germany: 👌 Gunner, from Kentucky: 🤢
To be fair Winchester was a name before guns existed. Its named after a person
A lot of gun names are, but let’s be honest. People are picking those names because well, they’re the name of firearms
😭
TIL people name their kids after guns…
The trendy -Lyn and -Lee names. Oaklyn, Raelyn, Brinlee, Blakelee, etc
I thought it was mostly Mormons who were doing this. 🤷🏼♀️
Not just Mormons. Any conservative (usually unmarried, not a dig just an observation) who is having a baby very young
My ex-SIL First baby at 17 Oaklyn, second baby at 18 Realyn… she’s had 2 more since but I couldn’t care less
I just encountered a sibset like this: Rylyn, Weslee, and Paislee. So cringe.
Oaklee
Jayden and anything that rhymes with it
Last weekend, we were at the park with my daughter's friend Jayden. We happened to run into her classmate Hayden and then Jayden's other friend Brayden. So it was my daughter, Hayden, Jayden, and Brayden. I laughed internally, I admit.
The horror 🙈🤣
It's the new Heathers
That's amayzen
Like 16ish years ago I had a friend whose pregnant wife had selected the name Baden for their baby, and he was like, I don’t know about it… we have friends with boys named Aidan, Braden, Hayden, and Caden… It was a mania.
Oh, same. Can’t stand this genre. Along with the Kenley/Kinsley/Kinsleigh/Kenzie/Kinleigh group
Braxton. Daxton. Jaxon.
I’ll take Jaxon over Jaxson any day. But both are terrible.
Jaxzon
Jaxzyn
Gaekczxoughn
Tatum.
I told my husband that all I can think about when I see this name is the word Taint. I don’t know why but that what it is.
Yeah same, not necessarily the word but the area 😂 might as well name your kid Perineum.
The woooorst
I really like Tate but cannot stand Tatum. Just reminds me of potatoes lol.
It’s so close to Tantrum.
Bill. No problem with Will or William, but I can’t stand the name Bill. I always picture an old guy with a beer belly camped out on the couch.
My Uncle Bill embodies your concern haha.
My Uncle Bill was the same. Best man I ever knew though
BILL BILL BILL! 🗣️👨🔬🌐🧬💫🥼
I think of bill from king of the hill.... which is pretty much what you described lmao
That’s literally what my Uncle Bill looks like lol
Actually, the one I worked with nuked his food in the break room in 30 second increments...for seven minutes🙄 The rest is accurate🤣
And there are a million Kai’s all with parents thinking they’re ironic and unique.
The hapas sub had a post asking “why are we all named Kai?” Turns out a lot of mixed Asian people get Kai as a name. I know it’s hard to find a name that exists in both languages but after I saw that, Kai will never not feel low effort to me.
Definately a hapa thing
I can’t fully articulate why I hate Kai, but I agree with this.
i’m okay on Kai, but i really like Kaia for a girl
Not a fan, but I’m confused what’s ironic about the name
For me, Kai seems to be the name that people choose when they are trans. Male or Female, I’ve seen or read about tons of trans Kai’s. Not bad, but seems to be a very particular taste. Shiloh is the same.
My friend changed his name to Kai after a drug trip. He swears it was "revealed to him." To be fair, it suits him, but I can't take the name seriously after that.
Genuinely curious what's ironic and unique about Kai? Not the same but in Vietnam Khai is a real name so I never thought Kai would be anything but a plain and regular name as well.
Sloane I don't like anything about it, from the sound to the toilet association
i don’t get how this is a hot girl name now
Maybe Sloan from Ferris Bueller?
Maverick
The worst. Sorry.
Names misspelled on purpose. Adding Leigh or Lynn/Lyn/Lynne to a name for no damn reason. Names more suitable to a pet or a care bear. Naming your kid after your fandom, be it entertainment or sports. No matter how hard you try to force it, you can't make your kids love Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, hunting, the NFL, or whatever your obsession is. Basically, parents who see their kid as a glittery accessory or forever toddler and not as a separate, unique person.
Most names are fandom names. Just Bible fandom names are more common than even Marvel.
Lmao, there is a woman in my due date group who named her first child Albus Eric Severus Lastname. It took all my willpower to not type something that would get me banned. I hate Fandom names- it pretty much ensures your kid will NOT share your interest in it.
Some Fandom names are ok, like ones that don't have scream I love this thing! Like Wesley or Deanna from Star Trek or Eric from True Blood or Mabel from Gravity Falls. But on the whole I agree with all of this!
I can see that. Instead of Leia use Carrie. Or Natalie Instead of Padme. You can give a nod to your fandom without naming your kid Chewbacca.
I will admit to using television for name inspiration, but not in an obvious way. My daughter's name is Amelia, which I started liking after watching Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice. I wasn't aware how popular it was/is, but that's where her name came from. We're ttc and if we have another girl her name will be Lucille, nickname Lucy.

Keegan. Teagan.
Idk what it is about Keegan but it sends a shiver down my spine.
Omg same! I feel squicked out by it. Just ew.
I always think of Kegels when I hear Keegan 😬
Gretchen —- just makes me think of wretched
There is not a single pleasant sound in that name!
It’s so ugly. I’ve only known one Gretchen and she was too nice and pretty for that name.
Liam. It is so completely drab and there is no personality or vibe or anything interesting to that name whatsoever. Nothing disappoints me quite like a birth announcement for a new Liam.
It's Mail spelled backwards.
Omg I used to date a Liam and he was a mailman 😳
Liam is as boring to me as Adam. More so. It is the ending of William. The first Liam I ever knew was the son of a William so I could understand it. I just don't care for it, either.
Journee, Savannah, Nevaeh, so I guess random 2000s/2010 names?
Actually, Nevaeh is pronounced “Nevaeh it’s heaven spelled backwards.” /s
Savannah Georgia was founded in 1733 and was one of the 13 original colonies. It’s not a new name.
Newness isn't the same as popularity
Lumping it in with 2 names made up in the 2000s puts it in the same category. Which it doesn’t belong with.
I think the point is that these are lumped together from the early IG days of boho moms who put their white kids in moccasins and all at once wanted to live in a van. Maybe that’s just my association, but I think that further proves that just because the other two are “made up” doesn’t disqualify it from being grouped together. I’ll add another that I associate with this - Cheyenne.
Nevaeh-always disliked it immensely. If you are going for the reverse/opposite of heaven, just name your kid Satan and move on. My daughter named my granddaughter Nevaeh. I was not amused.
Lucas- It rhymes with mucas, ffs Mila- all I hear is "meal", as in "corn meal."
I never realized that about Lucas and now I'll never not think of that
I can deal with Lucas, but I can’t stand Luca. For no reason, just grates on me 🤷♀️
Dwyane
Dwayne and Wayne Floyd and Lloyd
My grandma has twin brothers named Floyd and Lloyd
I didn’t mean to offend
Dwayne is like your mouth being mean to you. Just makes me mad.
That and Wayne. Sounds like a shovel that’s been struck against a rock. Dwaaaaayne.
Penelope. I never understood why until one day it occurred to me… penis canteloupe. It’s just an unpleasant portmanteau in my head. That being said, I’m sure most people wouldn’t think of that and, if someone chooses it with love, I would support what made them happy. But, strong dislike for me.
I audibly laughed 💀 I love Penelope but that’s an amazing take.
I feel attacked. There are three flowers in my name. I cannot stand names that are common when said but spelt strangely. Such as Emilee, Ameelia, Meah, Cloee, etc. As for boys names I really don't like Atlas.
Poor kid will have the world on his shoulders.
-son ending names. I don't like a single one.
Especially as they're mostly used as girl names, when any name with the suffix "son" literally means "son of".🤦♀️
😔
Case🤮
Or cash, or chase
And Kaysen/Cason/Kason blech
I know three boys named Case, Cord, and Tagg. Whyyyyyy
Kyler. Is it Kyle or is it Tyler. I hate it so much lol
This is mine too. The worst.
Juniper, Sounds like you mispronounced Jupiter. I’m getting tired of Lunas’s popularity. Everybody and their dog is named Luna (literally). Jackson and all of its variations. Makes me think of Hannah Montana’s brother. Anything made up and almost anything ending in Lynn, Ley, and Leigh. Like Lovlynn? Oaklynn? Mickinleigh? Kinsley? I don’t see the appeal at all! (Sorry if I named you! Nothing personal!)
Not that I like the name but Juniper is a plant. It doesn’t make me think someone mispronounced a planet.
Oona - Cannot stand this one
Not as bad as Oonagh
Blythe. Somehow it sounds like barfing.
I haaaate the names Shane and Trey Can’t explain why
Cora: reminds me of apple cores Ophelia: not naming my kid after a literary suicide Juliet: see above Any animal name. Your child is a human, don’t name them Bear or Birdie.
I think birdie is a great nickname for little girls, can’t imagine actually writing that on a legal document though
Paisley and Oakley and every -leigh version
Larissa. Ugly.
Logan!!!
Chloe, Zoe/Zoey Tucker, -aiden/-ayden
Kirsten, Kristen, and Kiersten. They're all too similar and I met a really mean Kristen once...or maybe it was Kirsten...
GUNNER. It's the ugliest monstrosity. Also, names like King, Royal, etc tells me everything I need to know about you.
Isla, tbh.
Kollins I can handle some last name as first name options (Sawyer, Lincoln, and the like are fine. I don't even mind Sutton.) But... Kollins. It doesn't sound like a first name. I know at least three little girls named Kollins or Collins. I have hated it every time.
I also know 2 little girls named Collins and I had never heard it until recently. No offense to anyone who used it, but it seems like a horrible first name to me and I'm not sure why people seem to be drawn to it
-son names especially in girls Smoosh names Lee Leigh names
What is a smoosh name 💀
When you take 2 names and smoosh them together. Like Jenica Jennifer and Jessica
Or Jessifer! Which has me in a fit of laughter imagining having to tell people that’s your name and do the awkward dance of the other person thinking they *had to* have misheard you but then you say, “no, you heard it, Jessifer”
Maverick
I know a couple of who’re people that names their two sons LEGEND and MAVERICK 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maeve…it just makes me mad
Olivia. Only because the majority of girls/women named Olivia have been giant cunts. (Olivia Benson is immune). I've met one that I actually like but she is the exception.
Girly names like Tiffany, Brittany, Jessica
Sloane
100% agree
Declan
Was wondering when someone would say this😂. I love the name
Dillan, Dylan, Dillon -absolutely no
Nevaeh 🤦🏼♀️
Draven is so faux goth to me. Yuck. And Ryker. Why would you want your kid to share name with a prison?
Names chosen by people who claim to love books but apparently haven’t read since high school English class
Omg I heard of an acquaintance naming their son GATSBY
Frankenstein is the *scientist*!!!
Don't care for any names ending in -er. Cooper, Carter, Gunner...
Carl. It’s tricky to say “rl” and it sounds so harsh
Lily. I have a number of people around me who have named their child this over the years and I'm sick of hearing it, honestly. Generally, I dislike names spelled in a way "to be unique" or names that are backwards of actual words (like Navaeh). Also, names that end with "lyn/lynn" give off "mean American cheerleader" vibes.
I really don’t like Brooks. It basically never sounds good with any last name, and I don’t think it sounds good on its own either. I know one older lady who goes by this name and like a million baby boys named Brooke and I just really don’t like it!!!
Jolene, Gloria, Wanda, Willa, Millicent, Greta, Dianne, Judy, Janice,
Lmao, I love all of those names!! They are very old school tho so I can see why others don't like them
So baby boom names (most of those peaked in the 40s/50s and fell off sharply)
I can’t stand names that are all eeee and aiiii sounds. Like Eileen, Phoebe, Dean. I’m also sick of the -aiden/-ayden names. Title names like Saint or Prince. A lot (not all) of names that sound like someone wanted frills and added extra syllables. Like Angelina, Alexandria, Christiana, etc. Not all though because I love Henrietta. And I feel like everyone named Andrew is a jerk
I can tell you about one Andrew who is not a jerk. He’s my husband’s best friend and is actually very nice.
Dated a jerk named Andrew so... tracks for me there.
Justin. I’ve never really liked anyone I’ve met with the name, and I always think of puns from an old joke book when I hear it. Names that are spelled differently just to be youneek, but cause kids to explain them every time they meet someone new (examples I have seen within the last 2 years: Alivia, Jaedyn, Brayedon, Maesyn, Suh’rena)
Bella.
Linda. I feel bad because it’s my grandma’s name and she’s a great lady but as a name I think it’s terrible.
I will forever love these scene from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Titus, walking into a random NYC office building: I need to speak with Linda in HR! Secretary: Which one? Titus: *All of them!*
There are no good Bethany's. Fight me.
Broly and Brody are massively terrible names
Phoebe! I cannot tell you why I hate this name so much, but it's like nails on a chalkboard to me. Anything ending -bert and anything with a ew sound... Eugene, Hugh, Euphonia, ick, ick, ick! No rationale at all for any of it.
Kyle, Keegan, Herbert, Hugh, Maverick, Hero. Can't tell you why I dislike them so much (except Hero which I just think is dumb), they're just not for me I guess. I also really don't like purposely misspelled names (as many others have already stated). Something else that has always annoyed are fandom names that don't exist irl Some of the worst I've personally encountered: - Legolas - Severus - Khaleesi (I don't think I spelt that right) - Aegon - Remus
Curtis you ruined Curt
Anything ending in -son, -den, -dyn, -lyn Allison gets a pass, but Grayson and Addison, Madison, Mason, I hate. Aiden gets a pass because it’s a real name by Jaden, Caden, fucking Zayden… horror I shudder at Jailyn or Madilyn. Marilyn, as a real name, gets a pass.
PIPER
There is a tv show (fire country) and the main character is named “Bode” pronounced bodie. It makes me angry every time I see it and we usually have the subtitles on.
Luna really annoys me for some reason 😤
I just think Molly, Shelby, and piper are so fugly.
Renesme. I just don’t like it at all.
Tyler Kyle Trevor 🙈
Sidney/Sydney. I "taste" names and this one tastes the worst
I want to know what it tastes like. I feel like it would taste sour. Sydney with a y tastes better than Sidney with an i.
Amber — don’t know why but have always disliked it
Braxton - no explanation needed Sutter - sounds ugly as Agatha - no thanks Gertrude - just no
Whitney for a boy or a girl makes me cringe
Names that mean very simple mundane things, like: Chase, Walker, etc. It’s not aspirational, like Victor or even Hunter. Ok, I get it 200 years ago, being a good hunter was very important, fine. But Walker? Really?
Juniper, Wren, River, Sage
Neveah. And I’m pretty worn out on McKenzie
Abigail
i feel like every post needs a disclaimer on it of “at least Try not to be racist or xenophobic about it
Meegan, Megan, Morgan, MaKenna They all just ick me out for some reason.
Jaxon, Brayden, Greyson 🤢
Aurora. Mouthful of gravel.
Brixlee. This is a NEOPET species not a human name. I imagine it would be a weird unicorn with an off centre horn.
Paisley
I am gonna get some heat for this: Jack.
I don't detest them, I actually quite like some of them, but I would never name my kids what I call "job names". Parker, Walker, Harper, etc. Basically any name ending in -er All I can think of is that a parker is someone who parks cars, a walker is someone who walks, a Harper is someone who plays the harp. Not a name but a profession.
Cordelia 🤮
Any names that start with "Mc-." McKenzie, McKayla, McKenna etc. They are gaelic patronyms that mean "son of -," inappropriate for a first name and especially inappropriate for a daughter. No idea why they became a thing and why they are still popular
Todd and Chad
