Is Kennedy really so bad?

So someone asked this question on the baby name board a while ago and it got a lot of negative comments. I feel like sometimes that board tends to be really traditional so I was just curious what you all think of the name Kennedy.

    i don't care for it as a first name. i don't like that it is a) a common last name and b) the last name of a famous political family.

    Not my style at all. I think of either the political family or the 90s MTV VJ (who is still a radio personality in SoCal).

    I am not a fan, but I am very into traditional, non trendy names. Hence, Clara and Bennett.

    It has to be a really weird name or spelling to get an eye roll from me. Kennedy is not my style. But not that bad. I feel like it's growing in popularity.

    Thanks for the opinions! I really like the name but don't like that so many people dislike it. It may be time to scratch it off the list.

    I will be odd man out and say that I actually really like it. To each his own. lol.

    I should add I have an Aiden and an Isaac (My husband is really nerdy and it actually came to be because of Isaac Newton. although pretty much no one knows that)

    If you like it, who cares what others think.  I like the name, but it's not on my "list" of names.  Right now, I'm loving the name Reagan.  Another "presidnet name".  I'd like it for a girl or a boy.  There is a radio host (guy) whose name is Reagan, and I alwasy thought it was "cool".  So I kind of clump Kennedy with Regan.

    Got pregnant on our own without Fertility Treatments - January 2016!  Thank you snow storm Jonas!
    EDD 10/15/16
    At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid.  Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth.  If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP.  My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!
