I'm surprised that so many people don't like the name Genevieve.  I've always thought it was a beautiful and classy name. 

NerdyLucy

Oh yeah, and Elsa. I can't get on board with Elsa.

macchiatto

Oh, and definitely add Graham/Graeme to my list.
Graham cracker.

Gram as in short for Grandma.

I'm surprised that so many people don't like the name Genevieve.  I've always thought it was a beautiful and classy name. 

If they hate the way it sounds, I'm curious which pronunciation they hate---Fench, American, or both.

Astrid, Helen, Elizabeth, Catherine (boring, but ppl go gaga for it), Juniper, Genevieve, Elsa. "Hate" is a strong word, just over seeing these suggestions

femmepink

Ella (!!!!!)
Jackson - any spelling
Jax
Charlotte
Grace

Genevieve is one of my favorite names. I like both pronunciations. I'm semi surprised so many people dislike it but I think it's kind of a bold name; you'll either love it or hate it.

motherboy

Isaac
Graham or Graeme
Elijah

Althea
Anthea
Freya
Astrid

I'm a little shocked at all the Freya/Daphne/Isla hate! But I still like them

Lolapop29

Wow.. My baby name list isn't well liked...  

Oh well.  

Tiko99

I really can't stand Morgan (on a boy or girl ewww), Molly, John, Penelope, Jane and Sarah.

hazelrora

Mallory, Freya, Linus, Edmund, Harlan, Milo (I adore Miles though), Alexander/Xander/Alex, and Jillian all get a lot of love. I just can't like them.

My very top hated name is Gavin ........I don't know why, but I hate that name! Levi, Parker, Cooper, Hadley, Harper, Layla, Leila, Arden, Eden, Asher, Judson, Bryson, most McNames on girls, Sabrina,I am sure there are more, but nothing gets me like Gavin.

jennyshawn0808

Elizabeth

Charlotte 

Isaac

I also forgot:

Sophia - I love Sophie but Sophia has too many syllables are something. I had a Sophia in my class this year and it just didn't sound right when I said it.

Isabella - I've always thought it was an overly pretentious name. Isabelle I'm okay with though.

Any girl name that starts with a -Mar, with the exception if Margo.

Richard
Mitchell
Roger
Garth
Wayne
Dwayne

Robi1

Ugh Wyatt! That name sounds hideously ugly to me, I just do not get it. Also Rhys. Looks and sounds funny to me. 

Sophie is really icky to me too. Just sounds like Soapy. 

EXL311

These vary from hate to just dislike: Margot, Marjorie (yuck), Minerva (this seriously has to be one of the ugliest names I've ever heard), Julia, Evelyn, Penelope, Claire (just sounds boring to me although I do like Clara), Alice, Charlotte, Linus, Oscar, George, Elliott, Leonardo.  Pretty much most old lady and old man names.

emoxymoose

I hate Jayden and all the spellings that go along with it. I don't understand it's popularity and why people consider it unisex.

neverblushed

One name that gets a ton of love on this board which I really dislike is Grant.

Every time I hear Grant, I think Grunt.  I generally dislike most single syllable names, but this has to be one of my least favorites.

ETA:  looking at other replies reminded me of some others:

Graham

Augustus w/ nn Gus

Scarlet

Jacqueline

phdprocrastinator

I am using this thread to generate possible baby names...

That being said, I simply don't understand the name Ezra.  The first time I heard it on a baby, one of my friends was so excited about it and it took me a while to realize the excitement was genuine and not faked.

Some others:

Millicent

Scarlet

Harriet

Graeme/Graham

Neil (due to personal associations with that name)

Cornelius

K I have to know which one

JulieSC81

Ok, i have one that most people love. I thought i liked it too until i made the assiciation. Ivy. Cant like it anymore. It just sounds like IV. As in a hospital IV.

EricaCat1

I can't get on board with:

Audrey (boring and bland, does nothing for me whatsoever)

Olivia (I can only think of the pig, and the letter "O" always looks fat).

Ella (I think of an elephant or a fat old lady).

Stella (I think of an elderly woman).

Hannah/Hanna (Never understood this name.  Why not just the beautiful Anna?  It looks like someone's making a mockery of Anna by putting "Haha" in front of it).

Penelope (Saying this name always makes me feel like I have a stuffy nose).

Zoe/Lea/Ann/Lee (Three-letter names freak me out with the exception of Ava and Lia.  Zoie, Leia, Anne, and Leigh are very pretty).

Brianna (bad association)

Grace (meh)

Amelia/Emilia (All I hear is "mealy").

Rebecca (I was never a big fan of this name and I can't quite explain why.  I just really don't think it's pretty).

Chloe (One big pile of nope)!

I literally can't think of any boys' names right now which I dislike that everybody else seems to like!!  Lol!

mommy5point0

There was a recent thread about Minerva. I couldn't believe all the rallying behind it and OMG please name your baby that... OMG please don't. The association behind it for me is funny and may add to it but I can't wrap my mind around actually naming a child that.

My uncle was gay, had a life partner who he called Minerva when he was pissed at him. I asked once "Why do you call G Minerva?" He answered "Because he gets on my nerves!"

Just saw this now, Freya Genevieve is my current #1 at the moment.  I don't mind all the hate though, I still love it. 

Persephone is also on my list.

You can add me to that list! Especially with such classics being named above such as Elizabeth.

mtm0109

I loathe mason, Liam, Damon, dameon, Bella, Persephone, Gertrude, Sophia, Alison, Alice, I do not understand calliope.

julesgilead

Isla, Aurora, any really frilly name like Arianna, Isabella, Gabriella.
I've got a lot less boys' names I outright hate, and more I really love, so I guess I'd have a way easier time naming a son!
I'm not a fan of Andrew.

Alid86

I have lots but here is my short list Tucker - dog name
Gavin - not sure why but just no
Theodore - old man name
Harry - old, dirty man
Pete - ugh
Rodney - so harsh sounding

Mauve - I don't get this
Beatrice - cows name
Penelope - just bad
Jasmine - awful but even worse is nn jazz
Dorothy - sounds old and dusty
Brenda/Beatrice/Bernice - yuck!
Stella - I do not get the love everyone has for this name at all.

*any name related to hunger games or twilight....seriously!
* any name that you added a ly/lee/lie to the end of such as Brynnlee

All of this being said, I know that I tend to like more uncommon names that the majority dislike and am scared to ask ya'lls opinion

AmandaR204

Audrey, Aubrey, Abigail, Addison, Madison, Mckenzie, Adalin, Blair, nevaeh Ryder, mason, dashiell, Trevor, Taylor/Tyler, callum, Sebastian, Jayden, trey. And Tate....sounds like taint.
