    I'm really tired of the last names being used as first names trend (i.e. Harper, Emerson, Emory, Sawyer, Harris, Harrison, Landon, Bennett, Parker, Brady etc. etc. etc.

    Of course all the overplayed Aidan spinoff names (i.e. Jayden, Hayden, Brayden, and all of their yooneek spellings)

    Most place names like London, Brooklyn, Berlin, Dallas, Jersey, etc.

    Ella, Ellie, Valerie, Valeria, Christine, Christina, Samantha, Alexis, Connor, Cole, Colton, Bryce, Brent, Jasper, Payton (and all of it's spellings), Makenzie, Makayla, Monica, Leah, Brenda, Barbara, Emery, Eliza, Dora, Grayson (and all it's spellings), Gabriella, Isabella, Annabelle, Julianna, Jaxon, Jackson, Maddox, Nevaeh, Semaj, Tina, Yvonne, Jessica, Jesse, Bentley, Kylie, Caitlin (and all of it's spellings), Ashley, Susan, Lisa, Zander, Amber, Lynn, Avery, Francine, Michelle, Clarissa, Carissa, Brianna

    That's all I can think of off the top of my head!

    ETA: Hunter, Chase, Jace, Savannah, Nicole, Ginger & Cyenne!

    Kelsie, Ashley, Lexi, Tyler, Abby, Kaylee, Lauren, Hailey, Samantha, Taylor, Makayla, Mckenzie, Jessica (basically all the over-used 90's names that I've grown up with).  

    Names I used to like until they became popular:

    Jack, Ava, Avery, the nn Ellie, Sophia, Olivia, Elizabeth, Henry, Lily.

     

    I think the names I hate are because I have bad associations with the people who share that name...if that makes any sense at all!

    There are a lot of names out there that aren't my style, but I don't necessarily hate them. I do, however, abhor birth announcements that say "welcome, Name (nickname)!" especially if the nickname doesn't really seem to make sense for the chosen name. Even if it is an accepted nn, I still think it's weird. Maybe I'm just annoyed by the people in my life who seem to do this and it wouldn't bother me as much if it were someone else.

    What's up with the hate for Leah? It's a classic name from the bible. Anyway, I can't stand MacKenzie (any other spelling variation). Or presidential names...Madison, Reagan, Kennedy, Lincoln. Ugh! Brooklynn and Nevaeh are also major dislikes.

     serioulsy.  anyway, all of the -ayden names have run their course.  in my area, it seems like every other baby girl is named isabella.  i don't hate the name per se, it's just so overused at the moment.

    I'll just say "ditto" to all of this.

    My most hated names are anything rhyming with Aiden, boy names on girls, and last names as first names (especially for girls).

    There are a few names that I absolutely HATE, but they are:

    Kelsey

    Ann

    Braxton/Brekken

    Mason

    Kai

    Aiden/Brayden/Jayden (though not Kaden...only because I have a good association because a darling little boy with that name)

    McKenzie

    Sarah

    Kaitlin/Kaylin

    Madison/Addison

    Allison

    Paige 

    Alexis

    Grayson

    Brycen

    Stephanie 

    Claire

    Isabel (which is, in fact, the EXACT way Jezebel is pronounced in Hebrew)

    Nevaeh/Heaven (apparently that's a popular twin set)

    Then there are names that I'm just tired of seeing, but was either neutral/positive on before, like:

    Sophia

    Avery

    Annabelle

    Madeline

    Emily

    Jacob

    Andrew

    Matthew

    Emerson

    Aubrey

    (Not bad names...and names I would still suggest to someone if they were their style, I'm just over them)

    Anything that sounds hookerish to me is out. Like Pepper, Fury, Sugar, or Sprinkles.

    Kai means 'King' in Japanese. I can't tell you how much it ticked me off when we were in Japan for men to name thier boys Kai. Really, that's so pompous. It's like naming your daughter Queen, Empress, or Princess. It's a surefire way for that kid to feel like he needs to be spoiled all the time and like he's entitled.

    Any names traditionally spelled with a Cs that are changed to Ks. Examples: Kole, Khloe, Karli, Konner.

    Certain trends, like misspelled names, -ayden names, occupation names (read: Tanner, Cooper, Thatcher etc), surnames, random smushes pr using "ly" or "lyn" to create new names, and boy names on girls.

    I also hate dated names, like Jason and Jesse for boys and Miranda and Amy for girls. 

    Tristan - too feminine for a boy and such a wimpy namesake

    Charlotte - read "Harlot"

    Madison, Addison, Madelyn (Madeleine is ok)

    Generally, I really dislike:

    * Last names used for first names (with a very few exceptions), especially for girls. I think naming a girl anything ending in "son" is particularly ridiculous and makes it sound to me like the parents just don't think things through.

    * Boy names used for girls.

    * Made-up names.

    * Cadence.

    * Cre8ive spellings, random K's and y's like a lot of you mentioned, etc. They make me cringe.

    * Place names used as people names (unless, of course, it's also traditionally a name in its own right, since some places were named after people ;)).

    * In some cases, using a distinctively ethnic name, the name of a tribe, etc., when you have no ties to that people group.

    There are some individual names as well that I dislike, but my biggest name pet peeves fall into those categories.

    That is about the only name that I absolutely cannot stand... and can find nothing "pretty" or "special" about it.
