What are some names from TV show characters that you think are horrible?

Re: Bad TV character names

    ABC Family always has the dumbest names on their characters. 

    Currently, this is evidenced by a GIRL named Spencer on "Pretty Little Liars". What is REALLY sad about it, though, is that this has caused real people to actually consider the name for their baby girls.

    Remember Lennox (also a GIRL) on "Melissa and Joey" last year? We had a few "WDYT of Lennox for a girl?" posts at that time too. Tongue Tied

    I don't watch much TV, and can't think of any horrible names right now, but I'm watching Criminal Minds and thought of something. The Unit Chief's name is Aaron and his supervisor's name is Erin. She isn't a character in many of the episodes, and both are fine names, but why would you use the "same name" (same sounding, anyway), for two different characters? There's only so many characters in the show, they could've picked a different name for one of them.

    A teacher I had in college named his daughter Mila Lux. He said Mila is German for my little darling (or something to that effect), and Lux is Latin for light. That's cool and all, but there are numerous, awesome names that mean light in several languages.

    I know a girl my age (early 20's) named Spencer. Her mom's name is Shaun.

    also from Criminal Minds I am very not a fan of Gideon. It just kind of sounds evil

    I agree with Sookie and I'll add Lafayette also from True Blood.

    I agree with Sookie (from TB and Gilmore Girls!)

    Quinn from Glee, I always though Quinn was a boys name and kind of a manly one at that.

    Let's go back a bit: Pacey from Dawson's Creek. I ADORED his character, but that name always had me scratching my head. AFAIK, it wasn't a nickname.

    Pacey was bad, Dawson was also bad.

    Janay (spelling) on that BET football wives show.  and Derwin for that matter.

    Arizona (not my cup of tea)

    Gideon is his last name.  His first name is Jason.  It is mentioned a few times while he was on the show.

    It's legit. I've known 2 people named Sookie.

    I would like to shank whoever came up with Cohen on the OC. I know it was his last name, but that's why there are so many little Cohens running around.
