I have a completely different opinion of names that most of the posters on this board, so I thought I'd ask what girl names do you absolutely hate? We can't come to an agreement on a girl name, and I'm not getting any inspiration from the names that people like on this board, so I'm hoping I get some inspiration by going the opposite route.
So, what are some names that you would never name your daughter?

-Nevaeh
-ailey/aley names
-anything trendy, like Riley, Reagan, Madison, Addison, Sydney, Peyton
-all the top 10 names- way overdone
-Alaina and all of it's spelling variations
-I've always hated Jamie and Heather for some reason, too

Eleanor
Vivian
Kiera
Penelope

These are just some I could think of. Good luck!
Personally for my son I liked strong masculine names and didn't care at all about popularity. But for DD's I really wanted something that stood out a bit more, wasn't cutesy or frilly (anything ending in -lee sound especially) and was simple. Went with Scarlet and Tess.. although some people may see Tess as a super girly name I thought it was both pretty and strong. To each their own! Good luck.
