McKayla (or any Mc name)

Liam

Grace -beyond overused in my area

Madison

Nevaeh

Bentley

Jaxson- the Jackson spelling is ok, but this makes me cringe!

LuckyMissus · January 2012

I have always had irrational dislike for Asher and Eli. I also detest all these Jax / Jaxx / Jaxson / Jaxsyn names I'm hearing lately.

MKL08 · January 2012

Sarah, Emma, Grace, Emily, Kaitlyn

Brad, Liam, Jack

rnfromtn · January 2012

I don't know why, but I can't stand the name Rhys. It irritates me when I have to think twice about how to pronounce a name. Don't like Megan, Maxine, Hazel, pretty much all the old names people are trying to bring back.

P.S. Still LOVE the name Levi.

LemonBlush · January 2012

Off the top of my head, Presley and Connor. Not sure why I don't like Connor so much, maybe bc I hear it soooo much around here.

cloud9climber · January 2012

Brooklyn. Blech.

HAFranklin · January 2012

Bailey, Toby, Rory, Cody...All dogs names to me.

AlabamaMamma224 · January 2012

Hayden Aiden Ayden Jaden..... enough already!

Grayson, Jameson (really, going to name your kid after booze, really?)

Pretty much any girl name that ends with a y or and ee....Haley, Aubrey, Makalee, it isn't cute.....

Colton, Camden, Clayton,

and pretty much any name that people stick a random Y into, to make it 'different'

Oh, and Jax. What is that all about? I really do not get it....

sorry this turned into a mini-rant, but you did ask!

mer313131 · January 2012

Great thread!

Girls: Tiffany, Kailey, Aubrey/ee

Boys: Aiden and all the variations, Jaxson/Jaxon/Jax, super old-fashioned names like Theodore, Henry, Peter, Edward (these are ok as MN to honor family but not as FN to me).

magsugar13 · January 2012

Hazel

Matilda

Wyatt

Sawyer

asher

All smoosh names, boy names on girls, and occupation names

ToBeMrsT · January 2012

Riley, Bailey, Peyton, Jayden, Kaden, Brayden, Aubrey, Jade

natalie7s19 · January 2012

I have no idea why i dislike these, they just give off a terrible vibe for me:

Alex- names, Anthony, Ian, Michael, Samantha, Jasmine, Bridget, Jade

lmm9 · January 2012

Most hated girl name is Nevaeh...hands down. I am not as strongly opposed to boy names but Killian is definately one of the top for me. And any names like La-a (ladasha- you sound out the -) drive me insane!!!!

j+k0406 · January 2012

Lurker here, hope no one minds if I jump in here.

Olivia, C/Kaydence, Laura, Dylan, Chase and Jack.

salt78 · January 2012

Kyler and Kayla.

strawberrytree · January 2012

All boy names on girls, especially those whose spelling has been changed to make them more 'feminine', ie Carson-> Karsyn.

Jaxson/Jaxon (Jackson is fine), Bryson and all variant spellings, Logan

All Mc- and Mac-names, Kinley, Brinley, Braylee, Cora, Margo, Mallory

The American pronounciation of Genevieve (Jenna-veeve) is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

I'm sure there's a ton more...apparently I have a lot of hate, haha.

Edit: I forgot, I also have lots of hate for London, Ireland (and most other place names that aren't already names), and Kyler.

evaazalea · January 2012

A friend recently found out she was pregnant so I gave her some books and such but told her to please not use Madison, Jackson or anything that rhymes with aiden, yea totally my place...

Also dislike boy's name on girls, there was a cute little girl on the news the other night named Jamesyn, that made me sad.

hmp1 · January 2012

I think all "dar" names are so ugly for girls. Darla, Darlene

FrecklesInside · January 2012

Place names, especially Brooklyn

Trendy and cutsey names including Mc names, Paisley, Asher/Ashton, Grayson, Piper etc.

Ivy league sounding names.

I love how many view this post is getting...everyone is checking to see if people hate the names they love. lol.

alliejo725 · January 2012

Anything boring, particularly....

Anne, ughhh.

And pretty much every boys' name much-loved here, from Ethan to William. Yes, they're nice. Yes, they'll age well. Yes, they're spelled correctly. But seriously, can't we have a little imagination with boys' names?

alliejo725 · January 2012

gwinnygirl:
Chloe or Zoe(y). I don't know why, I just really don't like them at all.

This x1,000,000. For real.

Aww, my little guy is a Rhys. I guess I love it because it reminds me of our family's heritage. But I can't blame you on the proununcation part. A lot of people who've never heard of it think it's Rice. I'm surprised to see it even mentioned here. I always thought it was a very uncommon name in the U.S.

LaurenCase89 · January 2012

Mine are Hayeden, Brayden, Jayden, Caeden, and anything similar to that. They just bug me!

SuperCuteBenz · January 2012

I don't think I really hate any names. Maybe Neveah.

I love different names though. My DD is Addison, which most people on this board hate, so I am shocked it isn't mentioned here. My DS is Ryne, which isn't even on the radar.

If we have any more children, their names will be Emerson or Marissa for a girl, and Kian for a boy. No one pronounces my DS's name right, so why not add another confusing name? Stick out tongue

gimmietimmies · January 2012

I'm skipping over all the trendy you-neek names everyone else is posting, btdt. First names that jumped into my head was Mildred, Russell and Douglas. I'm not even sure why I don't like them, they've bugged me since I was little. Oh - and anything ending in -ene, like Carlene, Marlene, Arlene. Still don't know why. I know lots of people with these names, like the people, not such a fan of the names.
