    For a boy, I hate all of the Aadyn/Jayden/Caiiden hybrids. They're horrible and just need to go away. 

    For a girl, I most hate Brielle and Nevaeh.

    Oh, and anything that's spelled youneek.

    And boys' names on girls, like Elliot.

    I also dislike the names Daniella and Danika. Just because.

    I know I'm going to be in the minority on this one (maybe I should save it for a Thursday UO instead), but I am sick of "Grace" and "Rose" in the middle name spot for girls (unless used for a namesake).  Both are beautiful names, but I think they are too played out now and will be very dated in a few years' time.  I see them as today's "Ann" or "Marie."

    While I don't disagree with you that they're both "filler" MNs, I do LOVE both Rose and Grace in the MN spot. I won't personally be using them, but I do love them.

    I agree. My MN is Ann and my older sister's is Marie. My younger sister was the only one that got off with some creativity for her middle name (Elaine).

    "Special" spellings of names, it annoys me, just give your kid the name it was meant to be dammit.  Most people do it thinking it won't be as common, for instance my cousin named his daughter Morgyn because they didn't know anyone who spells it that way and it makes it special, well guess nothing "special" about it, it's still pronounced the same no matter how you cut and dry it!

    Like a pp said, there are certain names I can't help but associate with people I can't stand, so I don't like those names either.

    There are some names that I do not like because the people that are not my fav have them. I kind of live by the "to eachs own", but Sometimes really off the wall names I think to myself that is going to suck for that kid. You hope the kid does not get made fun of.  I get though that there is meaning behind them, but names like Apple, or some real ghetto names.I am like really?

    ETA: Cars too, I will immediately judge you if you name your daughter Lexus. 

    All of this for sure.

    Also names that are people I know whom I do not like.

    Names that are spelled weird.

    Names that make me think of cows, like Bertha. (Is that mean?)

    And names of places, especially if it is where the person was conceived/born or something weird like that.

    Poor kids! That's just sad.

    My sister's good friend named her daughter Patience. The reason. Because they were married five years and they had to be "patient". They weren't trying and they were actually separated when she found out she was pregnant with her.

    Me too. Before I became a SAHM I was a 6th grade teacher, so I saw a lot of names, and you-neek spellings don't make your child stand out, they make them seem low class.

    Personally, I really don't like the "old" names that are becoming so popular.  I used to voluteer in a nursing home, so anytime I see the names I think of the patients.  Mabel, Evelyn, Maxine, Vera, etc.  I also don't care for "T" names for girls.(except my own Wink ).  Tabitha, Tallulah, Theodora, Theresa. Just not a fan.

    In general, I love old-fashioned/traditional names and hate invented/youneek names.

    I also hate it when a kid gets a name that's really a nickname, instead of a real name - for example, officially naming your kid Callie instead of naming your kid Callista or Caroline or Calliope or whatever Callie is actually short for. I feel bad for the kid because they're going to grow up one day and have a name that sounds like a perpetual five-year-old.

    I always try and keep my comments & judgements to myself when people pick out names, different strokes for different folks.

    But this is the interwebz so things I would refrain from are....

    - "you-neek" spelling's
    - uber common/popular names (while I love Emma, it will never be on my list of potentials)
    - girls with boys names
    - celebrity names (ie. apple, cocoa, Fifi Trixiebelle)

    I know a set of twin boys named: Storm and Steel. Seriously.

    I don't like place names:  Austin, Montana, Dallas, Denver, etc.

    I also can't stand the Aiden names.  The worst one I've heard is Paden.

    Stripper names: Crystal, Chastity, Destiny, Brittney, Misty

    Any name that is extremely trendy or misspelled.  Changing the spelling of a trendy name does not make it sound any different out loud.  Plus, I know this is judgy, but when I see a youneek name it just makes me think the parents are either uneducated or really young.
