so, insomnia got the better of me last night and I was trawling baby_names, and it got me to thinking about names I used to HATE and I found that I've come to like most of them.
Here are just a few examples to get the ball rolling:

Evelyn (I really like this now!)
Norah (Ditto!)
Eleanor
Emma
Ruth

I still can't like a lot of B names, which is funny because I'm a Bianca. I cringe whenever I see Bethany, or Beatrice, or Briana, or Brenda... Urghh! Especially Bethany for some reason. It's just so ugly to me.

Anyway, what are some of the names you used to HATEHATE and now you like?

EDIT: I'm sorry if this has idea has already been done, but I don't recall coming across it?

I used to hate Harriet, and now it's my favorite name for a girl. I also never really liked Elliot or Henry all that much, and they're two of my favorites for boys.

I don't like many B names, either. I love Beth, but hate Brenda, Briana, Beatrice, etc. Bianca is really pretty, but not one I'd ever use.
