Are there any normal (so not U'Neeq, Cre8tyve, etc) names that you just don't like for one reason or another?

For me, names that might generally be considered close to my 'style' of names that I don't like are:
William (but I like Liam)
Joshua
Jacob
Jackson
Mitchell
Jordan (for either sex)
Madison
Addison (but I like it on a boy!)
Ashleigh
Lauren
Sarah
and almost anything ending in -lyn

Reason? Many of these are names of kids I have taught. Usually, a bad kid will tarnish a decent name for me. It's annoying.

I think I really like the names Silas and Elias, but I'm always sure I am going to pronounce them wrong, so they make me really self-conscious. They also seem vaguely sexual and if someone can explain to me how or why that is, I'd appreciate it.

Hahahaha, I have no idea, but that's a really funny/interesting reaction to have to a name.

Oh I thought you were going to say you hate those names and I was nooo, how can anybody hate them! :>) Can't help you on the pronunciation because I pronounce them the way the are pronounced here up North and I don't know if you want to hear that or the way the are pronounced in English speaking countries.
