What are some "normal" names you just absolutely can NOT stand for whatever reason? I'm pretty sure most people here hate those trendy names that butcher spellings. Just what are some every day names that you don't like and there's really no changing your mind.

I'm with you on all of these.

[fullcollapse.livejournal.com]

Not sure why, but I can't stand Anthony/Tony/Toni.

[nobodynomore.livejournal.com]

Awww, that's one of my favorite names, even before my husband. I DO think, however, that they need to LOOK like an Anthony for me to like it. If that makes sense.

[deer-lanterns.livejournal.com]

Mark.

[deer-lanterns.livejournal.com]

Ew, yeah, Kevin. It's just gross.

[littlehounddog.livejournal.com]

Caleb, Donald, Michael, Bethany, Peyton, Daniel, Collin, Bobby

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Peyton is incredibly ugly to me. I hate it on both sexes, but it's especially bad on a girl.

Right now 3 people I went to high school with are all having girls and all naming them Addison. Plus there's another 2 who already have daughters named Addison. Ugh..

[soapfaerie.livejournal.com]

Ugh, i hate Addison. Just makes me think of the disease. (I actually commented on that in here just the other day, lol.) I don't like Madison either, tho i know a TON of ppl who named their girl Madison. Even my cousin. Meh.

I've always thought McKenzie was awful. It's slightly cuter when they go by Kenzie, but not much.

[littlehounddog.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, definitely Makayla!

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

Oh, and can't forget Colton! BLECH!

[let-letitbe.livejournal.com]

I share the hate on Colton. My high school's mascot was the Colts, so anytime I see a Colton from our area I think that his parents were just crazy over our football team.

[frost.livejournal.com]

There are a lot of names I don't like but here are some of my big dislikes:

Elizabeth. Omg, I absolutely hate this name.
Jessica, Jennifer, Britney, Stephanie, Amanda, Tiffany, Brooke, Kendall, Barbara, Martha, Agatha, Deborah, Michelle, Katrina, Diane/a, Tammy.
Ashley. I loathe this name on girls, but, for some reason, I don't mind it on boys.
Stuart, Bruce, Dick, Dennis, Robert, Bob, Bill, Greg, Larry, Leland, Nate, Patrick, Steven, Trevor, Victor.
Addison and Madison. I used to love both back when I was a kid, they were still boys' names, and were little used.
Okay, I'll stop there. ^_^

Addison (a disease)
Amanda (or any name that ends in DUH)


Damien (the devil)
Brayden (my absolute most detested name in the history of time)

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

I hate Amelia, too. I think we are in the minority, especially here.

[becomingun.livejournal.com]

Kyle is a name for a 4-year-old, not an adult
Jessica
Katie/Kate/Katherine
William

[thejoysofjess.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I really hate the name William too. It's the Will-YUM pronunciation most people give it that just grates on my ears.
