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.

If you knew someone in school with a name, I probably don't like it.
We were watching Wheel (ugh) the other day and the contestnt and her husband both had brothers named Michael. This is exactly the issue. And it's really not that nice of a name.

But I'm not a fan of biblical names at all (and not only because they're biblical).

Also, I really am not a fan of Irish names... unless you live in Ireland. Especially the ones with Gaelic spellings. Yurgh.

*grumbles*

I am 100% with you on the Irish names.

I'm so with you on Brayden and Caleb.

Also really don't like Hamish, Wren, Aurora, Jessica, Arabella, Esme, Henry, Norma/Norman and Kenneth.
And finally...names that end in -arla. I don't know why.

I effing hate Lily. I seriously think that it, along with every other Lil name (Lillian, Lilith, whatever else) are some of the ugliest "normal" names ever.

I don't hate Lily (and it's variations), but I don't think it's great either. Every time I see someone is naming/has named their baby that I think, "WHY?! It's not even that good!"

I know some very nice people (and their children) with these names, but that doesn't stop my gag reflex when I think about the name itself.

Oh, gosh, Donald. A duck forever. And its twin brother Ronald, the clown.

I'm totally with you on Payton and Parker. They have about as much personality as, well, the kind of people you find them on.

I didn't even know the name Payton/Peyton before it became trendy in the past few years. It's one of the few names I positively cannot stand, along with Aaliyah.

Oh Ainsley is really grating on my nerves lately, and I know two people who just had babies and named them Ainsley.

I am also not a big fan of occupation names. Taylor, Hunter, Tucker, etc.

Hmm..
There aren't too many names that I really, truly DESPISE, but Liam is one of them. Ughh .. I hate it so much.

For girls, I hate Stella. Ugh. So gross.

Bob and Louise. Bob just seems very goofy and dumb. Ironically, I like Bobby just fine. Louise... something about that last syllable, maybe it's because I'm asthmatic, lol, but I hate that Wheeze sound. Louisa is somewhat more acceptable.
