Sean I can live with....But Shawn just seems so....needy. Like you need to spell it out phoenetically for people.

As a kid, did you ever read "Nothing's Fair in Fifth Grade"? The narrator's name is "Jenifer" with one N...although people call her "Jenny" (though I suppose she could've been "Jeni"?) At any rate, it was the one and only time in my childhood - or since, really - that I ever encountered a "Jenifer" and for some reason it's always stuck in my head :-/

[livejournal.com profile] gladly_beyond, them be fightin' words! My name is Joanna Barbara, TWO of your hates! People often tend to call me Jo, which makes me think of either Nancy McKeon in "The Facts of Life" or the sister in Little Women...

Although, in my defense, my parents had a reason...they wanted a name that would be spelled and pronounced exactly the same way in both Polish and English, so their relatives back in the "old country" could relate to the new baby. And, needless to say, there aren't too many names you can do that with... :-/

This goes more for the girl list than the boy (I think), but do you dislike some of those mainly because they are so popular or is it just the name itself? (Emily, Madison, Olivia...)

My name is JoannA...and it's always been a peeve of mine that people tend to assume it's JoannE. Is it really more common or something? *shrugs*

I've met more Joannas than Joannes. Actually, I don't know that I've ever actually met a Joanne.

I'm having twins, and whether they are girls or boys both sets of names are on your list. Hahah.

I don't have access to my lists so I might not make it to 10.

I don't bother with names I'm tired of seeing or bored with. Those aren't worthy of hate imo. Nor do I include bad-association names since those are about the people and not the names. It's just about sounds, meanings, or associations.

Piper
Alexia
Harley
Ripley
Dakota
Nevaeh
Gretchen
Greer

Brock
Tucker
Thatcher
Aiden (this spelling)
Zackery (this spelling)
