Name Associations

[notanoptionbaby.livejournal.com]

Do you any of you have names that you would never use simply because of a bad association with them? 
For me they are Mark, Derek, Shawn, Lexi, Karleigh, Collin and Christopher. 
On the other hand, I have a bunch of names that I associate with good memories/people like Brenda, Hans, Harrison, Julie. 
Hopefully that made sense, just thought it would be an interesting discussion!

Bad associations: Chassidy, Jason, formerly Christopher, and now Jeff

Good associations: Helen, Felicity, Annmarie, Natalie, Ian, Paul, Nabeel, Dave, Damien

I used to dislike Christopher because I knew at least three Chrises who were jerks, but then I started fangirling for a bunch of famous Christophers/Chrises who seem like fairly decent guys Christopher Eccleston, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Chris Pine, and Chris Carpenter, so I love it again. Oddly enough, one of the "bad Chrises" was this short, annoying, sneaky, lizard-faced kid who had a handsome, talented, outgoing older brother named Damien---that's where I first heard the name, not in The Omen, which is why I have good associations with Damien/Damian where the rest of the world doesn't.
