Girl: Angel. Every Angel I have ever met has been extremely unintelligent, bitchy, and high on themselves. I am positive that there are 'Angel's' that aren't, but I have yet to meet one. Plus, it's the name of my son's father's new girlfriend. She is 18 years old, works at Hooters, and thinks that it is funny he learned the word "boobies" from her wearing low cut tops.

Boy: Morgan. I have always associated it with girls/women as opposed to men.

Sarai. Only because it's the name of my ex's current girlfriend.

Christina. EVERYBODY has this name.

Angela. I just don't like it, and I've known a couple of nice people with the name.

For boys, I don't know. Chuck, probably, or Colin.

Because I associate these names with horrible people I've known-
Sarah and Michael.

Shari, because I don't like the flow and people have a hard time pronouncing it, and Charles, because I don't like the Ch sound that much, and it sounds like a plural word and I hate all the nicknames.

Chloe or Zoe- they make me think of french poodles with bows in their fur. I also just don't like the sound.

I can't really think of a guy's name I really hate....but I never liked the way Oscar sounds. Plus there's Oscar The Grouch.

Female: Beatrice, Bertha, that kind of thing. I just don't like the way they sound or the images they conjure up (especially Bertha.)

Boys: Wolfgang, Hortense (I actually went to school with one of each.)

That's funny - my maiden name is Hortness. I had neverheard of a Hortense as a first name before.

Any name that take out a vowel are replaces it with another. Do people not realize that "Allyson" will not sound the same as "Allysen"?!

Male: Rusty and Dustin. They're just... ew.
Female: "Mom" names that are no longer really in fashion, except to honor an older member of the family. Like Nancy, Debbie, Patty, Alice. I don't understand how they could ever have been appealing. =\

I hate the names Paul & Paula, Michael & Michaela, Mikayla etc...

I also don't like the trend of taking random words like Rumor, Cadence, or Ember as names.

I also hate Amber, Tiffany, Becky, Nicole, Crystal, Destiny - they sound like stripper names.

I don't like taking OBVIOUS last names as first names either - Fletcher, Tudor, Anderson.

Mikayla, or however you would spell it. I'm not sure why. Probably because I knew a girl in elementry school with that name that I hated. But mostly it just sounds ugly to me.

Don/Ron and Alan. No real reason but they just sound gross to me. I even dated a Don once and while we were dating I had a hard time getting past how much I hated his name.
