But it certainly does peeve me when people use -son names on girls. Especially Addison, Emerson, etc. Even Allison and Madison bother me for that </3 I used to love Allison, cause I liked the nick name Allie... but the -son part of it bothers me greatly <3
I dislike it when super manly names are used on girls, for the most part. Names like Logan and Peyton I still feel are all completely boy <3
And I dislike trendy names.... Trinity, Neveah, etc.
I dislike Corrine/Corina, Quinn, Sara (though I do like Sarah a little bit), Joseph, Kevin, and Xaviar. Just dislike them... </3 Not everyone seems to love them lol, but I do dislike them.
But for the most part, most names don't really bother me <3 I may dislike them... but I know the next day I might love it so idk haha! I used to greatly dislike Alexandra, but my cousins middle name is Alexandra now and now... love! :')
There is a name or two that I love that no one else likes... but I can't remember what it is! Few seem to like Marley (on a girl), but I can't think of the name I had that I loved that absoluely no one liked... :l Oh well!

So I steer away from all the trendier stuff: Lilly, Madison, Mackenzie, McKenna, Makayla, Addison, Peyton, Cameron, Jordan, Dylan, Markus, Lukas,
Ethan, Riley, Jaden Braedon Heydon Aiden, Emily Emma Emmalee, etc etc etc.
I know that Elaina (this baby's name) isn't unheard of or anything, but it's not one I've heard much over the years, and often spelled Elena, (this is like Elaine- a , not Ellen - a). Same for my other kids - not unheard of, but so far ds is in a school of about four hundred kids and there's no other one with his name in the school. There's no kid with dd's name either, though there are Julias and one Juliet.
Also I like gender obvious names. If a kid later feels that gender doesn't fit with them, they can change their name or alter it. But I like that from hearing the name you know boy or girl, while they're young. When they're older, they can make that child kwim? So I dislike using Jordan, Dylan, Cameron, Jack, etc on girls and a lot of the trendier boy names tend to sound girly to me but none pop to mind right now.

I HATE ... the name Genevieve.
EVERYONE, seems to LOVE it.... I just cannot stand. The way it looks, the pronounciation., just hate it.
I also cant stand the name Sadie.. [sounds like 'sad']
I generally dont like names that sound 'made-up'...
No offence intended to anybody!

I don't really understand why everyone likes...
Elodie (Melody's is nice, but why Elodie???)
Rosalie (Well I guess from Twilight...)
Quinn (It's okay as a middle name)
Oliver (There is only one O name I like--Onnie)
and Elias --eww! Sorry, I just don't like it. I'm not a fan of any ellie/eli names--expect for Elliott, which I do like)
I'm also not a fan of Isabella, Ava and Aidan. Names that end with 'm' kind of bother me too (Adam, William, Miriam...)
Other endings that I don't really love are names that end with 'son' (some I do like, but as a lot of you have said-it ruins the name on a girl!) and lyn/lin (even though my name is Catelin). Lastly, (at least of what I'm thinking of) I too, don't really like the Cora, Corinne or Coralie stuff. Sorry guys.
There are a TON of names I do like though!
Thanks for starting this topic, alaskayoung--it was kind of nice to speak freely on names we dislike. We're learning a lot about each other too. Anyways, that's all!

Elodie (Melody's is nice, but why Elodie???)
Two completely different origins and meanings. Melody is a word and of English origin. Elodie is French and it is a variant of the German name Elodia.
I'm not a fan of trendier names. I might like the name itself, but can't fathom using it because I just remember how much it sucked growing up when you were forever known as Name Initial. So never could you just be Name, you were ALWAYS Name Initial to differentiate. We had a small school and still, four girls in the same grade with my name. Boooo.
So I steer away from all the trendier stuff: Lilly, Madison, Mackenzie, McKenna, Makayla, Addison, Peyton, Cameron, Jordan, Dylan, Markus, Lukas,
Ethan, Riley, Jaden Braedon Heydon Aiden, Emily Emma Emmalee, etc etc etc.
SAME.
I also hate the names:
Abby (fine with Abigail... I guess.)
Most virtue names (Faith, Cadence, Hope, Charity, Destiny, etc. A lot of virtue names cross over to stripper name territory.)
Caitlin (and all it's variants.)
Any names ending in Leigh, as far as spelling goes. Ashleigh, Amberleigh, Hartleigh, Brynleigh whatever. Also, the name Leigh.
Names that start with C being changed to names that start with K (Kaleb, Kaspian, Kole, Kourtney, etc.)
Names like Bryleigh and Haleigh, and Kaylee (Those aren't names, they're just pretty sounds with origin or meaning. Those names sound ridiculous when all of a sudden you're cute little girl is 40.)
Bethany (Blech. Especially the nickname Beth.)

Brayden (But I do like Aiden, and Hayden)
Ashley (It's so common in my generation)
Samantha (Same as Ashley)
Zoe (I never know how to pronounce it)
Cameron, Harper, Parker, or anything extremely unisex (especially when paired with a unisex middle name)

dalton, or any surnames used as a first name really. avery i loathe!!! bridget, mabel, agnes, dorothy,---all these old names coming back i think should be left behind!

& the -son & Mc- names on girls. They're boys names originally & for that reason I wouldn't use them on a girl & because they're now girl names I won't use them on a boy. (There's a Kelsey in the grade below me & he gets tormented for his name sooo much).
Unisex names I'm not a huge fan of, last names as first names (I go to school with an O'Brien. I find that a horrible thing to name your child), & creative spellings. Unless there's a reason for the difference in spelling (Sioux from Sue, after the Indian tribe) leave it be.
I think that's it.

Karly and Jodie are names that strike a chord with me for bad reasons, and I could never like them now.
Quinn and Mackenzie are all in the unisex side that I hate. Bree as well, though it isn't unisex. No idea why, but I can't stand them...
For boys... Elliot... I think that might be it, actually. At least on the level of complete loathing...
... Except maybe Carl...
There are a few others, like Elaina, but only when it's spelt Elena. Though, that could be a gruge against the amount of times I've been called this.
Blade, as well, but only on a girl. Yes, on a girl. I have a friend with that as her middle name, and it bugs the living daylights out of me!
... I think that's it, but I'll probably come up with more if I think about it...

Jaden (any spelling), Braden (any spelling), Braxton, Brecken
Brinley, Tinley, Briley (all spellings), any girl's name that begins with "Anal."
"Creative" spellings.
