I can only think of one at the moment:
Paynen Diaz (Pain in the a**) Though I adore the name, I could never name my kid this.
Lol, I always thought this would be such a funny name when I was younger... and this is why children don't have children

lol!
But most names aren't necessarily BAD. I think most names are just a matter of opinion. However, I personally feel that a name that puts a child out there for teasing, is discriminating, or anything of those sorts, then it definitely is a bad name!
Such as when you look up names that were banned by law to name your children [ie sexfruit, Anus, etc] are all names that are completely unfair for an innocent child to live with. It's
asking for your child to be made fun of, which can cause psychological issues. And being friendless and made fun of is definitely a miserable existence. Everyone has the right for the name they carry to not bring them down so early in life!
Otherwise.. there really aren't BAD names. I grade my opinions of names sometimes, like this is good, awesome, or LOVE IT!! [or dislike, or greatly dislike..]. But I don't think the name is really bad, I just don't care for it!
And certain initials are less fortunate than others. But I don't worry quite as much about initials as I do the name itself. Its easy to hide a middle name, and if you decide not to announce your initials its fine. Of course, if it spelled out one of those four letter words I'd definitely find it bad. But most swears and derogatory words aren't three letters, which is what most people have for initials. Few have four, but more than that... Yeah.
As for what makes a good name-- many things!!!

I think meaningful names are absolutely wonderful! Honoring that family member, literary character, best friend, etc! <3 I personally think its neat when you can look at your name and think back to a wonderful person that you got it from.
I also think if the mum and dad are truly in love with the name, it makes it amazing! Because there's nothing more amazing then finding that perfect name for your little bubby! <3 Something you can picture it growing up with for the rest of its life, and calling it by every day <3
Thats what I currently think. But we'll have to see how that changes throughout time!
