[Opinions] Least favorite names
My least favorite name for a girl is Sheryl or Heidi, and for a boy it is Messiah. What about you?

Gertrude, Agnes, Astrid, Millicent, Charlotte, Clara, Nancy - I know vintage names are all the rage again and while I have exceptions, for the most part I'm not a fan.
I agree with you on all of these except Clara. I like Clara and always have.
I can't stand Paisley, Kinsley or Logan (either gender)
Thank you! I know a guy his daughter's name is Kinsley. It's not a name I would use.I met a little girl recently that her name was Paisley it suited her well. But still not my cup of tea.And I know two or three boys name Logan and a couple girls named Logan. All under the age of 12. Just seems more as an unisex name now.

I dislike a bunch of names usually they are the common names mostly. Mine would be...Abigail and CharlottePeter and Felix and Daniel
Oh wow I found the other person who doesn't like Charlotte! lol
Yeah I have never really liked Charlotte! I always thought that the Spider in Charlotte's Web should have been named something better! Lol!
I also don't like Charlotte.
Same for me
Dang, my mom's name is Heidi.My least favorite girl names are Greer and Olga. I agree that Messiah is awful for a boy, and I also hate Cooper and Banks.
I hate Matthew a lot and I have for decades. Kyle is quickly becoming a hated name for me too. For a girl, my hated names used to be Elsa and Elsie, but my disgust towards both is really calming down. I'm almost indifferent towards them now.I'm starting to truly despise Logan on a girl. I used to not care, but I keep seeing it everywhere and the randomness of it is really off-putting.
I also despise Logan for a girl.
There's probably a lot of names I hate, especially less popular names, e.g. I dislike Larissa but I don't come across it very often so the feeling didn't have time to grow. There is, however, one name I absolutely loathe. And it's Bella. It's a hatred spanning probably at least twenty years, and as you can imagine it had plenty of opportunities to grow because I was seeing it a lot during that time. And every time I see the name a shiver runs down my spine.I am still trying to work on it but it's slow going. I came to like Isabel and I kind of tolerate Isabella now, but Bella is still hideous to me.
Cooper, Campbell, Gerald, Kellen, Beau, Ryker, Kirby, Kimber, Naomi, Bethany, Chastity, Donaldina, Kinsley, Gracelyn, Cadance

If least favorite means "I don't like these", then: Gertrude, Heather, Ainsley, Gretel, Flannery, Flannigan, Hortense, Horace, Boris, Doris, Oral, Diggory, Ulysses, Ursula, Hetty, Norville, Orville, Neville, etc.
