I can't recall what names I hate the most but I do have a few which come into mind because of my love-hate relationship
Beulah derives from Ba'al "owner" "lord" and also "husband" while Beulah has an opposite meaning Beulah means "owned by, possessed by" or "wife" but I consider it awfully misogynistic when you name child Beulah you are implying they are possession belonging to their husband.
Women were viewed as objects or possessions in ancient Israelite society.
I know Beulah is very rarely given to girls nowadays but I can't stand it. It does have a nice sound and specifically is used to reference Isaiah's writing, but it has an even worse meaning in modern Hebrew, Beulah means "a woman who lost her virginity and got "owned" by a man".
I also dislike the name Jude, not because of the sound but because it's spelled exactly like the modern German word Jude meaning "Jew", It reminds me of the yellow stars Jews were forced to wear during the holocaust. Jude doesn't have a bad sound, but I prefer the name Judson.
despite this I do love the names Judette or Judetta, I think they are lovely

I like Jax, and the character in The Amazing Digital Circus has not affected my opinion. However, Jaxxon is a rather excessive spelling. Jaxon or Jackson would suffice.
I like Jerry, but I can agree that it's used a lot on TV along with Bob, Freddy, Joe, and Billy.
I like Taylor. Swift has not affected my opinion.
I like Antonio, I always thought it sounded handsome. I do not associate it with any specific person.
I think Patricia is boring and not that pretty.
I prefer William a lot to Wilhelm.

I can see where you are coming from with these names. Especially Dick, Fanny, and Gaylord.
I can't stand a lot of well loved popular names. Like Charlotte, Lily, Elizabeth, Isabel, Catherine, Caroline, Taylor, Devon, James, Alexander, Sébastien, and Jasper. I'm sure there are more I'm not thinking of right now. I have no specific reason to hate these names, I just do.
