Give some opinions what you dislike of those names-- haha this is a fun idea, no hard feelings to those who are named below...

---

Sharon: Bigtime Boomer energy
Rose: The meaning is nice, but it's not very substantial and has both an R and an S, which are letters many people struggle to pronounce.
Chloe: Shouldn't there be an umlaut?
Vanessa: This is the villain from The Little Mermaid
Miranda: Rhymes with "veranda"
Lucy: Loosey goosey
Zoe: Zoe is life, which is dope, but again, what happened to the umlaut?
Agatha: Hagatha or $wagatha?
Gabriella: See High School Musical 1, 2, and 3
Rosita: I immediately thought of Rosarita beans...
Jessica: The Love is Blind cast member who gave her dog wine
Annie: this is an orphan's name. Give it to your child at your own peril.
Claire: Claire Bear, Clairenette
Tara: More like TARA-ble (terrible)
Emma: This name sounds exactly like saying the letter M
Mia: Me, me, me... Mia is self-centered
Ava: It's run its course. Time to retire.

---

Michael: The worst boss ever from Dunder Mifflin
Mike: Bike, trike, mike... all things you can ride :o
David: Ew, David!
Ryan: Ryan started the fire!
Kevin: The only thing worse than Kevin is the nickname Kev
Daniel: Infinitely better than Dan or Danny, but 99% of guys with this name will go by a nickname
Gabriel: Impossible to live up to the expectations set in the birth story of Jesus

I only left the ones I dislike.

---

Chloe - sounds like cloying

Jessica - Harsh -ca ending

---

Michael- Needs a generation or two break. Way, way too common

Girls
Sharon - Dated and stuffy
Rose - Classic, feminine. I like it.
Chloe - Seems childish to me.
Vanessa - I'm neutral on this name.
Miranda - I'm neutral on this name.

Agatha - Stuffy, frumpy, old.
Gabriella - It's okay.
Rosita - It's okay.

Ava Don't like.

---

Michael/ Mike: too old and bland
David: It's alright, but too old and hate nn Dave.
Ryan: It's fine, very attactive.
Kevin: Don't like, too smarmy.

Gabriel: I like it.

I'm going to comment on all, I put the ones from your list I actually dislike in italics.

---

Sharon - I don't care for it but I also don't really dislike it
Rose - good name, a bit bland and not very interesting but sweet
Chloe - I find it a bit clunky and I think I just got fed up with it when it shot up in popularity a while back
Vanessa - nice enough, not really my style but it's quite elegant
Miranda - I like it a lot, the only thing that's not ideal about it to me is that it's a bit serious and long and I don't really like any nicknames for it
Lucy - love it, it's perfect, my favourite name for the last twenty years
Zoe - meh, it's just very boring but it's not bad
Agatha - I like it, it's dusty in a quite endearing way
Gabriella - I don't like it but I don't really dislike it. I prefer Gabrielle.
Rosita - I think there are so many better "Rose" names, I'm just not very fond of the -ita ending
Jessica - I like it, it's pretty and happy
Annie - great name, sweet and soft
Claire - it's just ok
Tara - I find it abrasive
Emma - lovely, I like it a lot
Mia - it's definitely lacking something but it's not terrible
Ava - I don't really like it but it's not too terrible

---

Michael - it's a nice name, not very remarkable
Mike - I prefer it as a nn for Michael but it's fairly fun
David - very bland but still nice
Ryan - again I find it boring, I don't even care for it enough to have much of an opinion
Kevin - I feel about it the same way I feel about David
Daniel - another boring name but a bit prettier than the others on this list
Gabriel - I like it the least from the names on this list but it's ok
