Re: What are some names you cant stand.
in reply to a message by Barbie
For boys, can't stand Kevin, Brian, or Bruce. Otherwise my dislikes are more categorical; surnames in general, but particularly dislike them on girls, probably because 95% of them are masculine at root.
Deliberately misspelled names also set my teeth on edge, as do silly fad names, those that usually either contain an X or end in -ley or - leigh. All those names that refuse to acknowledge each baby will spend most of its life as an adult.
And common nouns, or worse adverbs and adjectives, as names, why is that even a thing? And most things people erroneously insist on calling 'unisex' The problem with fad names is they age poorly and soon become dated.
