I agree about Oakley / lyn, Everly, and Banks.
Not into Hadley or Bodhi either, but they don't bother me as much.Mine would be -- if I restrict it to names that are actually pretty popular, and at least somewhat rising, that I dislike more than just "nms":Luna
Nova
SadieTheodore
Luca
Levi
More that seem to be rising (?) that I dislike:
Eloise
Aurora
Juniper
Lorelei / Lorelai etc
Esther
Saylor
Sutton
Sawyer

Jream. I literally don’t get it.

Ha, I've never seen this one. Not that I'm defending it, but interestingly when we say "dream" or anything starting with dr-, we are mostly saying a soft j, like jream. Same with words that start with tr-, we really end up saying a chr- (tree becomes chree, sort of). I had never really thought about this until I took a phonetics class.In some accents it's probably more pronounced than others, which is why it probably makes some sense to whoever invented this name.

Aside from the usual trendy surname-y names that usually don't do it for me, here are some that I just have always disliked that have gained steam:Lucas / Luke / Luca
Owen
Asher
Hudson
Ezekiel - actually shocked this is in the top 50
Cooper
Kai - very surprised this one has stuck around for as long as it has, it was considered celeb-trendy back in like 2005
Camila

FreyaGenerally I personally think the boys have been faring worse than the girls in recent years.

AlyssaI do care for some trendy names, though. For instance I like Riley, Harley, Miley, Max, King, River, Stone, Shiloh, Milo, Kylie, Cadence, Melody, Jasper, Casey, Talia, Charlie, etc.

Maverick. How this gimmicky name continues to climb, I don't understand. In 40 years people will assume the name Rick is short for Maverick, not Richard.

Literally anything that ends with -ley or -lyn.

Ryleigh. I think the "leigh" spelling is a touch obnoxious.

Stetson is #238 in the US, having risen 133 spots from last year. That's more popular than Simon! I think it's really ugly, and I have no clue why it rose so dramatically.
vote up4
Stetson combines two currently popular trends in the States - ending in -on (compare Kashton, Colton...) and surname name (compare Banks, Baylor...). I think the type of hat also played a role regarding the popularity...Either way, there are much better options out there.
