HelpWhat name is becoming popular that you don’t care for?
Replies
Wren, Lark in fact pretty much all 'word' names.
I thought I was the only one that doesn’t like Jack and Owen!!
I don't like Owen either.
Especially bad on a girl.
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
Sadie
Theodore
Luca
Levi
More that seem to be rising (?) that I dislike:
Eloise
Aurora
Juniper
Lorelei / Lorelai etc
Esther
Saylor
Sutton
Sawyer
Lennon
Collins
Lyric
Felix
Hudson
Cooper
Brooks
Walker
Milo
Tate
Onyx

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
Naomi
Freya
Generally I personally think the boys have been faring worse than the girls in recent years.

All of those you named and some that others have said:
Rory
Sloane
Aurora
Rory
Blakely
Stevie
Delaney
Emery
Emerson
Maxton
Kashton
Kash or Cash
Bexley
Brixley
Zade
Bailey
Alyssa
I 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.

Ryleigh. I think the "leigh" spelling is a touch obnoxious.
Becoming popular, so not popular yet? Out of the top 50?
