And for the girls...
#11:
Harper
I absolutely can't stand this one and I can only hope that it disappears as quickly as it arrived. I could honestly write a whole essay on how much I hate this name, but I'm not going to. I'm just glad that it just isn't in the top 10 anymore.
#27
Hazel
Makes me think of the eye color and of witch hazel.
#32
Nova
Makes me think of novocaine and of PBS. No thanks. If someone is really into space-themed names, then sure, I get that. I still don't care for it.
#34
Madison
Thrilled to see this one losing traction, much like
Harper. The name has always sounded incredibly annoying and bratty to me.
#53
Paisley
Ugly like the pattern. Hate it.
#61
Kinsley
Cutesy and will age poorly, similar to most of the names on this list. Also likely to get mixed up with the boy's name
Kingsley on a constant basis.
#65
Genesis
Tall order naming a kid this.
#92
Brooklyn
Better than naming a kid Bronx, Manhattan, or like Staten Island, but still incredibly tacky. Brook/Brooke is better.
#74
Kennedy
These surnames turned "girl" names are just bizarre. Names like
Kennedy and
Mackenzie are prime examples of that. I don't understand the appeal of naming a kid this, especially for a girl.
#81
Aubrey
Audrey is just better. Sounds nicer too.
#96
Serenity
Tacky and cheap
#100
Raelynn
Sounds like railing.
