Names you're sick of seeing on babies
Are there any names that you're sick of seeing on babies? Either because they're so common, not your style or any other reason?

Sophia/Sofia!! So sick of this name. I don't get why it's so popular. All I think of is a sofa.
I work with a lot of babies and for me it's Amelia/Emelia/Amalia/Amelie. And Cooper, Max, Lucas, Mason for boys

As someone who deals with kids all the time, I am sick to death of names like all the Mc names, Madison, Everly, Oakley/lyn, Harper, Collins, Parker, and most common nouns as names. Enough to make one run screaming.
Harper, Isla, Ayla, Everly (and its variants)Oliver, Max, Finn, George (I love the name, but every under 5 boy's name I here seems to be this)
Isabella, Jackson, Oliver, Thomas, Michael, Olivia, Mia, Aria, John, Chloe, Emily, Luna, James. There's nothing horribly wrong with them, they are just overused.
Probably Luna or Oliver. They're both fine enough names, just massively overdone.
Marie, Sophie/Sophia, Emma, Emilia, Mia, Charlotte, Olivia, Hanna/Hannah, LillyLiam, Noah, Elias, Leon, Finn, Theo
Violet, Ivy, IrisCreative spelling and word names

Collins/Kollins/Kollyns on baby girls. I see this all the time online and its awful. I'm also tired of Charlotte. Its a lovely name, but its a bit overdone.
Oaklyn and Oakley, with any spelling; I detest these names, personally. Also, Lily (it's a very common name, around here), Harper, Everly, Parker (both genders), Milo, and Elliot.
I've only seen it on two babies, but I think it's two too many.
Oaklynn.
How freaking obnoxious.Also, if I never hear some mother whining at her brat "Loooooh-gannnn!" in public it'll be none too soon.
Lily. Mainly because it’s overdone.
I came here to say Lily, too! I love the name, it's actually in my top 10, and that's one of the reasons I wish it was less popular. Although I'm not close to having kids yet, I keep thinking that I would want to name my daughter after a flower and not a trend.
