HelpRe: What names do you feel are “overly” hated?
in reply to a message by Francisinfp5w4
Well, it's hard to say. A lot of trendy names are hated with incredible passion on the board, but that is not indicative of "real life". Obviously those names are pretty well loved elsewhere because they are trendy for a reason.
I agree with Wordsmith that a lot of the names that most people think are the bad kind of old fashioned are hated too easily. It also bothers me when people talk about it as though its just logical to hate them, and they don't understand how anybody can find the sounds attractive. Like, really? Look at all the different kinds of music people listen to. Humans love hearing bizarre sounds. And you can't wrap your head around some people liking the name Mildred?
People freaking out over "boy names on girls" or "stealing names from boys" is over done. Like James on a girl is not my favourite but it's hardly the worst thing in the world.
