HelpNames I personally dislike
- John and Mary (including variants & diminutive forms) - Arguably the most common names ever. After years of overuse, they've gotten boring. It seems they are starting to die out of popularity, likely a result of people being bored of the name and the rise of atheism. These are not bad names though, I'm just bored of them.
- Elizabeth, Isabella and Lisa (including variants & diminutive forms) - I'm also tired of these names, they might be more overused altogether (including variants & diminutive forms) than John and Mary. Again, not bad names, they are just overused.
- Bob - What a boring name, it's been overused in fiction to the point where it has gotten boring, not unlike John, Mary, and Elizabeth/Isabella/Lisa in real life. It's the laziest name you can name a (male) fictional character, so why not give them a more creative name? Anyone who has the name Robert should use the short form Rob instead as it's less common in fiction than Bob. Betty is the female equivalent for me, being overused for female characters in fiction.
- Dick, Gaylord and any other names ruined by changes in the English languages - I feel bad for people who have these names, now that they are associated with profane words and slang. Anyone with the name Richard should use the short form Rich (not Rick as I think it's becoming too closely associated with Rick & Morty).
- Adolf, Donald and any other names ruined by association with people considered evil - Again, I feel bad for people with these names. I think next is Vladimir, because of Putin's poor reputation worldwide.
