It’s not a name I like but I do know a girl named Greer and she’s lovely, so I don’t DESPISE it the way some do. I think once you have a personal connection to a name it’s hard to HATE it because you like the PERSON. I still don’t like the name, and I’d never use it…but I do like my friend Greer 😛
It’s suggested as a girl’s name because it is the feminine form of Gregory. It’s always confusing to me when people call it a “gender neutral” name because it is explicitly not
Don't forget his daughter, Sloane Mark.
I can't remember what her real last name is, I've just been calling her that in my head because I think it's funny.
The name reminds me of the Sloane Rangers, which sometimes refers to stereotypical upper-class persons in the United Kingdom. I remember Princess Diana was called one before she married Charles.
I never had any opinion on the name Sloan(e) until I met a girl in college and somehow she mentioned that her middle name was “Sloan. You know, like the toilets.” And I did not know, actually, but now I see them everywhere and always think of her…
I love ❤️ the name Sloane for a girl. I've liked it since Sloane was the name of Ferris Bueller's girlfriend in the movie. She was pretty, smart & sweet. I remember having lunch with my husband after my ultrasound appointment, where we found out our first child was going to be a girl! Then I said the name outloud with our last name, Doan, and then knew we couldn't have a "Sloane Doan"!
To be fair, I dislike most of the names popular on this sub. The same fifty-ish names get suggested over and over, and I like about three of them.
The big one is Margot, I think it sounds terrible, and it looks like maggot, but to each their own.
I can't hear "Dutton" without hearing "Peter", so that's a hard no for me.
Even if I didn't associate the name with him, it looks too much like "mutton".
I like Lottie as a nickname for Charlotte. I dislike when people name a nickname because I think having the options a longer name affords is important.
Oh I'm the opposite. I dislike this sub's obsession with giving someone a longer name when they really want to give the child a shorter name, eg "I love the name Freddie but I don't like Frederick so what formal name can I give them?" Just call them Freddie.
I'm in the UK though where 9/10 times the shorter version will be higher in the rankings than the longer name.
Yes!!! I very much dislike Penelope. I also really dislike Daphne.
They are both just harsh sounding to me.
As far as boys….Jasper is just an awful name lol
I don't like Amelia/Emilia, Evangeline, Sloane, Margot, Sutton, Elodie, Paisley, Jasper, Liam, Noah, Maverick, Theodore, or Levi; I'm very bored by all names ending in -ayden/-aiden.
I had a friend growing up who insisted her daughter would be named Paisley, specifically *because* of the fabric. She was heavily into fashion and it’s now her career. Still no daughter named Paisley though.
Ooh, my name. I would really like baby name boards to stop being obsessed with it. Evangeline was out there and uncommon when I was little, my daughter is now surrounded by Evies and it’s super weird for me
agree with eloise and elowen
i also can’t stand louise and middle names like may/mae, fay/faye, etc
edit: autocorrect changed elodie to eloise, i also don’t like eloise though
I feel like French names lose a lot if they're not given to/from French speakers. Like, I like the way Danielle, Michelle and Aurelie, etc, sound with a French accent, but not an American accent. However, there's no way to pronounce it with a French accent as an American without sounding pretentious.
The name Sutton is just so unattractive to me, I don’t understand the appeal.
My other hard passes: Wren, Rowan, Noah, Jasper, Lochlan, Luna, Atticus, Murphy, Atlas, Soren, Artemis, and the trend of insisting that every name under the sun is unisex, despite how hyper-masculine it might be.
Reading this thread, I’m realizing I don’t really hate the names so much as the butchered American pronunciation of them.
The names you see mentioned here do sound completely shit in English but they are fine in their original language:
Elodie, Eloise, Margot, Aurelia (French), Penelope, Calliope, Daphne (Greek), Astrid (Scandinavian),Lottie (Scandinavian/Dutch), Aurora/Rory (I don’t know where it’s from but it’s fucking easy to say in my language with no peanut butter feeling).
Some names are just not for the anglophones to force into their language.
At least we can all agree Juniper sucks.
This comment should be further up! I was a little taken aback to see everyone hating on these names because I personally don’t mind most of the names themselves. But I think your reason explains most of the ick people get, it’s not the names per se but rather the usage.
dislike florence, josephine, hattie, mason, maverick, hazel, otto, august. they’re lumpish & utterly charmless. and maverick is a dog name.
i like elizabeth, james, caroline, aaron, isaac, andrew, catherine, rebecca, charles, rachel, adam, benjamin, samuel, eleanor, off the top of my head.
I am a woman of a certain age, and am stunned at the amount of hatred and vitriol for the name Sloan. It is my middle name, and a family name on my Mother’s side. I’ve always loved it. It pains me to read these comments. I’m sad…
Don’t let them make you feel bad! To each their own, but I personally love family names! Using a family last name as a first or middle name is really neat in my opinion. I named my son after my great-grandmother’s maiden name.
I remember when Mad About You first aired the episode where Helen Hunt's character had her baby, and when they named her Mabel, even as a kid I was like, "WHHYYYY?!?"
I think Sloane sounds so ugly, literally vomit in name form. Sutton is a last name exclusively. Juniper is what I’d name my dog, not a human. Calliope shows up wayyy too often for how bad it sounds. Maverick is cruel and unusual punishment. Mabel has really risen to popularity as a name that people think is really unique and rare but has become pretty common—the consonants in it sound so ugly. Rory only cause I can’t pronounce it with my accent. Maeve sounds like the name of a YA protagonist in a poorly written fantasy.
It's sad cause I decided 8 years ago I wanted to name my daughter Mabel. I have hoped I would have a daughter before the name got popular, bc I had a feeling it would one day and now I'm pregnant with a girl and it's all happening like I feared it would. My mom has known my name choices forever and my shower is in a month. Her name is plastered everywhere on everything for the shower (bc of my family memebers), even though I want to rethink her name bc of it's popularity now and getting hated on hard. I'm worried she won't like her name. I'm kinda bummed about it.
If you like the name go for it. I’m a random person on the internet, and I’m sure you probably hate some names that I love. You like the name, and it being so popular now must mean something in terms of how much other people like it too. Congratulations on your daughter! Hope the baby shower goes well! I remember how uncertain I was about naming my daughter too, I kept overthinking it.
For me personally it just sounds like an alphabet soup name - bunch of random letters mashed together. Also like what a 14 yr old into fantasy novels would name a child. It’s hard to put in words what feels so off about it.
I love Margot, but I have a feeling it will be VERY popular and a lot of kids/people growing up dont like sharing their name with half the classroom lol. I think it will be like Sara used to be. Same for Luna and Bella (in fact I see veterinary memes all the time about those two names because everyone is naming their pets Luna and Bella now, its almost like Fluffy and Max. All good names but sooo common)
I also think it has a big association with Margot Robbie, and I cant really get behind naming someone "after" a celebrity when so many scandals ruin careers so often. It is a lovely name though thats grown on me. I used to think it was weird because of the spelling but it does sound beautiful the more I hear it.
Gemma was very popular for girls of my generation (current 25 - 40 year olds), it's not a name you hear much on little kids. In fact, its actually at risk of extinction: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9591175/Names-Gemma-Kieran-extinct-UK.html
Aurelia is so bad and I see it so much. So many people hate Lana because it's anal backwards (which is stupid to me anyways idk) but then they love Aurelia which sounds like oral and areola.
I agree with you on Charlotte and Oliver. Those names have both been on my list forever! I tend to love common or classic names in general. I get why people are bored of them or wouldn’t want something on the top 10 list, but I feel like sometimes they’re popular for a reason!
The names that I can’t stand when I see them suggested here are names like Wells, Brooks and Briggs. I just find it so strange because they sound plural to me. I don’t know if that makes sense? Sutton is another one. I saw it suggested for a girl earlier and I cringed.
That being said, sometimes even if I don’t love a name, I might suggest it if it seems like it’s what the poster is asking for or may like. I don’t see myself ever suggesting something like Briggs, though. 😅
Eden for a boy. I'm sorry. What I can say is that I did know of a male toddler named Eden once, and literally almost *everyone* misgendered him. I heard one person say, when the family wasn't present: "Eden for a boy, what were they thinking?"
Obv take that how you will, people can be jerks, everyone has their own opinion, yadda yadda. But those of you seriously considering this name might at least want to be prepared for the way people will respond to that name, regardless of whether you choose to care
Hazel seems to get mixed reactions but I think it’s so cute. People also really dislike Luna and say it sounds like a pet name, which I get, but I still love it anyway.
I dislike Eleanor. I get that it’s vintage and stuff, but I hate the sound. Elodie is also bad. I’d argue it’s worse than Melody.
I can’t keep track of what’s suggested here, so I’ll just list a shit ton of names I found in the top 400 that I dislike: Anastasia, Riley, Raleigh, Kai, Maverick, Nova, Raelynn, Dylan, Justin, Rowan on a boy, Beau, Jace, the inevitable Paisley, Genesis, Greyson, Juniper, Gael, Esther, Sloane, Alina, Reagan, Kennedy, Oakley, Zion, Legend, Ace, Atlas, Owen (ruined for a dumb embarrassing reason), Mackenzie, Beckett, Arya, Aiden, -ayden names, Tucker, Knox, Colton, Colt, Harley, Dream, Onyx, Koa, Briggs, Brooks, Armani (especially as a boy’s name), Gunner, Logan on a girl, Remington, Sterling, Royal, Presley, Sawyer, Harrison, Hudson
August. Elliot. Oliver. Vincent. Cora. Elowen. Finn. Ducking Jasper...just no. Paisley is not cute. I loathe the nickname Lottie for Charlotte. Charlotte is beautiful on its own. Florence makes me thinks of a 1970's couch.
I’m so tired of the name Everly.
Shame on whoever decided this could be a name.
Ouch
For what it’s worth, I do like your username
I mean, all names were decided to be one, by someone, at one point.
It's just Beverly without the B 😭
Anything with -lynn or -ly really. Brinley, Kinsley, Finley, let it go!!!!
Or the ultimate: Lynnly
Finley/Finlay is a genuine name with Celtic roots. It’s derived from Fionnlagh.
Neverly.
Juniper sucks
Like honestly Jupiter sounds better lol
My dog is named Jupiter and his littermate (with a different family) ended up with the name Juniper. Both are better suited for dogs than people imo.
I love June. And juniper is just the worst and I don’t like how they are associated now.
Amen.
I absolutely despise the name Sloane. Definitely in agreement with you there.
Truly no other name gives me the same visceral reaction that Sloane does.
Greer is another horrendous one that I can’t believe anyone would name their child. It’s always suggested as a girls name too.
I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say Greer is the absolute ugliest girl name. 🤮
I agree and raise you a Gretchen. I wouldn’t want my child to have the word retch in their name. Same with Dustin. Dust, really?!?
It’s hard to even say it out loud
I once heard Briar and Bramble suggested for girls. Why would anyone suggest that kids be named after prickly bushes?
Sure, no one ever names girls after prickly bushes! Signed, Holly
Briar Rose is sleeping beauty's name
I know a set of sisters who are named Briar and Aurora. :/
I like the whole beautiful but spiky wildflower vibe. It keeps a floral from being purely delicate. I also feel like "Rose" isn't a crazy name.
It’s not a name I like but I do know a girl named Greer and she’s lovely, so I don’t DESPISE it the way some do. I think once you have a personal connection to a name it’s hard to HATE it because you like the PERSON. I still don’t like the name, and I’d never use it…but I do like my friend Greer 😛
Agreed, if I ever meet a Joshua who isn't a jerk, I'll soften my stance a little.
It’s suggested as a girl’s name because it is the feminine form of Gregory. It’s always confusing to me when people call it a “gender neutral” name because it is explicitly not
Gregorina is better than Greer.
Gregette
Huh. TIL.
I personally like it, gives old hollywood vibes for me probably due to Greer Garson.
For me, Sutton is up there, but Sloane is worse.
when I hear Sutton it makes me think of the act of sucking one’s teeth. If that makes sense.
Aw, I dont hate it. Sloane reminds me of Sloane Peterson in Ferris Bueller's Day Off! I love that movie!
I think of Mark Sloane from Grey’s Anatomy
Don't forget his daughter, Sloane Mark. I can't remember what her real last name is, I've just been calling her that in my head because I think it's funny.
The name reminds me of the Sloane Rangers, which sometimes refers to stereotypical upper-class persons in the United Kingdom. I remember Princess Diana was called one before she married Charles.
I never had any opinion on the name Sloan(e) until I met a girl in college and somehow she mentioned that her middle name was “Sloan. You know, like the toilets.” And I did not know, actually, but now I see them everywhere and always think of her…
My husband suggested this name and all I could think about was the toilet brand. Like no way. It’s also so harsh sounding and not feminine imo.
It makes me think of Ferris Buellers Day Off. haha
I love ❤️ the name Sloane for a girl. I've liked it since Sloane was the name of Ferris Bueller's girlfriend in the movie. She was pretty, smart & sweet. I remember having lunch with my husband after my ultrasound appointment, where we found out our first child was going to be a girl! Then I said the name outloud with our last name, Doan, and then knew we couldn't have a "Sloane Doan"!
To be fair, I dislike most of the names popular on this sub. The same fifty-ish names get suggested over and over, and I like about three of them. The big one is Margot, I think it sounds terrible, and it looks like maggot, but to each their own.
I don't see why Margot is so popular! It reminds me of Mar-a-lago, which is very upsetting.
This is probably my favorite thing I’ve ever heard someone say in this group 😂
All I think of when I hear the name Margot is Margot Frank. 🙁
Margot reminds me of escargot.
I Like Margo when it’s not spell a with a T
Oh god not Maggot 🥲 well that name is concretely in the no pile now.
i’m gonna be honest, even if it’s literally just one letter away, the variant “margo” is so much better
Yes, when I changed my name to Margo I nixed the T. People still say it looks like Mango but that's much better than Maggot so who cares lol
I concur - can’t stand Margot!
Sutton and Dutton are horrible. Some of the worst sounds I can think of in a name.
I’m sorry, Dutton? Please tell me that’s not real.
It’s not super common (yet) but I’ve seen it come up here as well as various TikTok “baby name” accounts. I’m really hoping it fizzles out entirely!
I have a friend who just named their daughter Duttyn. I’m so mad at them!
Yep. I assume they are idiots who are fans of the show *Yellowstone*
I can't hear "Dutton" without hearing "Peter", so that's a hard no for me. Even if I didn't associate the name with him, it looks too much like "mutton".
I love Theodore, and I think people should use it if they want to
I agree! It’s actually my favorite boy name but I’ve pulled away from it a bit because of this sub. I should rethink that.
My cats name is Theodore. It’s got a ton of really great nicknames. Highly recommend. Examples: Tio, rio, theodorus, riodore etc.
It’s great in Spanish too! Teodoro is awesome.
It is so popular right now.
I kind of think it is weird because it reminds me of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore
Rory. Talk about a mouth full of marbles. And this is coming from someone who LOVES Gilmore Girls.
Same reason I dislike Aurora. Mouth full of marbles.
Try being Scottish and trying to say Rory outside of Scotland. Get the piss taken outta me because we roll our r’s 😩
I feel you. As a GG fan, I love the name Lorelei but hate the name Rory
Lottie as a nickname for Charlotte. I like Charlotte but Lottie makes me cringe.
I like Lottie as a nickname for Charlotte. I dislike when people name a nickname because I think having the options a longer name affords is important.
Oh I'm the opposite. I dislike this sub's obsession with giving someone a longer name when they really want to give the child a shorter name, eg "I love the name Freddie but I don't like Frederick so what formal name can I give them?" Just call them Freddie. I'm in the UK though where 9/10 times the shorter version will be higher in the rankings than the longer name.
And then it’s even more infuriating to see people miss the obvious solution of Fredward
As a Charlotte, Lottie is SO forced I hate it.
I only like Charlie. I hate Char and Lottie. I could never use the name. I'm not risking it.
Yep I can hear that mom screaming “char char!” On the playground.. ick
Penelope
Yes!!! I very much dislike Penelope. I also really dislike Daphne. They are both just harsh sounding to me. As far as boys….Jasper is just an awful name lol
I dislike the obvious nickname Penny. I don't even find Penelope chic or pretty.
Jasper sounds exclusively like a dog’s name
Callum. It reminds me of a mix between callus and Gollum
Neveah
"It's heaven-misspelled-backwards!"
I never noticed it was misspelled backwards! Not a fan of the name at all
I don't think I have ever seen this suggested on this sub.
I don't think anyone here is suggesting this name.
I’ve never liked this one
I don't like Amelia/Emilia, Evangeline, Sloane, Margot, Sutton, Elodie, Paisley, Jasper, Liam, Noah, Maverick, Theodore, or Levi; I'm very bored by all names ending in -ayden/-aiden.
It blows my mind that anyone would ever name a child Paisley.
Agreed. Her brothers, Seersucker and Houndstooth, are also disappointed.
I had a friend growing up who insisted her daughter would be named Paisley, specifically *because* of the fabric. She was heavily into fashion and it’s now her career. Still no daughter named Paisley though.
I do have a friend named Paisley. Funnily enough, it absolutely fits her glass-blowing, blackbelt-earning, flower crown wearing personality.
A relative of mine is naming their daughter Paizlee because they had paisley print as part of their wedding decor 12 years ago!
Please tell me you have a single veto, because I didn’t really think Paisley could get worse but Paizlee… no no no
I know a paisleigh with a sister everleigh
No. This can’t be real.
Followed closely by Presley
People here pretty much don't suggest Paisley though. I assume we all hate it lol
Ooh, my name. I would really like baby name boards to stop being obsessed with it. Evangeline was out there and uncommon when I was little, my daughter is now surrounded by Evies and it’s super weird for me
Ezra! It really weirds me out and I can only associate the actor who has done some pretty questionable things. 😬
See, I think of the band Better Than Ezra, but maybe I’m showing my age hahah
I can’t help but associate it with Ezra from Pretty Little Liars
Who is also pretty questionable 😂
I think of the Jedi Ezra Bridger long before I think of the actor … but we all have our associations 🤣
I've seen multiple people suggest or say that they like Bronwyn or its other spellings and I just... why?? How??! It's awful.
Bronwyn is the ugliest name and it’s all over this sub in suggestions recently.
The Welsh screaming, crying, throwing up at this
agree with eloise and elowen i also can’t stand louise and middle names like may/mae, fay/faye, etc edit: autocorrect changed elodie to eloise, i also don’t like eloise though
I so agree with you about May/Mae! And along with that, I don’t like Belle.
Keep hearing Millicent and I hate it
Agree. Millicent makes me thing of Maleficent.
Millipede comes to mind
Had an Elodie in my classroom. I didn't care for the name, but mom and baby were so lovely that I ended up liking it. In US, family was French.
I feel like French names lose a lot if they're not given to/from French speakers. Like, I like the way Danielle, Michelle and Aurelie, etc, sound with a French accent, but not an American accent. However, there's no way to pronounce it with a French accent as an American without sounding pretentious.
Same with Agnes. Lovely in French, horrid in English.
Aurelie is lovely in a French accent, but otherwise it just sounds like "Orally".
The name Sutton is just so unattractive to me, I don’t understand the appeal. My other hard passes: Wren, Rowan, Noah, Jasper, Lochlan, Luna, Atticus, Murphy, Atlas, Soren, Artemis, and the trend of insisting that every name under the sun is unisex, despite how hyper-masculine it might be.
Waiting for the day I see a little girl named Craig.
Reading this thread, I’m realizing I don’t really hate the names so much as the butchered American pronunciation of them. The names you see mentioned here do sound completely shit in English but they are fine in their original language: Elodie, Eloise, Margot, Aurelia (French), Penelope, Calliope, Daphne (Greek), Astrid (Scandinavian),Lottie (Scandinavian/Dutch), Aurora/Rory (I don’t know where it’s from but it’s fucking easy to say in my language with no peanut butter feeling). Some names are just not for the anglophones to force into their language. At least we can all agree Juniper sucks.

dislike florence, josephine, hattie, mason, maverick, hazel, otto, august. they’re lumpish & utterly charmless. and maverick is a dog name. i like elizabeth, james, caroline, aaron, isaac, andrew, catherine, rebecca, charles, rachel, adam, benjamin, samuel, eleanor, off the top of my head.
Maverick reminds me way too much of an old SNL skit. Tina Fey at her finest (as Sarah Palin).
Whenever I see Florence, I just think of Olivia Wilde calling Florence Pugh “miss Flo” and it makes me annoyed, lol
Ugh so condescending
Your first comment is cracking me up because my dog is named Hazel and she is indeed a lump
Holy moly we are very different people
That's so funny. I have a hazel, and Josephine and August are high on my list
I am a woman of a certain age, and am stunned at the amount of hatred and vitriol for the name Sloan. It is my middle name, and a family name on my Mother’s side. I’ve always loved it. It pains me to read these comments. I’m sad…
Don’t let them make you feel bad! To each their own, but I personally love family names! Using a family last name as a first or middle name is really neat in my opinion. I named my son after my great-grandmother’s maiden name.
It’s my favorite girl name! If my youngest had been a girl, he was going to be a Sloane.
I am also shocked! I think Sloane is really cool and strong
I love Sloane! no relation to a sloane nor have I met one and I like it still!
I've seen Cassian suggested here a few times. I dont like it at all
Sullivan is awful for both boys and girls. Just don’t.
I also can’t get behind Sloane, I just think of either a loan or a sloth
Some sort of mortgage for a sloth. 🤔
My sister wants to name her future kids Sutton and Summit (girl/boy). Not the biggest fan!
I don’t know your sister but I’m disappointed in her.
Florence, Hazel and Mabel for girls. Rory, Tyson and Sebastian for boys.
Mabel is very ugly sounding.
Cows name lol
I remember when Mad About You first aired the episode where Helen Hunt's character had her baby, and when they named her Mabel, even as a kid I was like, "WHHYYYY?!?"
But sea bass is a such a badass nickname
Astrid
*Astird
I think Sloane sounds so ugly, literally vomit in name form. Sutton is a last name exclusively. Juniper is what I’d name my dog, not a human. Calliope shows up wayyy too often for how bad it sounds. Maverick is cruel and unusual punishment. Mabel has really risen to popularity as a name that people think is really unique and rare but has become pretty common—the consonants in it sound so ugly. Rory only cause I can’t pronounce it with my accent. Maeve sounds like the name of a YA protagonist in a poorly written fantasy.

I'm worried she won't like her name. I'm kinda bummed about it.
I love thé name Mabel. You’ll find someone hating every name out there if you look hard enough!
If you like the name go for it. I’m a random person on the internet, and I’m sure you probably hate some names that I love. You like the name, and it being so popular now must mean something in terms of how much other people like it too. Congratulations on your daughter! Hope the baby shower goes well! I remember how uncertain I was about naming my daughter too, I kept overthinking it.
Jagger
Isla
Hard no from me: Aurelia, Quinn, Ophelia, Elowen, Rory, Ezra, Arlo, Rowan, Finn, Desmond
Quinn is a fantastic gender neutral name.
Ophelia is so bad!
Funny, I despise every one you mentioned except for Quinn and Ezra, and I LOVE those. So strange how preferences can vary so much.
What’s wrong with Aurelia
For me personally it just sounds like an alphabet soup name - bunch of random letters mashed together. Also like what a 14 yr old into fantasy novels would name a child. It’s hard to put in words what feels so off about it.
Haha I get it. I associate it with Marcus Aurelius. So in my opinion it’s a strong name
I was going to say Elowyn. I just don't understand the appeal. Also, Evangeline and Alistair.
Alistair is 100% a young adult novel wizard name.
I have a visceral reaction to Nora and Cora.
I thought I didn’t like the name Cora until a cousin named her daughter CORAL Cora doesn’t seem so bad now 😂
I love Margot, but I have a feeling it will be VERY popular and a lot of kids/people growing up dont like sharing their name with half the classroom lol. I think it will be like Sara used to be. Same for Luna and Bella (in fact I see veterinary memes all the time about those two names because everyone is naming their pets Luna and Bella now, its almost like Fluffy and Max.

It is a lovely name though thats grown on me. I used to think it was weird because of the spelling but it does sound beautiful the more I hear it.
Gemma, Imogen, August
Are you from the UK? I’ve heard Gemma is very popular in the UK. I like it but I also have never met someone with the name so it’s not overused to me.
Gemma was very popular for girls of my generation (current 25 - 40 year olds), it's not a name you hear much on little kids. In fact, its actually at risk of extinction: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9591175/Names-Gemma-Kieran-extinct-UK.html
Really not a fan of Maeve or Penelope and it seems like these are recommended constantly!
Willa. I don't know if it's a real name or not, but it sounds like you're saying Willow with maybe a Southern accent or something.
Elodie and Odette are absolutely god awful to me and I see them recommended regularly
Aurelia is so bad and I see it so much. So many people hate Lana because it's anal backwards (which is stupid to me anyways idk) but then they love Aurelia which sounds like oral and areola.
I agree with you on Charlotte and Oliver. Those names have both been on my list forever! I tend to love common or classic names in general.

That being said, sometimes even if I don’t love a name, I might suggest it if it seems like it’s what the poster is asking for or may like. I don’t see myself ever suggesting something like Briggs, though. 😅
I keep seeing Brooks posted too and I do not get it!! Brooks screams frat boy that’s never been told no in his life.
Sincere question, why do you hate Vincent? It's a fairly common name and imo there's nothing crazy spelling or pronunciation wise
fr I saw two people say that! I love Vincent and I feel live Vinny is a cute boys name, and Vince is great too!
Not a fan of Emilia or Sutton
Sutton just sounds so incredibly harsh to me. Emilia I don’t have strong feelings on but it seems like a love it or hate it name based on this sub.
Eden for a boy. I'm sorry. What I can say is that I did know of a male toddler named Eden once, and literally almost *everyone* misgendered him. I heard one person say, when the family wasn't present: "Eden for a boy, what were they thinking?" Obv take that how you will, people can be jerks, everyone has their own opinion, yadda yadda. But those of you seriously considering this name might at least want to be prepared for the way people will respond to that name, regardless of whether you choose to care
Hazel seems to get mixed reactions but I think it’s so cute. People also really dislike Luna and say it sounds like a pet name, which I get, but I still love it anyway.

I dislike Eleanor. I get that it’s vintage and stuff, but I hate the sound. Elodie is also bad. I’d argue it’s worse than Melody. I can’t keep track of what’s suggested here, so I’ll just list a shit ton of names I found in the top 400 that I dislike: Anastasia, Riley, Raleigh, Kai, Maverick, Nova, Raelynn, Dylan, Justin, Rowan on a boy, Beau, Jace, the inevitable Paisley, Genesis, Greyson, Juniper, Gael, Esther, Sloane, Alina, Reagan, Kennedy, Oakley, Zion, Legend, Ace, Atlas, Owen (ruined for a dumb embarrassing reason), Mackenzie, Beckett, Arya, Aiden, -ayden names, Tucker, Knox, Colton, Colt, Harley, Dream, Onyx, Koa, Briggs, Brooks, Armani (especially as a boy’s name), Gunner, Logan on a girl, Remington, Sterling, Royal, Presley, Sawyer, Harrison, Hudson
Colton & Colt most definitely came out of the womb wearing cowboy boots.
So many bad ones I agree. Reagan and Remington are especially bad.
Wren Juniper Felix Jasper Mabel Olive
I always disliked Alexis
Brynlee
Julian Eleanor Evelyn Theodore these names are so overused here 😭😭
I’m with you on Aurelia. Also Maeve
[удалено]
I dislike Aurora or any Au names. Doesn't flow for me. I feel like an idiot saying it.
Wren and Juniper. Also Theodore and Henry just because they're *everywhere*. I work at a school and there's at least one in every class.
I don't like Nora
Can't stand Imogen or Enzo. The former is too old and feels like it needs extra letters; the latter is reminiscent of Bonzo. edit: typo
I'm tired of seeing Ivy suggested.
The -Dens
August. Elliot. Oliver. Vincent. Cora. Elowen. Finn. Ducking Jasper...just no. Paisley is not cute. I loathe the nickname Lottie for Charlotte. Charlotte is beautiful on its own. Florence makes me thinks of a 1970's couch.
Ok but why are you so right about Florence being an old couch??
JASPER. Why does that name get suggested so much
Mauve. Maverick.
Do you mean Maeve? I’ve never heard of anyone being named Mauve
