I hate people who think they are being clever, witty, or creative by giving their children "exotic" or poorly spelled names. Research has shown that the more "y"s you put in your child's name, the less education and money they will attain in their lifetimes. Thus, someone named "Madysyn" is going to have a much harder time getting into school and getting a good job than someone named "Madison."
Also, anything "ethnic" (unless you're going to actually live in the country the name comes from), has the same effect.
If you have your child's best interest at heart, PLEASE name them something that comes from your geographic location and that is spelled correctly with as few "y"s as possible. There is nothing wrong with having the name John or Michael or Amanda or Jennifer. There is something wrong with getting stuck with a name employers are going to look at and then crumple up your resume.
And, please do not name your daughter's stripper/hooker names. I cannot count the number of times someone has asked me what they thought of a name and I told them, honestly, that she would be dancing on a pole in 18 years.
Best of luck!
Peace,
Jenn

Dangerous question to ask but here goes.
Names I hate from personal life Michael/Mike common/liked by all. I dated two both cheaters,liars, jerks. They are always handsome but devils! I wish I could get over this name and label can't!
Boys
Josh & Alex - get into trouble spend a lot of energy bucking the system. Smart but also don't care about school
Andy-goofball, always needs to be in front of class, can't focus, always forgets homework
Justin-smartA@@ but smart,likes mind games
Girls:
Desiree- don't name your child this even if she is your hearts desire she is loose with the boys
Crystal too but not a sleezy as above.

I'm not sure why I hate some of these names:
Candy, Mandy (these names aren't so cute when the child grows up)
Shana
Shane
Maynard
Clarice
Marie (for a first name. Ok as a middle name)
Jayden (overused)
Mindy
Naima (too "America's Next Top Model")
Jasmine (too "Aladdin")
Casper (boo)
Jasper
Michelle
Tony (for a girl)
Terry
Tiffany (too mall rat)
Shannon
Tabitha
Kaylee (overused)
Rene
Tammy
Or any name that people try to spell differently, like Alyvlia (Olivia).

Neveah is absolutely, positively a pathetic attempt at someone at being profound but they obviously have a low class mentality.
Cornelius. I think that one needs no explanation.
Ursula. Reminds me of a giant black hairy spider.
Peaches, Harmony, Destiny, Treasure, Crystal, Diamond, and all names that sound like they belong on a marquee down at the local strip joint.
Serenity - I absolutely hate. Totally ruins the Godsmack song for me, not to mention its a brand of incontinence pads.
Chastity - makes no sense. The parents obviously weren't chaste and the child won't be chaste forever. Wishful thinking.
Ethnic (ebonics) names - Jayvon, Lakeisha, Quintesha, Ayesha, Jakwon, Avion, Dontrelle, Marquise, etc. They all make me cringe....

I hate the name Michael but the reason I hate it is pretty stupid.
I also don't like trendy names which have been over-popularized to the point that they are common....names like
Makayla
Mackenzie
Brooklyn
Kennedy
Taylor
for girls...and I especially don't like McKayla or McKenzie. I think that the Mc-prefix is more suited to Scottish tribal names.
Kayden
Jayden
Connor
Dakota
for boys

It's funny, I don't like the trendy names like Madison and Austin or whatever, but there's this huge list of old names that no one prolly uses now! I'm thinking of these names:
Pam
Myrtle
Sally
Elmer
Gretchen
Florence
Eleanor
Esmeralda
Martha
Mildred
Myrna
Mabel
There are more old-fashioned names here: http://hometown.aol.com/elfnames/oldfashioned.html

Bertha, Bernice, Eustace, Ruth, and Beth. They all sound like they belong to 80 year olds.

There are so many - here are a few...
Malachi (MAL uh kai) reminds me of a crazy redhead.
Nevaeh (nuh vay uh) - enough already!
Anything that ends with the "leen" sound... very trailer park-ish.
