MODERATORS
Any name that's a "unique" spelling of an ordinary name.
Names that are just adjectives in English, usually "uniquely" spelled too.
I think you mean "Uniqueleigh"
Yes, yes I did. I just couldn't bring myself to write it
Imagine telling people your first name is Gunner or Major and expecting them to take you seriously.
Elon
Any of the 2 syllable names ending in -er. Hunter Asher etc.
Greg
By some strange alchemy, all of my friends seem to know a person named Greg that they dislike. It's become a bit of a meme that if someone mentions the name, others will just grumble in "Fuckin' Greg"
Evan. Never knew an Evan that wasn't a total asshole.
Shelly is one of the grossest names to my ears but I have no idea why.
I don't know if I really hate a name, but everyone I have ever met named Becky has been mean right from the instant I meet them.
I have no beef with the Rebas, Rebeccas, Rebekahs, and Beccas of the world. Just Becky.
Curiously I'm mistrustful of boomers named Ron or Don and variants thereof. Current events in the US figure into this bias.
Karen. You know
my most hated names are scam one's example: GET FREE ROBUX AT [scam site name) .COM
That isn't a first name.
Kevin. I have never met a good Kevin.
I came here to post this. Glad to see it's where it needs to be.
Jean. Not only is it the new Hans, but in English (as opposed to German or French where it's most common), it does not read like a name.
It definitely reads like a name in English. You just have to pronounce it Jeen. I know a few old ladies with that exact name.
I'm not saying it doesn't read in English, but whenever I read it, my mind registers it as a word/object. In English, it has those connotations.
