There are some names like Connie and Matilda.... Popular ones that I hate and just don't get.
Any names that are popular you just don't get?!

I also hate Matilda, it's such an ugly clunky name.

I also hate the name Ruth, it really makes my teeth itch. Sorry to any Ruth's out there!

I also dislike the names Hazel and Aileen/Eileen. I've never met a nice one yet.

I don't like hyphenated names.

Elsie May Smith - lovely

Florence and Flora. What's wrong with Laura? Ditto Lauren, be called Laura.

Also Casey makes me think of suitcases.
