What names come to mind that you dislike?

If your/your DC's name comes up, don't be offended, not everyone can like it!

Tyler
Kai
McKenzie
Bailey
Taylor
Blake

the majority of traditional British boys names (there may be 1 I don't mind but I cant think of any at the mo)... but I know that nobody that I have met so far likes my husbands idea for a boys name so its even stevens with the world....

I wouldn't know where to start... and wouldn't see the point!

if we all liked the same names, wouldn't life get rather confusing -
it's a good job we have different tastes - i enjoy a world where not quite all children are called thomas and emily (although both are lovely names, we wouldn't want to call everyone that now, would we?)
