What names wouldn't you choose and why?

Some names have become so popular that they feel overused, that happens in every generation. My eldest dd will be 20 this year. I really liked Olivia when she was born but got a feeling that it was getting very popular, Ava was breaking through and Sophia was absolutely everywhere in every country I visited at the time! So I chose names outside the top 100. As names such as Sophia/Sophie, Ava and Olivia have been big for at least two decades it's understandable that people find them less inspiring. Also certain sounds seem to get very popular: Eva, Ava, Maya, Evie, Ella, Isabella/Isabel, Lily, Milly, Isla, Mia - you can easily see the sound-family connections between them and they had their Zeitgeist moment and are now very much on the way out. Doesn't mean they aren't all very lovely names.

Jasmine
Sasha
Maia/Maya

Yes, it's the names that suddenly became fashionable quickly that end up overused and 'dated'.

This is not a nice thread at all. No need to be so nasty about a child's name, just say you don't like it fhs!

Sophie
Megan
Bethany

Just don’t find them exciting at all. I think I must know about 10 of each
