Names that bug you, or names you're sick of hearing?

A name that REALLY claws and crawls into my gut is Katniss

I'm not gonna lie, I HATE the name Katniss. Every time it shows up in the "Today's Most Popular Names" section of the homepage it makes me wonder why people like it. It sounds like catnip every time I hear it.

YES! I can't stand it either. I apologize in advance to anyone who likes the name...

Nevaeh. I have loathed this name since it first came into existence and time has done nothing to diminish that.

Oliver. I know it's getting more popular, but I just can't get the song from the Oliver Twist musical out of my head:

"Oliver, Oliver
What will he do when he's turned black and blue
He will rue the day somebody named him Ol-i-ver"

Also: Katniss and Dashiell. It seems like they're on the nameberry front page every single week in giant letters. Why??!!

Names that sound like someone took a traditional/trendy name and just randomized a few of the letters: Kason, Zayden, etc.

Neveah. If you want to name your kid after Heaven, why not just call her Heaven? I don't understand the significance of spelling it backwards.

Yoonikke spellings of traditional names. It doesn't make a child unique. It makes me think that the child's parents flunked out of Kindergarten. Me'kay-luh, McKaylla, Makinlee, etc.
