What Name Do You Love That Everyone Hates?

You might think of them as underdog names: The ugly, the awkward, the unpopular, or maybe the way too popular.

The names that most other people can’t stand that you secretly, or perhaps not so secretly, have an irrational, or perhaps perfectly rational, fondness for.
