I have a son named George. It is a family name and I'll concede it's not for everyone. It took a while for the name to grow on me enough to consider using it but it totally suits my son. I was afraid people would think it was too "old" of a name for a little boy but have since met quite a number of young Georges. I think every single one was also named after family

Oh, and to the poster who thinks it sounds too British, in our case it is Welsh.

This is my problem with Addison. Except that it's actually a disease.

Horrible.

Anything ending with an "i".

Alexia. It means "inability to read."

Oh, and Keith. Gah.

Oh no, it's the "Gah" poster - seriously, are you that cartoon character Cathy?

I was going to say Micah! I also dislike Lucas for no good reason. And Drew.

Ezra and Asa. Yes, they're legitimate names. They still sound horrible to me.

I hate when people actually give their child a nickname as a full name. It is just wrong. Nicknames are cute and endearing but people deserve proper names folks. Jack is a nickname. John is a proper name. Charlie is a nickname. Charles is a proper name. Give your child a chance at a good job and some dignity. Don't set your child up by giving him or her a cutesy name in place of a proper name. Don't make up names. Don't spell names in an odd way. It's not cute. It's not fun. It's not special. What it is, is a crappy thing to do to a person. You may as well attach an addendum to your child's birth certificate that says, "I come from a low class and uneducated background," OR, "my mom was a striper with a 6th grade education."

You realize you're even more annoying, right? We get it. "Gah" reminds you of Cathy.

It's a disease named after a person. If you're going to hate all person names that have been associated with diseases, that's a long list! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_eponymously_named_diseases

Sounds like the mean girls club at a private school!

I hate hippie/nature/season names - Windy, Rain, River, Stormy, Sunshine, Autumn, Summer, Rainbow.

There was a Kai at my DC's preschool. He was mouthy, obnoxious, and rude.

Well that proves it then.
