For whatever this is worth, OP, my name is Karen, and for my entire 48 years since I've been aware of my name I've hated it.

And I have a relative named Alexa who sometimes goes by Lolly, and she isn't phased at all by "the Alexa" existing.

Not slam but talk about how annoying it is when you love a name and then something happens and people get a strong association with it.

I think of that scene in Jane the Virgin where they introduce the twins. Anna and Elsa.

I adore these names. Unfortunately it would be impossible and cruel to give one of these names to a baby today.
Are there any other beautiful classic names that have become a no-no?
