I read most of the thread, but not all. Why am I not seeing names like Shaquanda, Le'bron, Sha'nice, Ja'leel, etc?

The ubiquitous "J" names: Jacob, Jayden, Jason, Jayden, Jordan, Jared, ...

Also, I can never tell all these apart and there are SO many of them now: Brandon, Brendan, Brennan, Branson.

If a child's first name is a surname within the family, it is fine. Certain families have done this for generations. It may also be a middle name, again very typical of family tradition.

When a surname is given to a baby as a first name, and the surname is not a name within the family, it is clearly being chosen to make the kid/family seem WASPy and upper class. THAT it is completely CHEESY and tacky.

I'm with you on much of this list, except Hope. I really like that name - but it is my middle name, so maybe I am biased. It's such a wonderful meaning, and not 100% areligious meaning.

Christian doesn't bother me too much, but my lifelong Christian Slater crush is a factor. I don't really like it as a name for a kid, though.

Reagan? BLECH!

Can't stand Sophie and Sophias, Isabellas, and first names that sound like last names Taylor/Madison/Monroe/Connor.
