As a child of the seventies I was given one of these hideous names. Thanks.

Reagan tops my list.

I also hate Sebastian. Why is it suddenly so popular?

And Hadley. Did no one actually read that book? Why would you name your daughter after such a weak, spineless character?

Emma is the worst. Why any parent would want a child named something that recalls the word enema is beyond me.

Also dislike:

Ella
Molly
Dionne
Sally
Dawn
Naomi
Phoebe
Brooke
Lily
Cody
Lucas
Jacob

Along with Reagon, Logan, Rowan.

Can someone explain to me how Jack is a nickname for John? Or Peggy for Margaret?

Some nicknames make no friggin sense....

Another pet peeve is when people substitute vowels. You may think Krystyn looks pretty in print but everyone still hears plain old Kristen.

I agree. I know someone who has a "Kaydee." Ummm, really? Don't care for it.

Reagan? BLECH!

+1, although in fairness my objection isn't so much to the name itself as it is to the fact that every Reagan I know has parents who are insufferable, hypocritical, "Christian" conservatives.

I'm the one who wrote BLECH - this is pretty much my assessment, as well. Nobody fun names their kid Reagan - nobody.

I think the names people choose to give their kids are cRaZy.
I don't like the name Joan. Never met one I liked.

Spelled this way? Yikes, I dislike this too.

Now, Fiona is fine.

I agree that Fiona is fine, but I saw Feeonah on someone's facebook. Thought it was a joke.

That is totally sad. I feel for that child.
