Names You Would Never Name Your Kids

This is probably a terrible idea because someone will get offended, but I like to try to not be afraid of hurting people's feelings.

So there is a forum for name you WOULD name your kids, but what are names you WOULD NEVER name your kids? Try to list some common American names you would never name your kids... Give a reason if you feel like it.

For instance, I would never name my kids:
* Danielle (I hated this girl named Danielle growing up)
* Jennifer (I knew way too many in my school district)
* James (Had a crush on this boy and then became crushed :/)
* Kevin (I once knew a douche bag named Kevin and no matter how many non-douche bags named Kevin I meet, Kevin holds a tool status to it...)

1) Doris - it just such an old persons name
2) Allison - every allison I know is a witch with a "b"
3) Hortense - that should be self-explanatory, it has the sound whore in it
4) Brandon - every brandon I know is annoying
5) Nicole - way too common of a name, since I have this name, it would be kinda weird if I named my kid after it (and a very gilmore girl move)
6) William - once again way too common, plus it's my dad's middle name
7) Ed- I hate the shortened version of the name Edward. I love the name Edward, but out of fear that the kid would become an "Ed" I would never name them that; ▶ Reply to This
