Todd, Heather, Jenna, Hayley, Zoey, Kelsey, DuQuan, Madison, McKenzie, Skyler, Chase, Hayden, Jaden, Caden, Aiden, Brayden, Landen, Branden, Arden. Looks really silly on adult people

Caleb takes the cake though; I think that parents who name their offspring Caleb should be gagged with used enemas

these are just bad names for anyone

DuQuan
is that an actual name what

and I don't think Caleb's a very good name but it's not that bad
funny because my ex's brother is caleb and her ex is jayden

There's surprising overlap between "names I don't really like" and "names derived from surnames of Irish etymology"
e.g. Blake, Braden, Casey, Devin, Dillon, Darren, Duane, Keegan, Kelly, Logan, McAnything, Shane

Skyler

this one was originally spelled "Schuyler" but then it was respelled for some reason

pretty lame to do that if you ask me

Schuyler is the male spelling and Skyler is the female spelling but it's a terrible bullshit girls' name anyway

Schuyler is fine, but Skyler is terrible

Also I don't mind names ending in "y". It's kind of cool when you go to an old neighborhood in NYC and hear a lot of Tommy, Joey, Tony, Jimmy, etc

What are names if not labels parents (and the government) force upon children to subjugate them?



Also, I have a friend named Caleb. I do not understand the dislike for that name.
