Do you agree with my LEAST favorite GIRLS names?

I've made a list of my least favorite fairly normal girls names. These are names I would NEVER consider naming my future children--nothing personal against them (and I certainly don't want to offend anyone), they are just not what I like.

I put stars next to the ones that are particularly awful in my opinion.

Do you agree with all or some?

What are your top 10 FAVORITES from my list?

Andrea, Agnes, *Anne, *Angel, Audrey, *Alice, Antoinette, Annette, Astrid

Barbara, Bonnie, Beatrice, Bernadette, Bernice, Blair, Blanche

*Carol, Chantel, Cheryl, Cindy, Crystal, Cher, Charlene, Constance

*Dana, Daphne, Darlene, Dawn, Deborah, *Donna, Denise, Dale, Darcy, Deidre, Diane, Dolores, Dinah, Doreen, Dorothy, Doris

Edith, Eleanor, Ellen, Esther, Estelle, Evelyn, Edna, Eloise, Enid

Felicia, *Fran, Francine, Francina, Florence, *Frances

Gloria, Gertrude

Harriett, Heather, Heidi, Helen, Hilda, Helga, *Hilary

Ida, Irene, Ingrid

*Janet, Janice/Janis, *Jean/Jeanne, Joanna, Joanne, Joyce, Judith, Judy, *Jade, Joan, Josephine, Juanita, Justine

Kelly/Kelley, Karen

*Lee, Lisa, Lola, Lori, Loretta, Laverne, Lorraine, Lara, Linda, Lois, Lucille, Lynn

Malia, Mallory, *Mariann/Maryann/Mary Ann/Marianne, Marcia, Maria, Marie, Myrtle, Marcy, Myra, Margaret (Maggie is a cute nn tho), Marion, Margo, Martha, Maude, Mildred, Millicent, Mimi, Mona

Neve, Norma, Noreen, Nancy, Nikisha

Olga, Olive

Pamela, *Paula, Paulette, Phyllis

Queenie

*Rhonda, *Roberta, Ronnie, Rhoda, Roseanne, *Ruth

*Tanya/Tania, *Tonya/Tonia, Tatum, *Terri, Thelma, Tamera/Tamara, Taryn, Tasha/Tosha, Tiffany

Uma

Vivian, Valerie, Viola

Wanda, Winona/Wynona

Yolanda, Yvonne

Update:

another name to add to the hate list: Skylar & Louise

BTW: I do like some classic/old fashioned names like: Amelia, Anna (has to have an a at the end), Elizabeth, Grace, Mabel, Matilda, Sarah, etc....but generally I like more modern ones.

    My top 10 would be:

    Alice- kind of classic and older, but still cute and rather timeless.

    Antoinette- this name isnt my favorite, but it's still very feminine sounding and nice.

    Bonnie- i just love the name bonnie; it's very cute and sweet.

    Darcy- i really like darcy- it's unisex but can be very cute for a girl.

    Deidre- for some reason, i like this name. it's very different but pretty.

    Eloise- i like the sounds of eloise, and the femininity is nice.

    Marie- i think this is a very pretty name. more people should make this a first name, rather than an ever-common middle name.

    Roseanne- although it is very traditional, i think roseanne is a nice name. perhaps roseanna would be better, though.

    Scarlet- i love this name. it's sassy and classic at the same time.

    This is actually only 9, but I think you understand what my opinons are. :)

    I disagree with some. I like old fashioned names, and you apparently don't.

    My favorite from your hate list:

    Anne as a middle name

    Alice as a middle name

    Bonnie

    Carol

    Donna

    Janet as a middle (its my grandmother's name)

    Joan as a mdidle name

    Joanna

    Karen

    Lori

    Nancy as a middle

    Paula

    Sally

    Susan

    Sabrina<3

    :p I like a lot that you hate. hah. that actually is pretty close to the list of names that I plan on using, just missing a few (and my list doesn't have Karen, Joan, Nancy, Susan and Janet).

    Source(s): sorry to disagree so much. i like classic names.
