Made up names like Nevaeh. Horrible misspellings like Aubreigh. Some last names that are used as boy's names just don't work well for girls: Sutton. Spencer. Hunter. Names that start with "bray". That's the sound a donkey makes. A lot of really old fashioned and out dated names like...Phyllis, Beaulah, and Bertha. Boy's out dated and old fashioned names seem to be more accepted.

ANY boy names on girls (including addison and madison). The only true unisex names are names like Alex (Alexander/Alexandra/ia/etc) and Sam (Samuel, Samantha/Samara/etc).
Also as someone else mentioned, badly misspelled names or just misspelled names in general (Ex Jasmyn instead of Jasmine).
Another one that you and others have kind of implied are very out dated almost unusable names such as Phyllis, Gladys, Gertrude, Bertha, Amos, Bertrum, etc.
Another thing I dislike is made-up names like Saralina or Jazzlyn and strange careers/word names like Pilot and Sailor.
AND I've seen people ask about the "name" nirvana many times. No.

I won't make fun of names.
It does concern me when people misspell them on purpose. What could they possibly be thinking? Living your whole life, day to day, spelling your name for everyone.
And all because your parents thought they were unique.

You're dead right about Phyllis. Lol. I never liked Ethel or Floyd. But Phyllis is worse!

A really missed spell name.
I know a girl name
Justine and her parents spelled her name gustyne
Katelyn and her parents spell her name Kaylin and get up set when people say Kaylin and not Katelyn.
