Yup, there sure are. Taking from just the top 100 among the U.S current chart, here are the names that I rather don't care for. I'll start with the boy names, then the girls later on in a separate response.
#27
Hudson
As a native New Yorker, the explorer
Henry Hudson immediately comes to mind. Hud/Huddy aren't attractive nicknames
#37 & #95:
Grayson &
Greyson
Just sounds unbelievably wimpy and whiny.
Greyson is the better spelling of the two though, but it appears to be on its way out.
#40:
Maverick
I get the Top
Gun references, but while growing up, this was the name of our family practice facility and we always just referred to it as "The Maverick/Maverick" So anytime I hear/see this name, I'm picturing some type of doctor, besides the movies.
#46:
Jayden
I shouldn't have to explain this one. I'm just very glad that these types of names seem to be on their way out, for the most part anyway.
#48:
Santiago
I don't get the appeal of this one at all. It just doesn't sound like a name to me and that's the best way I can describe it. I much prefer
Tiago.
#53
Cooper
🐕🚗🐔💩 (Dog's name, mini
Cooper, chicken coop & what the name rhymes with) This name is best left for the dogs or as a surname
#54
Lincoln
Just overrated
#62
Angel
It's incredibly tacky and cheesy. Better for a boy, sure, but the Spanish pronunciation isn't any better.
#66
Waylon
Sounds dangerous. 😳 Wailing on is a term I immediately think of, along with the act of someone crying. I also just hate the way the name looks. Waylen is better, but not by much.
#68
Roman
This is one that seems to get fiercely defended everywhere you go and I just can't for the life of understand the appeal and fascination over it. It sounds like the word, roaming (as in roaming around) and brings to mind *coughs awkwardly* a certain birth control, let's just leave it at that. I much prefer
Ronan.
#76
BrooksBest left as a surname. Also the whole plural noun/verbs as names is just weird, to say the least. At least it isn't as bad as
Banks.
#77
Axel
Might be fine in lots of countries, but in English-speaking ones, you may as well be saying a swear word. It also makes me think of car axles, an ax and axe body spray.
#78
Walker
Self-explanatory. Just incredibly silly. I mean what's his sibling names, Runner and skipper? This is another name best left as a surname.
#80
Easton
Just why?
#82
Weston
Better than
Easton and certainly better than
Waylon, but it isn't terrific by any means.
