I am going talk about both western names & names common in the state if Israel because this is what I am familiar with (this is my subjective opinion and i didn't mean to offend anyone and if i did, i apologize):
Henry - the original Germanic form is way better I don't understand why everyone seems to like this name so much
Mohammed - A very common name here in Israel. So come that it is considered the most popular name in the state of Israel during all of it's years of existence. (And also the most popular name in the world) Don't get me wrong I love Arabic names but I think Hamza, Ali and Noor can be great alternatives to Mohammed. I understand people want to commemorate prophet Mohammed but Ahmed is also one of Mohammed's names yet It's not so popular.
David - I don't understand why is it so common in the first place, the sound isn't very appealing in my opinion nor the meaning.
Tamar - a common girl name in Israel but I don't like it. I feel like there are better alternatives to Tamar like Noa, Batsheva, Hanna, Elah
Noah - not common here in israel but is common elsewhere, Noah is a cute name but I see it trending everywhere and I don't understand why
Liam - this name doesn't have a personality
Leo - I don't like it
Henry - the original Germanic form is way better I don't understand why everyone seems to like this name so much

I don’t get why everyone likes Daphne so much. The Scooby Doo association will never leave me.
Definitely Maeve, Daphne & Phoebe and Jasper
Alice and Sebastian are the first that come to mind. I think they're awful, but everyone here seems to adore them.
I'm a bit confused by the inclusion of Susan and Hester on this list...
I think they're unfeminine and ugly. I am not hearing what others are hearing.
What I mean is that those names don't get a lot of attention on the boards.
I had no idea we were talking about the boards, lol. I was looking at the ratings and comments on their main entries. o.O
That's fair! I get my sense of names' popularity via the boards.
Me too.

I hear a lot of love for the following names and I don't like them as much as others seem to.
James
Henry
William
Hazel
Rose
Phoebe
If I think of more, I'll edit and add them to the list.
