[Opinions] Re: What names do you feel are overrated on BtN?
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 muchMohammed - 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 whyLiam - this name doesn't have a personality Leo - I don't like it
