I’m not a fan of Maya/Maia/Mia/Mayah/other similar variations. So overused for kids born in the early 00s! I used to be a supply teacher and I’d encounter 3-4 in every class and they’d either all spell it the same but pronounce it differently, or all use different spellings but pronounce it the same. It was a nightmare to get through the register!

Also once had a class where there were not one but two girls called Tigerlily 🤢

Any overly pretentious names like Toby, Hugo, Bertie, Maximus, Aurelia, Jemima, Arabella, Henrietta, Aurora.

Name association puts me off.
Lydia - Chlamydia
Nicholas - knickerless
Bhodi - bogie

Edit - I think I meant word association 🙄

Arlo.

For some reason it's gone from being a toff name to the top choice for reality TV stars and footballers in OK! Magazine.

There’s a child down my street with that name. Makes me think of The Good Dinosaur.

I'm not a fan of names where an "-on" or "-en" ending is replaced with "-yn", like Brandyn, Jordyn, Aspyn. (Ha - my autocorrect HATED them too!)

The worst I've seen was on a reality TV show set in the States. There was a girl named Serenity, spelled "Sarynyti".

Dustin, lance and randy. Very American I think as I don't know any but I think they are awful. Been watching stranger things with my stepdaughter and she calls Dustin, Dustbin 😂

Jaydon, Kaden, Braydon, Riley, Marley, Bodhi, Bear, Bailey, Bleu.

Anything spelt in a 'unique' way, meaning their kid will have to spell their name out for their entire life. Anything hyphenated (unless you're French).

All the fashionable names that the 'cool' parents where I live are currently using. Arlo, Woody, Buddy, Sonny etc. They are not going to age well and sound like dog names.
