My pet peeve is the Finnish name “Yrjö”. It comes from the Greek name “Geôrgios”, which means farmer, but nowadays the word “yrjö” means vomit. ‘Unique spellings’ like some “Everleigh” also drive me crazy.
Elon
Donald
It’s a perfectly good duck name.
Wabbit season!
Adolf
My great grandfather was born before the name was a no no and was named Adolf. When he came to the US he changed it to Allen.
Adolf “Trump” Musk 🤢
My own. It just doesn’t roll off the tongue with my last name very well. I get tongue tied and sound like an idiot giving a fake name.
Don’t be too hard on yourself, BallShaped. It’ll be alright.

Any name that’s a “unique” spelling of an ordinary name.
Names that are just adjectives in English, usually “uniquely” spelled too.
I think you mean “Uniqueleigh”
Yes, yes I did. I just couldn’t bring myself to write it
Kevin. I have never met a good Kevin.
Kevin is literally the stand-in name for uneducated/lower classes children here in Germany. There’s literally been an article in Der Spiegel “Kevin is not a name, but a diagnosis”.

…If you’re Kevin Day I’ll make an exception, even though we haven’t met.
Maybe they kept leaving Kevin behind on purpose in those Home Alone movies.
I came here to post this. Glad to see it’s where it needs to be.
Curiously I’m mistrustful of boomers named Ron or Don and variants thereof. Current events in the US figure into this bias.
Add Jon to that list, haha.
Adolph, mostly because of one guy.
Aww, what’s wrong with Adolf Albin?
Brayleigh
Never met anyone called Gary who wasn’t an idiot.
I worked with a man from Vietnam that was named Gary because when he came to America there was a lake Gary nearby and his boss just called him that. Stuck with it for the rest of his life. He was crazy but made me laugh a lot.
Imagine telling people your first name is Gunner or Major and expecting them to take you seriously.
Greg
By some strange alchemy, all of my friends seem to know a person named Greg that they dislike. It’s become a bit of a meme that if someone mentions the name, others will just grumble in “Fuckin’ Greg”
Brent.
Except Mr Spiner 🖖
I don’t know if I really hate a name, but everyone I have ever met named Becky has been mean right from the instant I meet them.
I have no beef with the Rebas, Rebeccas, Rebekahs, and Beccas of the world. Just Becky.
Any of the 2 syllable names ending in -er. Hunter Asher etc.
Evan. Never knew an Evan that wasn’t a total asshole.
There are so many first names I hate.
Lloyd
Liam <— probably my most hated first name
Isaac
Ira
Yvonne
