I've *always* disliked names like Chastity, Hope, Faith, Destiny...etc. I don't know why, lol.

Anyway, that's by the by...

I personally prefer more traditional/mainstream (but not trendy or overly-popular) names, sorry if that makes me a bit boring! I know some people choose wierd names or spellings specifically to be unique or different, but I personally don't see the point and I think having to spell your name every day would be so annoying it would outweigh any novelty value of having an unusual name.

Although saying that, I can understand using an unusual name if there is some relevance or meaning to it, eg to represent a family's ethnic background or foreign heritage...
I totally agree with you. I got in trouble with someone because I'm not crazy about the name "Alice" due to a rocky relationship with my step-mother. Everyone has name preferences and it is not in any way meant to slam the people with that name, or those who named those people.

I also love traditional names! I can't stand the names that sound as though the parents grabbed random syllables out of a hat! That poor child would be spelling that name for life. Also girls' names that end in "sha" sounds. Not super pleasant to me. At the end of the day, I always judge a person based on his/her personality and behavior, on who they are, rather than their name. As the bard wrote, "What's in a name?".

I hate the name Viola!

At soft lay last week a little girl named Viola pushed my boy over..... thats not why I hate the name, but it certainly adds to it.

I just don't like when people drastically change the spelling of names to make them more unique, or prettier, or whatever. Ex. changing Madison to Madysyn.
A pet peeve of mine is the name Jaxson. It's a really nice name and I like it a lot, but I really don't like that spelling. If you have the 'X', you don't need the 'S', know what I mean? So it should be Jaxon. But like I said, I really like the name itself.
