Answer

Items... like blanket...

Answer

All of the above. It's like another user said, I'm a complete name snob lol although can I just add... I especially hate when people take a normal name and add "-Lynn" to the end 😣

Answer

Common names that people try to make unique. Just because you change/butcher the spelling, doesn't make the name unique, it's still the same name. I get why people have the need to spell things so odd, and choosing not to follow any kind of language rule. It's just going to make it harder on the kid growing up. Not a fan of completely made up names either. But, not my baby.

Answer

Everyones opinion on it.... ugh. Keeping ours a secret.

Answer

Can't stand 'Bella'. It's pretty but 1 zillion people pick it.

Answer

All of the above! I am a total name snob!

Answer

Definitely the spelling! I have no problem with historically common names, like what I guess you would call traditional (obviously there are many cultural traditions that each have their own common names). I also have no problem with truly unique names. I am very disdainful of names people think are unique, but are super popular right now, or are made up, but follow a super-trendy formula. So, for example, I think John is great, I think Jormah is great, and I think Jaxton (or whatever the hell, you know what I mean) is gross.

Answer

I hate completely made up names. I had a coworker who had a little boy named "Avashtjgen" pronounced uh-vash-ten. The first time she texted it to me I thought she had accidentally hit weird buttons. I feel like that is just mean. But I also hate when people say they want a unique name and then it's actually a pretty popular name (Evelyn) for example. My kids will both have familiar/common names because that is mine and my husbands preference. But I don't go telling everyone that I have this great original name for my kid.
