i hate un unique names that seems like every place in teh world has someone named them, like Bob , joe, jim, bill, susan, pat, etc etc
then you got the red neck names...oh dear god : Jim joe jr bim bob (yes there is actually people named/called this) Bubba, Jr. (thats it just Jr. )
then you have the people whole like numbers "Richard the 1st, richard the 2nd, richard the 3rd and so on"
then of course "richard the senior" "richard junior" etc etc etc list goes on and on. I still don't see why it seems like a lot of americans have lost the mind capabilities to make !!!Unique!!! names, like they did back in the old greek/roman days like
Orion, Cassicus, Phillipie, Georgitta, Luscicus, Nefurati, etc etc .

I don't care for names that are "unisex," names that can be equally likely to belong to a girl or a guy. Like Terry, Shawn, Jamie, Jackie, Bobbie, those kinds of names. Very confusing on the Internet to be chatting with someone who has that kind of name and not know whether your new friend is a him or a her.

My name "Dominiq" is one of those kinds of names. :(

Also don't like the ghetto names; they're very stupid. Also don't like the Hollywood trend to give your kids weirdass names.

Jacob(or Jake), Tyler, and Logan.

Every single kid I've ever been around with that name has been a sadistic, malicious, and uncontrollably hyperactive. They are unbearable little beasts.
