Teachers: the names you will never name your own kids

Recently, I read a book in which a teacher said that there are many names that teachers--though they may love the names--will never give their own kids, due to awful stuff that their students with those names have done. This is true. I've talked to other teachers, including my husband, and they can tell you those names really fast! What are yours?

The ones that conjure up bad memories for me (and there were multiple mean kids named these):

80s: Chad, Jason, Shane
90s: Dakota, Dustin
now: Austin, Jaden

(And let me say that there were SIX Austins who lived in in-school suspension at our school last year)
