Beat me to it! I once saw a cartoon of a very distraught looking teacher in a class picture, and the students' names Scot, Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer, Scott, Scott, Jennifer, Scott, Jennifer...
My personal "names to hate" from experience (and my apologies to those who have these names) are Jeffery and Christopher. I actually broke off a very serious relationship with a man who was insistent that his son would be named Jeffery.

Yes, I often said that the list for names NOT to name my kids was longer than the list TO name my kids.
names I did not consider:
Theo
Miranda
Joshua
Jennifer
Brandon
I know there were others, but these jump to mind very, very quickly. Too quickly.

Flenzy, Jake, Melissa, Peter, Amanda
The rest of them, I'm sure I could get over. But those four, never. The others I seem to forget about after a few months.

Did you really have a student named Flenzy when you taught HS?

He came in the year when I taught 8th grade. The sad thing is, he was Flenzy Junior.
I'd also add to the list "creative" spelling of names. Any name. Jessyka. Rian (Ryan) and a few others that I can't think of right now. Equally annoying where the kids named after cities. I've had a Chicago and Cleveland. My mom once had a student who was either Orlando Cleveland or Cleveland Orlando. She could never remember which city came first.

Funny this thread was bumped. I would like to share part of an article from my hometown newspaper earlier in the year. I've taken out some of the information about other folks involved in the incident.
"Flenzy....were all charged with two counts of aggravated assault, and one count each of riot, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, police said."
I knew I didn't like the name.

WAIT...how did I not know this?
I was born and raised in Destin...the parents still live there (and are natives). It's quite possible that you were in school with some of my aunts and uncles.

Daddy was an AF officer....he was stationed at Eglin AFB while I was in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade  . decades ago...decades ago.
We had the coolest babysitters .....a HS junior named Nancy Neville was the one that pops into my head. She was so sweet to us.
My two best friends were Jody Scrivenor (sp?) and Renee Robinson .
Amazing what you can remember as you get older .
