Do you mean that Auburn itself is awful as a name, so don't use it? Or that the city is awful, making the name unusable?

The second one. Because of it I can't see Auburn as anything other than oppressive, though for a while I played with it as kind of pastoral and lovely.
Auburn got its name from a pretty depressing poem, too. The dippy girl who named it apparently only read the first line of it: http://www.online-literature.com/oliver-goldsmith/2093/

Always good to have local perspective on a place name. The sum of my experience with Auburn is driving by its exit on I-85. =) I remember the area as pleasantly green and woodsy, but that's all I've got.
