Craig- cccrrrrusty
Veronica- sounds like a verruca
Selena/Serena- slimy
Vanessa- too similar to vaseline
Felix- like the cat food
Gretal- sound like a growl
Gabby- sounds like they talk too much
Jeff- Geoff is nice though
Carson- ...no

Ruth - reminds me of ruthless
Jessica - sounds so obnoxious to me.
Vanessa - too close vainness in my opinion.
Zoe/Joe - reminds me of foe
Grace - sounds like disgrace.
Emma/Emily - sounds like enemy to me.
Daniel - reminds me of denial
Melissa - sounds like malice in my opinion.
Gabriella - sounds like guerilla.
Madeleine/Madeline/Maddie - sounds like madly to me.
Miranda - sounds so evil and unpleasant to me.
Chloe - sounds so childish to me.

I can’t stand Sloane. Slimy.

Kennedy has that Ken beginning that I don’t care for, the -dy at the end makes it worse. Especially as a first name.

---

Felix is great, but it also has something in it I don’t like...

---

I used to love Alice, but the more I say it the more I begin to dislike it.

---

Isis is serpentine and a bit delicate.

I hadn’t thought about Victor sounding like victim.
I feel the same as you about Scarlett and Violet. I want to like them.
I also don’t like Bertha. Maybe because it sounds like birth a. The way I say Martha doesn’t have the erth sound.
I hate Poppy. First of all, it is so close to poopy and I’m not a fan of the pop beginning or the pee ending sounds. Basically, it really sounds like a bathroom word to me.
I agree with Artemis and Maggie about Felix.
Die names - Diana, Diane - this could also just be because of my unpleasant aunt.
Killian- sound like killing
I cannot find a single girl name and very few boys names starting with U that I can stand.
I like how Arista looks and want to like it, but is sounds like arrested and wrist, so I picture handcuffs.
Ima, Ida, Ina, Ira all sound like you’re about to start a sentence, but don’t.
Ber- sound: Bernard, Bernie, Bernice, Bernadette
Eu- at the beginning: Eugene, Eugenia, Eugenie, Eustace, Eunice
And it’s not a sound, but I hate apostrophes in names.

I agree about Harper, Esther, and Amelia.
Also Hester.
And Piper - nothing is good about the feeling it gives me. It sounds like it could be a mocking nickname for a gal who talks vapidly and too much.

---

James - it sounds so smug and smarmy and greasy.

---

Felicity - sounds like elicit, has an irritating singsong quality with the three i sounds in a row, and the fel-part makes it even more icky.

---

Evangeline sounds like evangelism.

Perdita, Sosipatra, Amanda - unfortunately, they sound like some unpleasant words in my language.
Greta - grating and rude (soundwise), imo.
Bertha, Martha, Esther - a tricky -th- sound irritates me sometimes, when I'm tripping over it)))

Absolutely agree with all of your names and for the exact same reasons.

---

I also can't stand:
Henry / Henrietta - because if you've ever been chased by a chicken, you'd understand, then there's Henry VIII
Felix - all I hear is a cat licking itself
Ann(e) - Annnn what, just sounds so incomplete (same goes for Lynn, Lou, Sue, etc.)
Beatrice - it's literally spelled BEAT RICE and I can't get over that
Charlotte - I think of coal for some reason plus I have a very terrible aunt by that name
Alice - it says LICE

"Victor - sounds like victim" LOL!!!!

---

I love these!!

I don't really like names that begin with Lee- (such as Leah or Liam) because they just sound so... Whiny.

I'm always sad to say about this one because it has all the pieces to be a name I like. "Felix" feel-icks is just a combo that gives me the creeps.

I often dont like the letters R and B but not always.

Names ending in -ton like Paxton and Peyton. Names starting in Bl- like Blerta and Bledar.

The name Karen has so much bad weight to it, but I feel like Christine has the most Karen energy of any name, mega Karen Energy. I feel like personally apologizing to every Christine.
(Edit: I mean no disrespect to any Christians, I just dislike how the name sounds.)
