Worst rated names, site statistics (must have >50 votes to be on list so there are not outlier voters) https://www.behindthename.com/rating/highest.php?type=overall&rev=y

I'm genuinely shocked that Porntip isn't at the top of this list.
I try not to look at ratings for that reason. Laughing at the name Porntip from an English speaking perspective is just xenophobic. It has a rich etymological and cultural heritage and cannot be compared to something like Jaxxon or Blueberry in the UK/US. Deliberately finding a non-English name and down voting it for sounding odd in English is odd behaviour.
There are some names that have a rich cultural and linguistic heritage that have also become associated (on a global scale) with unsavory or negative connotations that are irrespective of race or national origin. Porntip is one of those names. If you typed those syllables into any server in the world, you would without question get something explicit.

All the other names on that list are English. I didn't down vote it. Accusing someone of xenophobia for looking at a list of low rated names on a site visited by thousands is quite a leap.
The site does have this also on ratings page https://www.behindthename.com/rating/bias.php
