Every teacher has their own list of "absolutely never" names for future offspring. The amount of overlap is surprising

I feel like there has never been any good Jonathans, Aidens, Jacksons, Tyrees, Katies, Katrinas, Isaiahs, or Catherines. And any name that's hyphenated with Ann.

Changes from country to country, I suppose. I'm not even a teacher, but I know damn well Samuel is an absolute no. Most other biblical names also tend to rate highly on the "DON'T" list.
