Annoying names

If you are going to have kids anytime soon, please don't name them:

Aidan, Braden, Caden, Hayden, Jaden, Kaden, Zayden (I know Aidan is a legit Irish name, but all the rhyming crap has kind of ruined it)
Payton, Payten
Braelyn, Kailyn, Kailyn, Raelynn
Braylee, Caylee, Hayleigh, Jaylee, Kaylee, Kayleigh
Cadence, Kadence, Kaydense

Or:
Madison, Madyson, Addison, Jackson, Harrison, Tyler, Taylor, Pierce, Lincoln, Grant, McKinley, McKenzie, McKayla, Kennedy, Kennadie, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Raegan

Or Mc/MacAnything on a girl, because it's something that comes from Irish and Scottish surnames and I think it means "son of..." And it makes it sound like you bought your kids at McDonalds.

And no, it's not clever to actually use "Danger" as you child's middle name.

And naming your son Blade, Gunner, Killer, or Manly Penis McWeaponson will not make him into a super-manly warrior guy. He'll probably go up to be an accountant or a cashier at Burger King.

Nor does spelling a name in a weird way make it "unique." Your little Braeghdynn will not stand out among the Bradens, Braedyns, Braydens, Braylyns, Aidens, and Caydens.

Oh, and Nevaeh should really mean Hell, since it's Heaven in reverse. If you can't just call her Heaven or something that means that, name her Lleh.
