Here is a short list of name names that you should avoid when naming children. Below are examples of very common names, 15 for each gender. Variations in spelling or pronounciation do not make these names acceptable. Also, do not feel limited by this list. In fact, if you know more than three or four people with a name you want to name your child, you should probably avoid said name.
Girls: Emily, Sarah, Brittany, Rachel, Jessica, Catelyn, Nichole, Danielle, Christina, Samantha, Hannah, Lauren, Katherine, Allison, Jennifer
Boys: David, Matthew, Michael, Jacob, Zach, Daniel, Alex, Andrew, Ryan, Christopher, Joshua, Johnathan, Nicholas, Joseph, William
Mother: If it's a girl, I was thinking maybe Ashley. Or Jessica.
Father: Yeah, and if it's a boy? How about Michael. Or David.
Fetus: Damn it... why do my parents love name names?
