Horrible title I know. But I'm curious...are there any normal names that have been ruined for you because of bad associations with someone or something?

I work at a vet clinic so I have a few names that I used to LOVE but can't ever bring myself to use now because I know so many dogs with those names:

Layla
Zoe
Roxy
Katie
Harper
Max

What are yours?

Carmen
Leah
Marissa
Victor
Sheila (not that I would like this one anyway)
Isaiah

Angelina.. pretty name but I can't stand Angelina Jolie

I love the name Cadence, but I'm almost positive she would somehow end up with the nn Katie. I really really dislike that name.

Isabella, Annabella, Arabella.....the nn Bella is a dog name to me now.

Charlie....my aunt and uncle named their dog Charlie.

James: My grandpa's first name, and he was a pedophile.
Jamison: the most horrible elementary student I ever had to teach
Jack/Jackson: FIL would think it was a tribute to him, and I don't want that!
Jared: never known a nice one!

Paige: the meanest girl in my high school class
Bella/Stella: doggie names
Monica: too many associations, none of them good!
Kendra: the best friend growing up who turned on me later

Jocelyn
Gemma
Angelina

Caroline - I still love the name but would never use it due to a negative association.
Any Em names (Emery/Emmeline are two I love)- All too close to Emily which I have a very negative association with.

Um those are the only ones I can think of that I really like but wouldn't use.
