My pet peeve is the Finnish name "Yrjö". It comes from the Greek name "Geôrgios", which means farmer, but nowadays the word "yrjö" means vomit. 'Unique spellings' like some "Everleigh" also drive me crazy.

Greg

By some strange alchemy, all of my friends seem to know a person named Greg that they dislike. It's become a bit of a meme that if someone mentions the name, others will just grumble in "Fuckin' Greg"

Also Steve. Ive never met a Steve who didn’t have a screw loose.

Stevens are fine. Just Steve.

Project Steve has enshrined the name for me as one of glory.

Also Steeve deserves recognition. (Rock and Stone In the Heart!)

Wikipedia reminds me there are plenty of notable Stephen Millers than the one for whom I specifically hold contempt.
