name of shame

Last week, I wrote about girls who think male baldness is a no-go when it comes to dating.

Now, an even pickier dealbreaker: Names.

This Jezebel article, via College Candy, asks if there are any names you won't date.

My answer? Yes.

I'm sure I'd make some exceptions for true love, but I'd be very hesitant to date someone with the same name as my dad. Or brother. Or anyone with the same name as one of my more despicable exes.

There's probably some other grimace-worthy names I'd insert into the list, too. Refer to everybody's favorite character from "Growing Pains."

Do you have any dealbreaker names?
