People always say that about kids making fun of names, but does it even happen all that much? Kids will tease each other for a multitude of reasons. There really are no "normal" names anymore. The playgrounds are already full of kids named Jaden/Braden/Zaden and McKenzie and Ignatius. People don't bat an eyelash.
Those ARE normal. You never heard anyone call a girl named "Anna" "Anna Banana"? When was the last time you heard the name Audio Science yelled out by the swings? I must not be wrong if they wrote a paper on it.
In my twenties I had a run-ins with a few Erics that left me a bit wary, but generally if the only thing I can find to nitpick a guy about is his name, we're in pretty good shape.
Had a neighbor named Eric. He bought a new home near ours when his employer let him go. Not sure he was someone I would have any concern with although it does seem strange to have a big home built on the beach when you aren't working anymore. Then again it was a TV show and Eric's last name was Estrada.

I've seen Giusella or Giuselle but not "Giusy". And it wouldn't be pronounced "juicy". It would be more like "jeewwsie". Capeesh?
Tri, as for names, I get what you're saying. I don't think I could yell out the names "Herbert" or "Mervin" or "Eugene" or if he had a female name like "Leslie" or "Marion" during the throws of passion. I would also get turned off if a guy had the same name as my brother.
Here Leslie is still more of a male name, and mostly old men at that. The fact Leslie Gore was a lesbian and how it sounds like lesbian and is also a male name lol.
I know a women named Porsha (Not the same spelling as the car), another named Lexus, a few named Mercedes. Then again when you hear the name Mercedes you have to realize that the car was named after the Daughter of Mr. Daimler as in Daimler Benz the company. He thought Mercedes sounded better than Daimler.

Mercedes is a female name, the car brand was actually named after s girl, forgot who exactly. Mrs De Generes nee de Rossi was just a Anglo Australian girl with no Italian blood whatsoever who decided she needed a posher name for Hollywood.
No names are a turn-off, for me personally...but certain names can be definitely be very appealing at times, though
Female names I admire :
- Kara
- Bridgette (or any derivation thereof, such as "Brigette", "Brigid", etc.)
- Nora
- Aurelia
- Claudia
- Ariana
- Summer
- Autumn
- Melanie
- Sophia
- Elena
- Erica
- Jenna
- Emma
- Roxana
- Christina / Kristina
- Mostly anything else that starts or ends with the letter "A"

Fairly common name for Hispanic women. Very pompous and formal sounding.
It's not that pompous--you're Catholic, no? Mercedes honors Our Lady of Mercy, in the same way Dolores is to honor Our Lady of Sorrows.
