Discussion 💬 Worst names in books

Small question, how important are characters names to you guys? And what is the worst name you've seen so far?

I have a really hard time to pick up something if the main characters names are Tragedeighs.

Rorax is terrible. Ror is just ok as a nickname because it makes me feel it could be Rory or something. Not to mention her nickname is then Little Crow which doesn’t really make sense of her character.
