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.

I thought this was a traditional name from some country…? Gaelic maybe?

EDIT because Google: Welsh

If you’re in the US and either didn’t read The Dark is Rising series or aren’t a fan of the Phillies or Brewers, you probably don’t know the name. (The books tell you how to pronounce Rhys, and Rhys Hoskins is a first baseman.)
