Names that bug you

Ever see or hear a name that you dislike enough that it automatically prejudices you a bit against the person who has it?

One of those for me is "Palmer Luckey" (the guy who invented the Oculus Rift VR thing). Just sounds like it would be the name of a character in some cheeseball family-friendly inspirational baseball movie.

No hyphen after a word ending in ly, bro.

The phrasing of that sentence does bothers me. I want to separate the adjectives with commas.

While we are talking grammar I'd like to point out "just" is an extraneous word that serves no purpose.

The name Stephan bothers me and I've always wanted an opportunity to get that off my chest. That is all.

That only applies to adverbs, Ed.
