Yes. There's a difference, to me at least, between names that are not common or using a foreign/family spelling and names that just don't make sense.
Bus Stop 7 is a "bad" name, IMO.
Kerulyn for Caroline is a "bad" name - unless it's a genuine name somewhere in the world! I hope I've just made that up. I'm not a fan of Jaymz (James) or Mykel (Michael) either.
Matthias, Mattheau, Matthew... any other regional varient, that's just fine and celebrates the world people that we are and our heritage.
Gladys is not popular atm but still a good name. (I wouldn't go for it as it means "lame" but there's nowt wrong with the actual name.)
eta- Skye, just because I wouldn't have chosen the spelling Jazmyne, doesn't mean it's wrong. At least you can look at the name and see how it is pronounced. It's not in my top 10 - but I bet the names I would have in there wouldn't be anywhere near your top 10 either. We're different and that's good. But crazy spellings I do dislike a LOT. Different spellings I can at least risk a pronounciation of - not phased. Not a fan but don't really dislike them either. I can see how they sound, that's the main thing.
