As in, can't purchase because of their name. I will start with the obvious so we get it out of the way now... Karlskrona.
My list (I'm sure I will think of more as I see other's lists):
Limes
Junkers
U-Boat
Croton
Seagull
Wanker
Shinola
Lew and Huey
Undive
Deep Blue
BTW... a number of these make designs I actually like very much. But......

I struggle with Orient. Don’t care for the logo either.
The teenager in me finds it difficult to take Ball seriously as well....hehehe

Limes and Deep Blue doesn’t bother me. Most of the others I would never consider purchasing regardless of name.
There’s many I see these days whose names I don’t like.
To be honest, breitling is a weird name to me as well as Audemars etc but I can look past it.

I don't mind so much if the brand is someone's surname, like Breitling (Léon Breitling) or Audemars (Jules Louis Audemars), or even Ball (Webb C. Ball)...Parnis nope.

Ball (hehe, hehe, he said ball)

Blancpain. I know it is the founder's last name, but I just keep thinking "white bread".
Still love the watches though.
