What were they thinking?
Working with kids, I'm always fascinated (and bewildered) by parents' choice of names. I was looking up some names and meanings on the net, and found this page called "BABY'S NAMED A BAD, BAD THING", which lists some forum inquires of what people are naming their kids these days.
---------------
For a girl : Tierrainney Mackanzie [last name]
for a boy : Tristin Gabrielle Reese [last name]
Oh yeah. Every boy wants Gabrielle as a middle name.. And that girl's name could use a few more syllables. Hell, if you're going to give your kid a cool super-villain name like Tyranny, spell it right.
Andreana Calida [last name]
Damita Nicole [last name]
Adoncia Noella [last name]
Kamaria May [last name]
Elliot Ness [last name]
In order: An earthquake fault, a cheesy snack chip, a giant snake, a fried octopus appetizer and an untouchable are not things to name your child after.
Kellyna Nychole
Taryn Mykah
Mykenzie Kathryn for girls.
This woman was indicted under the Flagrant Over-Use of the Letters K and Y Act of 1983.
Zannia Amari Smith
I guess people are put off by weird names like Smith.
Ashlynn
Brooklynn
When are these folks going to really push the envelope and put a 3rd 'N' to the end of a name for no reason?
"I grew up with a "grown-up" name (Victoria) and a "kid" name (Tori), as did my sister. I have always liked having both available....so we plan on naming our firstborn son Creighton."
At last! A breath of logic! When he's little, he can be called....Crate of Shit. Or One-Ton Creighton. Or Mr. Defies the I before E rule. And when he's older, you won't know what he's called, 'cause you won't be on speaking terms.
