I totally have a thing for baby names.  Sometimes this fixation leads me to laugh at others.  Not the nicest, especially when my daughters name is considered strange to some.  However, at least my daughters name is an actual word, not a word contrived by throwing your cat at your keyboard or smoking crack and playing Boggle.  Her name is different, but it is spelled just like it sounds, saving her from going through life spelling her name out for all and sundry cause her mommeigh thought it would be kewt and klevehr to name her PighPur.
Yeah, I have issues.  Which brings us to…
Every year, the local paper in my area does a feature of babies born in the last year whose parents want to show their pics. Check it out…

The good names, kree8tyvely spelled for yewneekness!

Khloee, Kloey
Emalee
Lylian-sibling Lexii
Jaiymee (damn, not only did they get the double “e” in there but also a “y”. Well played, Jaiymee’s parents, well played.)

Now on to the WTF category:

THE GIRLS:

Paisley and Paizlee
Oaklee and Oaklie

Skyah
Kaydense (evil evil spelling)
Bentley
Kairi
Teiandra
Presley Rose
Londyn, London and another London

Breklynn and Breklyn (This to me sounds like the noise my cat makes just before he pukes on the carpet)

    About 1/2 way down that list I found myself saying “What the He**”
    Some need my 2 cents though.
    Harlie~ any little girl named that should come with a pole and pasties.
    Skyah~ Huh, sounds like someone who is a Star Wars fan with a speech impediment.
    Katilane Marhea~ diarreah…. I feel for her when she is learning to write her name.
    Remington~ I almost Named Colton this… Ben explained he would be called “Rem the fem” at school. So I re-thought my decision. I was in love with Remington Steele.
    Tenzing~ oh, that poor poor child. He will get beat up every day at school. and will spend the rest of his life explaining to people about his name. I am not even sure how it is said.

  2. Bonnie Says:

    Thanks for doing that BTW! It was fun!

    maybe if he’s asian he could get away with it…maybe.

    also, tildon? you know what his nickname will be? tildo…enough said.
    those are terrible terrible names…

  4. nick Says:

    also bonnie, i’m glad you named colton colton. remington steele wouldn’t have worked. and it sounds kind of like the name of a factory. he would’ve caught a lot of flack for that methinks.

  5. Natalie Says:

    I was just talking about this. I know someone who is named Valeria. It, along with some of the names on your list, sound like some disease you could pick up from a toilet seat.

  6. Bonnie Says:

    Let’s not forget Clamidia from Amy’s old work.

  7. Bonnie Says:

    Colton is still laughing over tildo! What a dork!

  8. tracylondon Says:

    Clamidia. I pray you are kidding me with this. And seriously, wouldn’t you change your name?

  9. Bonnie Says:

    Not kidding, ask Amy!

  10. Amy Says:

    When I worked at Primary’s we had a list of wacky names. Chlamydia was one of the girl names. (I’m still hoping the family was foreign and didn’t realize what it meant) There were also jems like Ajax (boy), Orange Peel, Sweet Peaches, Joyride (girl), KobeBryant California (girl), and Bodacious (boy).

  11. tracylondon Says:

    this is nick.

    you have got to be kidding me about the girl named joyride….those parents need to be tracked down and curbed…
    that is so terrible….

  12. Ben Says:

    Lyn knew of a Shithead pronounced shi-thead. For Real!

  13. Lynners Says:

    Holy freakin cow. What is up with people! My friend’s niece is named EmmaLeigh. Stupid right? Way to take a really nice, simple name and complicate it beyond reason!

    BTW poor little Shithead pronounces his name by blending the ‘th’ together as in ‘this’ and the ‘e’ and ‘a’ are separate syllables. (ey-ad) So it sounds nothing like what it looks, but I’m thinking the first day of every school year sucks rocks for him.
