VERY long list.

Just scanning through my school year book for 2006 while i should be working on major assignments...as you do of course.
And i came across some interesting names, mostly in years below mine, and some of our favourite kre8tif spellings. Some of these aren't bizzare as such, but i have not seen them around here as much as others.
A few of the boys names i had previously associated with girls [tory, mackenzie].

And it is interesting to note that the vast majority of those names came from kids who are a fair few years younger than i am. I found very few names of kids older than 15/16 that were "interesting" or "creative".


What is your opinions on these names?

jonathan is the typical spelling.
my name is hana, but it's not pronounced the same as hannah.
i think teagen-ryleigh looks really tacky&kind of trashy..especially with the weird spellings.

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

How do you pronounce Hana?

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

hah-nuh. it rhymes with nirvana.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

FLOSSY???

I think of either fairy floss or dental floss. Neither are good for a name.

[rhondaaerosmith.livejournal.com]

that's the one that stuck out for me too!

[madshrubbery.livejournal.com]

I wonder if Flossy is glamorous?

[curious-cookie.livejournal.com]

Flossy is my sisters nickname =) lol. Honey, Dot and Floss- that was us.

[madshrubbery.livejournal.com]

Oh, I was just making a bad Fergie joke. :)

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

My nickname was Flossy as a child! I have no idea how it came about.

[depeche810.livejournal.com]

wow....I feel bad for the guy named Vuk. It sounds like f*ck no matter how you try to say it.

I also used to read the babysitters club books! I liked Claudia cause she was into art like I am!

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Actually, I know a guy named Vuk. It's pronounced 'VOOK'.

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

I agree, i can't get past how i would pronounce Vuk....
And Claudia was always my favourite too! Mostly coz of the junk food hidden in her room...lol

[xo-inthered.livejournal.com]

I actually love the name Claudia. I could never use it, cause of the BSC thing, but it's so pretty.
Josef makes me cringe.

[j0yous.livejournal.com]

My boyfriend's name is Josef; his dad is also Josef.
,

[xo-inthered.livejournal.com]

I went to school with a Josef, most vile person I have ever met. I can't separate the two.
I'm sorry if I offended you.

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

I think Josef is a European spelling - Greek or German, maybe - so it's not actually kre8if!

[xo-inthered.livejournal.com]

I think I like it a little better, now.
I went to primary school with a horrible child named Josef, so it's really just name association.

[politicking.livejournal.com]

Ainsleigh- i love this name for some reason, & this spelling of it.
Baidy- what?
Clothilde- LOL i have no idea!
Flossy- i was just singing this to the tune of "Bossy" hahah
Jocelle- hmm... i'm torn.
Madelyne- i love this name, this spelling isn't too too bad.
Teagen-Ryleigh- eugh.

Byron- no matter how hard i try, i just do not like this name.
Jonathan- every Jonathan i know is spelled tihs way.

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

Ok i just looked this one up.

Clothilde...it's french. Pronounced klo-TEELD.

Unsure how i feel about that one.

[clfrnahreicme.livejournal.com]

i wanna do this too! how do you make it under a cut

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Go here (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=75). Enjoy =P

As for the names, I like Paige! And I believe that strangely enough, 'Mackenzie' is growing on me...

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

Flossy, to me, is a horse's name. I'm not sure why I have that unshakable mental connection. I looked it up on Google to see if it was just me, but apparently not.

Every time I see Claudia, BSC is the first thing I think of! Which reminds me that the first time I saw The Horse Whisperer, I noticed Scarlett Johannson (or whatever it is) in the credits and thought, "Charlotte Johannson? Baby-Sitter's Club? Dawn's favorite charge?"

I couldn't help myself here..

In Norwegian, Lakrisen means "the licorice" (it would probably be understood as that in Swedish and Danish as well). It's the actual word meaning the licorice, translated both within meaning and literally. I'm a fan of names that aren't held by everyone and their grandmother, but I'm fairly sure I couldn't have stomached that one, regardless of where in the world I encountered the person.. I'm aware that Norwegian isn't a language spoken or even understood by that many people, and I'd probably get used to it with time, but still, Lakrisen to me equals "the licorice". Tastes good, though..

The Lady 529

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

:D is it really!?
I wonder if his parents knew that.
Well honest to God i have not made a single one of these names up :P

[lady529.livejournal.com]

Yup. Lakris = Licorice. -en = suffix meaning 'the'. So Lakrisen = the Licorice.

I hope his parents haven't got a clue, 'cause honestly, that'd be rather bad if they knew or named the poor lad that for a laugh or something..

Haha, don't worry, I didn't think so, I just couldn't not say what it means here. That's one out of four or five on that list that I haven't heard before, and being a Norwegian that's travelled quite a lot I both know how many strange names there are out there (judging by which languages you speak), and that most Norwegian names are thought to be jokes - people don't think names like Alvhild (women's name) or Endre (men's name) are actual names. Not to mention Odd (ud), Even (eh-ven), Are (a-reh), Simen (unfortunately pronounced like semen) or Bård (pronounced like 'bored'). Funny thing, names : )

The Lady 529

[lady529.livejournal.com]

Oh, Odd, Even, Are, Simen and Bård are men's names, and I know at least one of each : )

I really like Ainsleigh, Brigid and Rumer.
