Okay, I have never seen this one before...I looked at the receipt of a customer when they signed a bill: Rise. Female.

Thoughts?

Some strange names...

[charuby.livejournal.com]

Here are some strange names I've come across as I've been working recently. I work in a shop and parents are always shouting after their kids:

Girls:

Shadney
Kyri
Shaniqua (SHAN-EE-KWA
Cadence
Boadicea (BOW-DA-SIA)

Boys:

Sylar (SY-LA)
Diesel

I quite like Cadence. Hate Shaniqua and I'm just WTFing at Shadney because it just sounds so... gross. Boadicea is quite a handful to put on a little girl, but I like its origins. Kyri just reminds me of Kyrii, which is a Neopet from a virtual pet site.

Sylar. Again, it's a weird name for a child OR anyone for that matter, but I like that it came from Heroes, one of my favourite TV shows. And Diesel? Seriously? Okay for a pet, but for a child? No. And what about when the kid grows up?

So, what do you think?
