Aidda. How do you even pronounce that? Ada? Ida? Eye-eda?

Also, a co-worker and his wife are expecting a daughter in August. The wife wanted Jaye, he wanted Delilah or Savannah. They ended up with Kennedy Jaye, and will call her Kenna Jaye. I don't much like it.

Full article here. Humor doesn't depend on knowing anything about hockey. Some highlights:

6 | DYSIN MAYO
His first name is vacuum cleaner and his second name is a condiment. Come on now. Seriously, this is like what would happen if someone lied about having a boyfriend, and then, pressed to give his name, looked around the room and said things they saw. "Uhhhh... Cookies... Lagostina. Cookies Lagostina. He's Italian. Cookies is a nickname. His real name is... Blender... Blendan... Brendan! Brendan 'Cookies' Lagostina."

4 | CLINSTON FRANKLIN
I know how this happened. His dad wanted the manly "Clint", for his favourite actor, or maybe his favorite Howard brother. But his mom wanted the classier "Winston". And so they reached a compromise. I once met an Irish girl named "Teshawna" who fell victim to this unfortunate conflict-resolution-by-way-of-name-foul.

3 | KAAPO KAHKONEN
When his name was announced, I misheard it as "Taco Kahkonen", which is better, in my opinion. But I digress. If you made up a Fin, and said his name was Kaapo Kahkonen, people would accuse you of mocking the good people of Finland. Which I would never do, even if this kid's name sounds like the noise you make when you accidentally inhale a cat hair.
