Oh my. I just don't understand.

Dannyel, Loo'ci, and Bay'Lee really got ripped off.

Zoeey, Jaynee, Tryston, Jesikah, and Benjii are unfortunate, but not as bad as the others.

And Elijah, Rebekah (that's the biblical spelling, right?), Aimee, Rachel, Sarah, and Emma, are mysteriously normal.

I don't get how the kre8ive names and the more traditional ones are mixed in so randomly... Like, did they flip a coin each time she was pregnant as to whether they should use spell the name the way it was in the baby book, or make up something completely?

Funky pronunciation of elijah? How is that funky? :(

It's either EL-lie-jhuh, or E-lie-jhuh..

[alexandria-skye.livejournal.com]

oh, i read it E-lie and nothing else *blush*

I like Haydn. He is one of my favorite composers.....assuming its pn HIGH-din and not like Hayden.

Exactly ... if it's pronounced like that, then I'm cool with it, but not Hay-din.

Elisha is Eli Manning's real name. (I'm not a football fan at all, I just know a lot about celebrity names ;-) )
