I just saw a post on a Names group on Facebook and I immediately thought, "oh God..."  I really want to say this person is joking, but her friend joined around the same time and it just didn't seem like it was a joke.

Her names for her unborn kid are:
Tia Marie Jesilane Taiyten
or
Carter Blaze Nethin Derrick

Her current kids are Jayden and Zakarie (both boys).

The kicker is she claims to like traditional names.

On another note, I just saw a name on TV.  The girl's name is Cjersti.  I have no idea how it is pronounced.

Would Jesilane be pronounced as Jessalyn???
And could Cjersti be as Kiersti???

HORROR..

Kiersti was my first thought for Cjersti, too, though it might be a little different (KYAIRS-tee, maybe, instead of KYEERS-tee).

The one that's really getting me is Taiyten. Tia, Marie, Carter, and Jayden are normal (ish, even if Jayden's grossly trendy), Blaze, Derrick, and Zakarie are just misspelled, and I'm assuming Nethin is Nathan or very similar. Jesilane is a little odd, but similar to Jessica, Jessamyn, and Jessalyn, so it's not bothering me much. But Taiyten? I've heard Tate and Tatum and Taylor, but...bleah?

derrick isnt actually misspelled. its a valid alternate spelling of derek. i agree with you about taiyten though, thats the one that really got me. ick.

[dustkitty.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wasn't sure if Derrick was valid or not, but it looks wrong to me, being used to seeing Derek. Technically, Blaze isn't really misspelled, either; it just makes it a word-name instead of Blaise, but blah.

Wait, maybe Taiyten is Titan? Still awful, maybe more awful, but that might make a little more sense.

i actually don't mind the name Blaise. ( but then i'm a harry potter geek and he was a pretty kickass character).

but i don't like the way she spelt it, Blaze????

I don't mind Carter Blaze, but the rest of the name is too much and just ugh.
Tia Marie Jesilane Taiytin...no comment.

Cjersti looks like a butchered Scandinavian name...I believe I read a book once with a main character called Kjerstin.

I used to own a horse nicknamed Blaze.

Bad choices, all around.

Tia Marie...very close to Tia Maria there...

I don't like any of the names.

[rorylareina.livejournal.com]

I know a Kjirsten who pronounces the first syllable of her name like "cheer."

[hells-librarian.livejournal.com]

I bet Cjersti is a variation of Kjersti, a Scandinavian name. I think the Scandinavian name is pronounced Cheer-stee, but I'm not sure.

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Yep, it sounds like Cjersti is a big mess of my name - Kirsty, which is a Scottish variant on the Scandinavian name.

[searlait.livejournal.com]

Like Kirsty, I think?

[medusa.livejournal.com]

I have a Norwegian friend called Kjersti, which is pronounced in the same way as 'Kirsty'. :)

Tia Marie and Blaise Derrick are not bad names.

The entire combo plus Jayden and Zakarie (W T F) boggles me.

[sweatydog.livejournal.com]

I mean Tia, Marie, Blaise, Derrick.
