I was looking through my cousin's yearbook and I was writing down all the interesting names or terrible spellings of normal names.  These kids are all  6-11 years old.

Viktoriya
Danila (boy)
Kiana
Broden
Dallas (girl)
Demitri
Mercaydes
Pari (girl)
Ekaterina (not an unusual name, I just don't see it that often)
Ckiara
Tommy Lee (this one made me laugh and he is a little Asian boy, which I found interesting)
Aynsley (girl)
Paradise (girl)
Claribel (too cow-ish)
Newton
Phaedra
Kayin (boy)
Cullen
Love
Lovie
Josue (anyone know how to pronounce this?)

Also I saw this name in the obituaries today, Friendly Marie, she was 96.

My name is Viktoriya, so I'm kind of used to it :) Danila looks like a different spelling of Danylo, the Ukrainian form of Daniel (not sure if that's what the parents were going for.) Not a fan of Dallas on a girl.. and Josue looks like it'd be prn. Ho-sway. :)

I do too!

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

It is Ho-sway; Spanish form of Joshua, I think.

I've heard Danila on a boy before...which makes me think its legit.

[missmaxattax.livejournal.com]

Danila looks like when the father reallly wants his child to be named after him but it's a girl instead of a boy so they just made Daniel to be "girly"... but it's a boy. o.O

Pari looks like it should be Paris.

Ekaterina makes me think of Carmen Electra.

How do you pn Ckiara? C-K iara?

The only ones I could even remotely come close to liking:
Dallas
Demitri
Tommy Lee... but him being asian makes it so adorable and hilarious at the same time. lol.

I had a great-great-aunt named Ruth Lovey. She was the last of thirteen kids; apparently, my great-great-grandparents were running out of names by the time she was born.

Mercaydes is the biggest WTF on this list.

excuse me while i go throw up all over my house. holy wow.

viktoriya and paradise are by FAR the worst, imo.

[notmybusiness.livejournal.com]

Viktoriya looks like some kid trying (and failing miserably) to sound out the spelling of Victoria.

And a big WTF to Broden, Mercaydes (same deal as Viktoriya), Paradise, and Lovie. Love is a little less weird, but not much. Not a fan of Newton either.

For some reason -- possibly because of my fascination with Romance languages, which tend to hold to the rule that a word ending in 'a' is feminine, and 'o' masculine -- I never like boy names that end in 'a' or girl names that end in 'o', because it seems backwards to me.

That was a long rant against Danila, but seriously... Haha.

And I tend to hate names that sound made up to me, like Danila, Kiana, Broden, Kayin, and Josue.

And I tend to hate creative spellings and 'unique' names, which pretty much means the entire list.

So basically I hate this whole list so much, haha.

The only one I really like is Kiana.

Apart from immediately thinking that Danila and Viktoriya should get married and have a kid called Vanila, Claribel is the best name on that list, which is kind of depressing. I don't like Cullen, but it has happy connotations of the Twilight series... :-)
Friendly Marie... that's kind of sweet, hehe. Reminds me of a woman I know called Happy...

Like:

No idea what's going on with "Ckiara"

[krosp.livejournal.com]

Looks like even people born 100 years ago have my middle name...lol

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I really like Phaedra, actually.

[poutyshorty.livejournal.com]

I knew a girl at school named Ekaterina (she'd be 20 or 21 now), she was Russian and called herself Kate.

I don't like any of the other names >_>

[classiestkid.livejournal.com]

I like Love, actually.
