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. :)

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

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

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.

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...

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 >_>
