I swear, the area I grew up is a breeding ground for horrific names.

From various articles/obituaries/photos/first birthday announcements:


Kaiyah and Madisyn (twin girls)
Hadleigh
Xenia
Asia
Uganda
Demetria
Micaela
Fawn

Micaela is actually a legit name -- it's the Spanish version of Michaela, pronounces slightly differently. I actually like it.

The rest, though? Ewww.

Of all the countries to name one's child after, why pick Uganda? I don't like any country names, but even Ireland and India are better than that.

I hate the name Mikaela/Michaela/McKayla/etc., but I think Micaela is now my favorite spelling.

I once knew a Granada.

I would've liked Hadleigh and Madisyn had they been spelt Hadley and Madison. And Xenia just makes me think of aliens...

wow,those are awful!
Uganda?

I just can't get over 'Uganda'.

Xenia is likely after the Russian saint. IMHO, the life of St Xenia makes her name very special indeed.

I love Hadley, but not Hadleigh...

I love Hadleigh, I don't know why but I had a dream a few months ago that I had a daughter named Hadleigh before I was ever even aware of the name.

Xenia is a legit name. Although unusual and obscure, I've always seen it in baby name books and also knew a girl with the name

Uganda??

I like Xenia. It's a Greek concept that simultaneously means hospitality and the courtesy a guest would show the host.
