Wow. Just wow.

I only like the twins' names!

Draydon is one of the ugliest names I've ever seen.
And Maykin? If that's supposed to be Megan, then that's very sad.

Jurnee? oh for the love of all that's holy...

Galena isn't bad...Greek derived maybe? Feminine of Galen? Jeroham, Canaan and Levi are Bible names. Nicolai is Russian and Ukrainian for Nicholas. The twin names are nice, especially the two girls. Those are names they won't have to be embarassed of. Otherwise these parents need a good swift kick.

One of my coworkers was named Galena. I want to say she's Russian, but I'm not entirely sure. Galena is also a mineral.

oh dear

I presume Fenix is meant to be Phoenix, but is Jurnee meant to be Journey??

Rustyn...is this the *classy* version of Rusty? A brother for Rustiana.

Reinder - a great mystery. Wrong spelling of Reindeer or Reminder?

Jaymez is sad, too.

Sophia is the only one I like, but why did they pair it with Paisleigh? Yuck.

[blue-suspenders.livejournal.com]

There are some strange ones in there...

Out of those I like Julia, Suzanne, Levi, Nicolai and Sophia.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

Landyn Jean - Ewwwewwwewwwwwww.
Rilya Nina - Again.
Kaden Nashay - aaaaaand again.
Maykin DanyceAnn - I'm sensing a pattern here.
Abby Natalyn - Abigail, yes. Abby by itself, no. And wtf is with that middle name?
Sophia Paisleigh - Love Sophia, and even Paisley would be OK, but Paisleigh?
Harmony Rain - Eww.
Rowan Jane - Yuck.
Lorelai - It's okay, but not one I'd use.
Jaydn - Uggghhhh.
Jurnee - Uhhh Journey?
Galena - Ewww.
Lydiah - WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THIS TO THIS NAME??? Lydia is gorgeous. I would like to smack this kid's parents.
Mahala - Not diggin' it.
Emery - Same here. I mean, what if the girl wants to be a nail technician. Emery uses emery boards? Uhhhh.
Myla - Yeah, no.

Anthony Iturriaga - Love Anthony.
Jaymez Ryder - WHAT THE HELL??? What is the problem with JAMES?
Nathan Alexzander - Eh, not a fan of the spelling of Alexzander, but it's better than JAYMEZ.
Draydon Rustyn - Oh good Lord. I love how neither of these names are actually names, or even words, and it sounds like they're saying that Draydon is rusting.
Chuba William Joshua - CHUBA??? Couldn't they have stuck with William Joshua?
Sebastian Reinder (???) - Love Sebastian, but could they at least spell Reindeer correctly if they MUST do this to their son?
Westin - Eww.
Fenix - As if Phoenix wasn't bad enough . . .
Jaylun - *dies*
Jeroham - *dies again*
Canaan - Eh. Too Biblical for me and I don't like it much anyway. But at least it's spelled correctly and, like, a name!
Levi - LOVEEEE this name. It's my current #1 for a boy.
Nicolai - Love it. I prefer Nicolas, but that's nothing wrong with this one, either.
Aizen - oh dear Lord. So now we're changing d's to z's in these godforsaken names, too?
DeMarion - Uh, no.

Caroline Jane and Julia Suzanne - Love both of them.
Emma and Elijah - I love Elijah. These sound okay together, but I don't like Emma that much (I prefer Emily) and they're too matchy for my tastes, but they're not horrible.

[sharon20lostie.livejournal.com]

Jurnee?

I think its perfectly possible the mother isn't smart and actually thinks that's how you spell Journey.

[twolittlelines.livejournal.com]

Girls:
Landyn Jean - not liking the random "y" look, like Jean
Rilya Nina - don't like
Kaden Nashay - don't like
Maykin DanyceAnn - someone else said it makes them want to say Dance Ann - my mind read it as Dancey Ann - I would never have come to Danyce (dan-eece) alone.
Abby Natalyn - don't like Abby as a stand alone
Sophia Paisleigh - meh
Harmony Rain - Cute
Rowan Jane - unsure; unusual name + plain name doesn't sit right
Lorelai - like Lorelei
Jaydn - don't like
Jurnee - ick
Galena - ga-lee-na - okay
Lydiah - Lidia is nice, no extra letters required
Mahala - don't like it - though don't mind Mahalia
Emery - sounds nice but I don't like the emery board association either
Myla - meh

Boys:
Anthony Iturriaga - like Anthony though wouldn't use it
Jaymez Ryder - Jaymez!? Because James was just so horrible. :P No, makes me want to say Jay-mez, not James.
Nathan Alexzander - not keen on the extra letter in Alexander
Draydon Rustyn - ick
Chuba William Joshua - Chuba?
Sebastian Reinder (???) - hoping Reinder is his mother's maiden name or similar
Westin - don't like
Fenix = weird spelling
Jaylun - ick
Jeroham - don't like
Canaan - don't like
Levi - don't like
Nicolai - like Nikolai
Aizen - ick
DeMarion - another maiden name?

When the heck did Pasleigh become a name? Or Paisley, for that matter. It's gross.

Jurnee Smollett, actress from Cosby and The Gridiron Gang. Since I've seen it before, I guess I don't think it's as bad. It's not great though, do not get me wrong. Her siblings are Jazz, Jocqui, Jake, Jojo and Jussie.

Caroline Jane is pretty. Maybe a little plain, if anything.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I think Paisley is gross too. Hate the pattern.

[wistfuljen.livejournal.com]

so. many. y's. Good lord. For about 2 seconds I actually considered naming my son Holdyn instead of Holden. I am SO GLAD I resisted that impulse. I don't even know where it came from! Reading too many birth announcements (even seven years ago) I suppose.
