2008 Kindergarten Graduates

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

I've finally found my sister's K5 graduation program! The kids were cute, but some of their names were definitely not. I italicized my little sis, and I've put asterisks next to the names I like (not counting the actual spellings). And for background, these little rugrats were born in 2002-2003. :)

Kylah* (I like this without the 'h'.)
Kyia
Exodus
Amora
Aniyah (prn. uh-NEYE-uh)
Monet
Tamar*
Karma* (Poor child, they kept pronouncing her name like 'comma'.)
Janiyah (rhymes with Aniyah)
Courtney
Mia*
Sydney
Tatiana
Shataeya
Leanne
Danielle
Kennedy
Destiny
Alexa

Ronald
Anthony

I wonder what her sibs names are...Leviticus and Plague?

i like how there are 3 Jalens in the class. lol

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

Actually, two were in one class and the other was in the second. I found it amusing how they all happened to spell it the same way, given that there is a gazillion ways to do so. XD

I hadn't realized Courtney was reappearing so much again. My friend has a 5 year old named Courtney, too.

>>Janiyah (rhymes with Aniyah)

I'm not sure how Aniyah is pronounced. Can you explain?

The only name I like here is Joshua. Keonje's not bad, either.

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

Aniyah is pronounced uh-NEYE-yuh, with the 'neye' rhyming with the words 'eye', 'die', and 'sky'. Janiyah is the same name, except with the 'j' in the front.

Hope that makes sense. :)

3 Jalens? That sucks. I know a girl named Tamar. She was born 1989-ish though.

Re: I like....

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. My mom always thinks I'm exaggerating when it comes to popular/trendy names like that, when I say that they'll never be "just Jalen", but this is living proof. (It's funny, though, since when she was growing up there were dozens of other Cheryls around.) My sister is one of about ten Monets in her school.

Yeesh, it gets worse and worse every year... O_o

monet = <3
that's the only one i'm in love with... guilty pleasure :)

[aislincalum.livejournal.com]

Ack! Most of these are terrible! I would love to meet Exodus' parents.

3 Jalens in one class?! The name is okay but that is just sad. It throws me back to my childhood days of Jennifers and Stephanies.

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

Well, I combined the two class rosters, so the division is 2 in one class and 1 in the other, but it's still upsetting.
