8 week old twin girls came into the store yesterday:

Nemesis Arian
Odessey Re'Ann

I was just...wow...so I had to see what the mother looked like. Yeah, she was 15. This person is one reason why teen moms get stereotyped. Does she even know what Nemesis means, I wonder? She didn't speak English very well, so I guess it's possible she doesn't. Also, there should be a fine for using an apostrophe. blah.

I hate that. It's like when people name their kids Destiney. It's already a word, people! It has a correct spelling, and that's not it!

I sometimes when if the nurses and the people who fill out and file the birth certificates ever want to smash the parents' heads in.

Nemesis? Seriously? That's beyond terrible.

ETA- And I just realized that the middle name is Arian. Like, Aryan? Oy.

Nemy could be a cute nickname, though?

When I had my son the nurses all seemed sooo excited that I didn't name him Aidan/Jayden/Brayden/Kaiydyn/Frayden/Bavaidyynn etc. Then they told horror stories of the names they've heard. I bet they really do want to slap some people.

I totally wouldn't blame said nurse for just being like "Fuck this, I'm naming this kid something socially acceptable"

Terrible. BOTH of those kids are going to grow up and eventually learn the meaning of those words and wonder why their mother had them at all, since she so obviously hates them.
