You named your kid after a part of the human nipple??

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

One of my friends is a speech therapist at an elementary school, and she posted on her Facebook about some of the, shall we say, interesting names of her students. I just had to share these because they're a classic case study in how not to name your kids.

Kwntyn--Pronounced like Quentin, but devoid of all regular vowels. An i, an e, heck even a y after the w would have made it slightly more tolerable.

Eriola--Yes, it pronounced like areola, the area surrounding a nipple.

Yaa--Pronounced like the word yah or yeah.

Krustini--Like the Italian bread.

NikeAira--It's pronounced Nike (like the shoe) Air-uh, she was named after the shoe, and apparently she is proud to tell everyone that she was named after the shoe.

Franchika

Iceez--Like Icees slushies?

Nokia--Yep, just like the cell phone company.

Jatwon Lakwon


Thoughts?

Eriola and Krustini are awful.

Nokia sounds like it's a Japanese name, and probably was before the phone company came out, so... that name's not so bad to me.

Jatwon Lakwon is pretty bad too... *shakes head*

Nokia's Finnish, actually, but as far as I know, it's not a personal name.

[cherryboomstick.livejournal.com]

Ah ok :)

Nokia is actually 100% Finnish, it's a name of a city here and also name of several companies that make cellphones, rubber boots, tires etc. It's not used as a personal name though.

roflmfao.... omg... that's so from 'Transformers'!!!!

Agent Simmons: Ooh. Nokia's are real nasty. You've gotta respect the Japanese. They know the way of the samurai.
Maggie Madsen: whispers Nokia's from Finland.
Keller: Yes, but he's, you know, a little strange. He's a little strange.

LOL see? Common mistake...

I think the two that bother me more are Iceez (that's a rapper name if I ever heard one) and NikeAira. Nike would almost be acceptable, because it was a Greek goddess before it was a shoe company. But combined, that's just really bad.

The ones that bother me least are Nokia, and maybe Yaa.

Actually, I know an "Aireola" too. (Spelled that way.) It seems nipple naming is way more common than you would think.

I think it is NikeAira that bothers the most. Why not class it up a bit with a brother they call DocMartin? That is just ridiculous.

OMG I didn't read that part, this made me laugh so hard!!!! XD

[lovequote.livejournal.com]

i work with two guys with strange names (first and last name): chin bum and kleang khorn (sounds like clang corn)

NikeAira.. oh my

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Wow, those are bad!

Actually, I've always kind of liked Nikè (NEEK-eh), like the goddess, but I'm afraid it will always be pronounced like Nike (the shoe).

[anapology.livejournal.com]

NikeAira is ridiculous, if she wasn't so proud she could always say she was named after the Roman Goddess.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

ahaha that's Crostini :D (prn Crow-STEE-nee)

I have to say I don't mind Nokia, but I definitely prefer Ikea (ee-KEH-ah in italian)

[spartan-picnic.livejournal.com]

Hahhah, I laughed at Ikea :D Anyway, Nokia is baaad.

NikeAira. Nice, that's classy.

[spartan-picnic.livejournal.com]

I live next to Nokia and had a violin teacher called Aira when I was younger.
