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

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.

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.

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.
