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.

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.
