babynamesOne 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?
