babynamesWe got our yearbooks yesterday, and today I went through it looking for odd names...
Those are just some of them. Is it suddenly cool to not only A) give your child an atrocious name, but also B) Spell it obviously wrong? No! It's not cool. Geez.
Grayseigh Gold- (Gray... Gold? I'm sure that's what they were going for. Colors.)
Canibal Kluck- (*laughs* Hannibal is bad enough, but CANIBAL! Eek.)
Flowur Magnolia- (*blink* No comment.)
Sinthieuh Gregg- (Cynthia? I guess kre8yvity is important?)
Lewci Hummble- (Lucy. Luci. Lucie, even, and that's taking it far. But Lewci?!)
Pepsi Martin- (I bet she has a sister named Coke, and another named Pepper)
Jew Russe- (Russe is the French word for Russian, isn't it? Maybe he's part Russian, part Jewish?)
Hehvan Org- (Sounds like you're describing an orgasm. "It was pure heaven.")
And trust me... there were more.

Date: 2006-05-28 10:23 am (UTC)Have never quite seen the logic/appeal of creative spellings, and find 'brand names' a bit tacky (unless they were legit names before e.g Levi)
I used to love the name Flower, when I was sixteen and trying to be a hippy ... grew out of it though.
Magnolia is the only name on that list I like.
Spelt properly Lucy Humble is nice, has a kinda 'puritan' thing going.
Gracie isn't so bad either [prefer Grace nn Gracie though, less cutesy], don't generally have a problem with colour names but two together is a bit much particually when the kinda clash IRL.
And do agree that Clara-May Parker is stunning.
