Just thought I'd share some of these with you/ask what you thought of them...our church is running a daycamp this week, and I came across some really odd names/spellings while I was checking people in.

Khristian (is usally pronounced more like chris-chen than chris-tian)
Wil (I've never seen it spelled with one L? And that's his full name, it isn't shortened.)
Brantley (I've seen it before, but it still strikes me as odd)
Madisen
Meaghan
Quinten
Tali
Sage
Tallyn (pronounced like talon with an i)

There are also 5 Devons...2 spell it Devan, the others are spelled Devin, Deven, and Devon (Devon is the only guy). We also have a Hana and a Hannah. And Devon's brothers are named Drake and Dwight, it sounds like they were stretching for D names or something :/

Also- how would you pronounce Nicola? The only one I've ever known pronounced it nih-coh-luh or nih-cuh-luh, depending on who was talking to her...but a few days ago I heard someone pronounce it nih-cole-uh, was wondering what the most common is. I don't know if that made any sense, I'm horrible at spelling things phonetically.

I used to like Devin for a boy - hate it now, lol. Hannah, eh. Drake and Dwight, no thanks.

Nicola is me is NICK-uh-luh.


Khristian - I like it.
Wil - Ewww.
Brantley - Sounds like a stuck up, rich kid. Or a last name.
Madisen - Not a fan of the name; the spelling is okay.
Meaghan - I like it best Megan.
Quinten - Not bad. I prefer the -in ending.
Tali - Eh.
Sage - Like it!
Tallyn - I love how it looks, don't like the sound.
