Just for fun, these are the names of several of my cousins' children and various other people I know what do you guys think?

Andrew John
Chase Creek
Aiyana Nicole

ETA: I originally typed Chase River, but that's wrong. It's Chase Creek, AND his dad wanted his first name to BE Creek and really pushed for the name River instead of Aiyana.

Bryant Wayne
Ethan Richard

Kylie Anne
Kirsten

Jamie Hope

Carson Rolla
Britni
Drake Marshall

Michael Philip

Jonathan
Brander
Takara

Austin Kyle

Naming your daughter something that ends in "i" is almost like condemning her to perpetual ditziness. Even if she's not a ditz, everyone will assume she's going to be.

My name is spelled with an "i" (Jeni) and people who don't know how my name is spelled before they really know me, like ALL of my husbands friends went "really? you spell it like that?" when they saw it written and a few actually said "but that seems....soo...flaky, and you're not!" it was funny because before they said that I'd never thought of it like that, and you are the only other person i've seen to think that way.

I don't know that I used to think of it that way, but my cousin is marrying a woman named Brandi. Who really, really is ditzy, and we always call her "Brandi with an 'i'". I'm not sure if I did think of it as ditzy before I met her, but now that I do it was like a whole world opened where everyone is like "Oh, yeah, ends in i? Ditz."
