i totally agree. i had isabel on my list for ages (it still sort of is, but isnt my number one anymore like it was) and it was all basically for the issie nickname. its not necessary to trash the name with z's in order to call your child izzie/izzie (i pronounce them the same)

I know a few girls who did the ZZZZZZ thing to that name and it always makes me really sad. but according to izzzzabelle #1's mom, I'm totes classist for hating "urban names"

augh! its NOT an urban name! its a classy, traditional name SPELLED WRONG.

tell her she is the wrong kind of classist for not learning how to spell.

Agree that you're a classist if she agrees she's an idiot, hahaha!

I'm curious, though, what is an urban name? Is that like putting a number in the middle of the name? Or just generally spelling your child's name wrong or making up a name so they will be cool and successful in life? Is it like the lady whose name was Scarlett Fever and she was an amateur rapper or dj or something like that.

I'm not sure what exactly an urban name is. but if hating misspelled names and general, voluntary illiteracy makes me classist then I willing gladly take that term. and own that shit.
