Here's an interesting sibset heard on Maury on Friday:
Anthony
Allessa
Aushtyn & Aundrue (twin boys)

Thoughts?

Poor Anthony! He lost out on the "Cree8yve Nayme Spellying" lottery. He will be teased unmercifully at school!

Seriously, Allessa, Aushtyn and Aundrue? There is no way you can pronounce these as Alyssa, Ashton or Andrew. All vowels are ~NOT~ interchangeable! Adding a "u" after an "a" ~DOES~ change the pronunciation. Sheesh. English 101 here folks. :/

I thought they were going for a kre8iv twist on Austin not Ashton. Either way it sucks.

The names get progressively worse. I hope they're stopping at 4 kids because I can't imagine how you'd top those last two (maybe they'll start with random punctuation to go with the random spelling changes).

Hmmmmm. Maybe they ~were~ going for Austin. I saw the "sh" and thought it was Ashton they were butchering. Maybe it's supposed to by a mash-up of the two? Any way you slice it, it sucks like a Hoover.

She pronounced them like they're written.

ah-LESS-ah, OSH-ten, ON-dru.

I don't think that makes it better, though, haha.
