Ryder Allegra
Zora Sabharwal
India Tia-sarye Nevaeh
Sanja Swan
Crislyn
Haelyn
Rhiannon Paige (not so much unusual, but I LOVE this)
Barbara (not a weird name, but not one I've ever heard used for a modern baby)
Nandi Lelithia
Malia
Jennalyn Marie
Esther Lola (this just seems like a strange combo to me)
Izabelle Victoria

Dane Maverick Ocean
Nicholas Fabio (not the Nicholas part, but..."Fabio?")

And...the most WTF-inducing for last:
Lasso

I love the name "Dane". Where the hell do you live though?

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

New York City. Hence the odd mishmash of ethnicities. I left out the ones that weren't so much odd as just very...culture-specific.

I love Dane, too. I used to know someone whose youngest child was named Dane. I can't remember his middle name, though.

[ky-whitney.livejournal.com]

I just think of Dane Cook.

I did a carseat several months ago for a Romeo Armani... Fabio doesn't sound so weird anymore. ;)

[ky-whitney.livejournal.com]

With such a strong last name, you think the first wouldn't be so unique.

[ginky.livejournal.com]

Armani is the middle name, can't remember the last name...they were so memorable, I was putting a carseat in in 100 degree weather and the mom was outside smoking a cigarette while Romeo "helped" me...

Did they realize Allegra is a medication?

[x-lostinyou.livejournal.com]

Who wants to bet India Nevaeh (I won't attempt to spell that other name) becomes a stripper? It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy... name her that and she will...

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

Whats the deal with Allegra? I've heard that a few times now. I'm just waiting for baby Flonase!

I like Melia, but not Malia.

[x-lostinyou.livejournal.com]

Probably, but it was a name first, so *shrug*. It's not the worst, and at least they used it as a MN. Although she probably would have been better off named after an allergy medicine for her FN than being stuck with 'Ryder'... ick.

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

Ryder doesn't bother me. And I've never heard Allegra (except that kids show that used to be on) as a name so I automatically, and I think most people would, think of the Rx.

[x-lostinyou.livejournal.com]

Well, it's Italian, so that's probably why it seems normal to me. It's a common term heard in music as well because it means 'lively', so it's a tempo instruction.

[ky-whitney.livejournal.com]

They better be rich with a middle name like Armani.

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

Haelyn is so horrible. I think it's the worst. It just stings in my ear to hear it. I also hate Izabelle.

I like Dane Maverick and Nandi, although I'd never use it except as a nn. Not sure for what though.

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

haha.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

there was a girl who went to the school at which I work, named Izsabella.

[lostrocket.livejournal.com]

Ditto Haelyn. It just seems bizarre. I wonder what it's supposed to be..

[sayga.livejournal.com]

yeah, malia begins with mal, which of course is a prefix meaning "bad." i don't like it.

[sayga.livejournal.com]

like van halen?

[sayga.livejournal.com]

i was reading my FL and someone had posted a list similar to this one, and at the bottom was "Depeche Mode" written in bold. i thought it was posted to this community, and was like, "no WAY someone named their kid Depeche Mode." then i realized she was listing music groups from some cds she'd just found, or soemthing. whew.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_x_blackroses_x/]

I wish they would refrain from assigning nice names to medications. :(

I always think of "Allegra's Window."

Anyway, wow. Lasso, huh. I guess Esther Lola is my favorite combo. Some of those are very odd indeed.

[ivy-fairchance.livejournal.com]

Esther Lola is very Madonna.

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

exactly!

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

lol! I think I'll name my kid Aero Smith :)

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

that's what I was thinking. So weird.

[cherryrider.livejournal.com]

Well, shit son. Thats why I save all my "unique names" as middle names. Thats going to be one weird kindergarten class. And whats up with Ryder Allegra I just saw that commercial 2 seconds ago.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

I used to work with a kid named Armani Xavier. His sister's name was Imari.

[stacilia.livejournal.com]

My great grandmothers name is Esther. Its been a long time since I've seen that one used.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I like Ryder Allegra.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I absolutely think about the musical connection "lively" I really like Allegra.
If i was feeling particuarly musical on the day I give birth to twin girls (hehhe) They would be Allegra & Aria.

[special-girl.livejournal.com]

I like the name Rhiannon, with another middle name.

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

lol @ VanHalen & Depeche Mode. not that either one would be all that surprising in this day & age.

[ginky.livejournal.com]

Well, I was putting in their FREE carseat, so no, not really.
