Just saw the names of 3 little siblings on Facebook:

Keaghan, Korhyn, and Kahrsten.

The kicker? They're all girls.

Why on earth do people do this to their children? WHY?!?!?!

I like Keegan and Corrine, if that's how the cre8ive spellings of the first two are pronounced...

I am really struggling to figure out how we're supposed to pronounce Kahrsten. I'm thinking Carson, with a t. Somehow, I think this person could expect it to be pronounced like Kirsten, Kiersten, or Ka-risten.

Revolting, all of them.

I know someone with the last name Karsten, so that's what I'm thinking when I see it...

Wow, I have got to be reading "Korhyn" wrong. CORE-in, which in my mind sounds exactly like whorin'.

The other two are horrible as well. Ugh.


*facepalm* A second before I posted, I realized that was supposed to be Corinne. Now I'm doubly mad, I have a friend named Corinne, and it is an absolutely lovely, feminine name. Spelled like that it is pure ugly trailer trash. Gross. And you can barely tell it is suppose to be Corinne.

This is why name-changes were created. Just for this.

Wow. My niece's name is Corynne and...I never realized it could be butchered and killed quite that way.
