I found some names in my local newspaper that made my jaw drop. I thought I would share and see what everyone thinks.

Sibset #1:
Ziciah Linnea (female, age 3 years)
Cinjin (male, age 3 months)

Sibset #2:
Kolby (male)
Kubota (male)

Alright, so Kolby I've heard of before, but the rest of the names, WTF?

Cinjin is a way cool name. The others, not so much. :)

I really like Linnea, actually do know someone named that. It's a kind of flower (native to Scandinavia I believe), pronounced lin-ay-uh.
Not keen on Kolby, just Kole/Cole is nice though.
The rest, umm yeah

Cinjin is the phonetic spelling of St. John. IMO it's an idiotic first name no matter how you spell it.

[imyourrapunzel.livejournal.com]

I've seen the name Sinjin before (I think it's in the Sims 2). I don't like any of the names.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

I like Ziciah.

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

Ziciah Linnea sounds like some Latin science term. And for some reason I actually kind of like Cinjin!

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

Cinjin sounds like Sin Gin. Two things I don't like.

I've seen Colby spelled like that, but never with a K and none of the other names before.

Then again, when working at a collection agency years ago, we came across a hospital bill where someone named her twin sons Lemonjello and Oranjello. Unbelievable. Lemon jello and orange jello. We were cracking up over that for days.

I like Linnea. The rest are really bad.

Cinjin reminds me of Four Weddings and a Funeral where Rowan Atkinson keeps messing up the wedding he's performing and calling everyone by the wrong name. Cinjin was one of the names.

a characters name in a book I'm reading is Linnea, how is that pronounced?

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

I don't think I could ever name a kid anything that reminded me of Sin! (or Gin, but definately not sin!)

[ghost-dance.livejournal.com]

Cinjin is normally spelled St John, but i'd stay away from it anyway.

Linnea is a very nice name.

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

Kubota is a brand name for farm machinary... hehe.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I've always thought it was pronounced LIN-ee-ah.
sageharper says it's lin-ay-uh though and she knows someone by that name so shes's probably right.

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

thanks!

[itcouldbelove.livejournal.com]

Ew, really, you think? I can't say I'm a fan at all.

[itcouldbelove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Linnea is the only name I like of all of them. So I getcha. :)

[itcouldbelove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Linnea is the only one I am like, "well, alright then," with it... but the rest, not so much.

[itcouldbelove.livejournal.com]

lol!

[itcouldbelove.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaha, I told my mom that and she goes, "People are sick!"

[itcouldbelove.livejournal.com]

*I* have been pronouncing it Lynn-ee-uh, but who knows if I'm right.

[museofmyself.livejournal.com]

I really like it. I've never associated it with St. John, so this is a surprise to me. It makes me think of Cinjun Tate who was once married to Alyssa Milano.

What can I say? I like unusual names. :)

[turabiannights.livejournal.com]

And here I thought the name St. John died in the nineteenth century...

I like Linnea, but I could certainly pass on the rest.

I know a girl named Ziqyia which I suppose is kind of similar to Ziciah!

I don't like any of the boys' names!

[ellycopter.livejournal.com]

linnea reminds me of math graphs.

[iluvpomeranians.livejournal.com]

there was another good one there, but I can't remember, its been so long since I worked there. Those two are just forever stuck in my head.

[lostrocket.livejournal.com]

I have seen Cinjin before, but as Sinjin, and actually rather like it.

[lostrocket.livejournal.com]

Oh and I hadn't even noticed "Ziciah"

My guess is, creative version of "Zakia" ? Also sometimes "Zakiyah" I think. Which is a name, I believe with some sort of North African/Arab roots. I make that guess because we've used it as a name at the French camp I worked it, and as it's definitely not French it would probably be North African.

Zakia I like. Ziciah is stupid.
