Acquaintance just had a baby. Baby's name is "Selene" (at least, that's how it's pronounced), but spelled "Saline."

Oh geez. Did they not realize that everyone who's ever worked in a hospital is just going to think of bags of salt water? Not pretty.

There's a city near me called Saline and pronounced Suh leen.

I do feel very sorry for the kid, but OMG I cannot stop laughing! SALINE! HAHAHA! I think the entire English speaking world is gonna pronounce Saline properly instead of as "selene". OMG it's sad and funny at the same time.

I thought of saline solution for contact lenses, but yeah. Probably not what they were going for.
