Today I was browsing Facebook and noticed a friend commented on a status from a jewelry business requesting first names of children for an upcoming photo shoot. If the business chose the name for the jewelry, they would contact the person & send them the jewelry after. As expected, there were some...lovely names. All names directly copied & pasted, no editing, any commentary of mine italicized

I put some of the more "interesting" ones behind the cut. There were a lot of genuinely great names too, luckily.  One of my favorite sibsets I noticed: Lydia & Asher.

First & Middle I posted if they were posted, siblings also posted, even if their names weren't "interesting".


Amberlyn Renadawn & Crash
Emercyn
Lynzlee and Zaiden
Tai, Mikaela, Pryce, Annistyn
Lexxi Grace (I have noticed a trend of extra X's AND just Lexi/Lexie as a first name)
Rinzey
Adam Brodee (Hi Seth Cohen) & Hollis Machall (not sure if this is supposed to be Michelle)
Summer Baxlie
Chiara Gianna (assuming pronounced Kiara)
Tymber (a boy)
Kole Wilson (b) Kinlee Love (g)
Jane Wyatt
Rhire
DASHER PAUL(yes, after the reindeer) EMMAH LOUISE, BOSSTON NICHOLAS, and LUCY EDITH. (yes after the reindeer was actually posted by the mom. I like both girls names, I only wish Emmah had no H)
Seaborn O'Connor
Axyl (g)
Jaxen blade, randen pake, Brooklyn jade
Sylias
Tymberlyn Caylyn and Lynlee
Bayley, Andon, Brandon, and Azlynn
Faythlyn Nicole, Alyssa Jane, and Maison Lane
Maysn Alexander, Kadyn Alan
Canon, Cabot and Caedmon
Maverick and Jagger
Laymon and Tressa
Trysen
Hamilton, Harrison & Henderson


There were loads more, but at over 4,000 comments, I was loathe to read anymore.

randen pake might be the worst one, especially in combination with the siblings Jaxen blade and Brooklyn jade

most of these are head-hurtingly awful, but i feel i should point out that Chiara is the traditional Italian spelling of Kiara, Don't like the pairing of it with Gianna though. Harrison, Hamilton & Henderson may be the worst sibset to me, even though seperately i don't think they're bad names, all three together is just weird.

I thought it was a traditional spelling, I too just didn't like both names together. I like Jane, Adam & Summer, but I don't care for their middle names, so that's why they are there :)

A lot of these just sound awful and look like a jumble of letters.

[iftherainstops.livejournal.com]

maybe they couldn't pick a name so they ate some alphabet soup and saw what they could come up with?

[raze--the-rose.livejournal.com]

Randen and Rinzey strike me as the worst, but any time I see somebody use the letter Y to make their name seem unique I cringe.

Most should be considered as some form of child abuse, emotional maybe? Dasher, poor, poor, Dasher having to live with the knowledge that he is named for a reindeer!!!!!

[piperwest12.livejournal.com]

Can you post a link to those names? I want to save them for when I need a good laugh!

This work?

[ahavah]

My grandma was Emma Louise. I like it better without the H too.

This really makes me want to use Boggle to name my next kid.

AHHHHHHHH!!!1! WHY??? Why did I read that list? Now my head hurts and I'm cowering in the corner, whimpering.

Bosston? nickname...The Boss?

[solitudete.livejournal.com]

Well, there goes all hope for humanity.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

Probably. I bet the parents write on Facebook about every little thing he does, and then add "Like a boss." Just like his name. Har har.

[ringsandcoffee.livejournal.com]

Are these...actual names??? I can't, just can't...

[hermione-vader.livejournal.com]

Amberlyn, Tymberlyn, Lynlee, Emercyn, and Azlynn make me sad. I don't even know why. Just...ugh. Also, names like Jagger and Annistyn bug me---why are we giving our kids the last names of celebrities? Mick and Jennifer would work fine. I feel the same way about Hendrix, Cash, Presley, and Lennon.

I actually like Jane Wyatt (Wyatt could be a family name, after a grandfather or an uncle), Adam, Chiara and Gianna (but maybe not together), and Lucy Edith.

Hamilton, Harrison, & Henderson and Canon, Cabot, & Caedmon: WHY?
