gross.

I really despise "unique" spellings.

[mini-vulpini.livejournal.com]

This. To me they look more "uneducated" than "creative". And I'm sure it's going to get old really fast for those kids who constantly will have to spell out/correct what would otherwise be common names.

[maddiec24.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Because you know that's going to be a problem.

At least Lancelot and Pandora are spelt correctly, but they are both an awful lot to saddle a kid with. All the others here are terrible - why can't people just spell names correctly?

[mini-vulpini.livejournal.com]

Abeysamul and Pandora just sound like the kid was unwanted.

At least Lancelot is something I could actually see from parents who are really big into the whole King Arthur story.
But everything else.....no.....just no.

I'm kind of on board with Lancelot and Pandora.

[mini-vulpini.livejournal.com]

Really? The story of Pandora would turn me off from naming a child that, even though the name itself if pretty and easy to spell/pronounce.

I like the story and the mythology around it. I probably wouldn't use Pandora myself (just because of the negative association), but I have Hope on my list, for no other reason than it was all that was left in Pandora's jar.

All of these names are abysmal except for Lancelot and Pandora. Plus, I'm sure poor Abeysamul will be call Abysmal as soon as the other kids in his grade at school are old enough to know what abysmal means. Also, probably most of his life. I can only hope it is an ethnic name.

Majora just makes me wonder if the parents are Legend of Zelda fans.

I can roll with Lancelot because I really like the name Lance and that would be a cool nn. And some people are really clamoring against Pandora, but I don't see a major problem with it, especially since people are using Eve again and their stories are rather similar.

I like the name Zaleigh and for a long time thought I would name a daughter that, however the over abundance of names beginning with Z and ending with the lee sound have rid me of the Zaleigh love. By the way I would have spelled it Zaeleigh.

i kinda of like Zaleigh; like ZAY-Lee?

Alycesaundra -- I keep seeing "SAUCE" when I read this, I don't know why LOL

They are all gross.
