Did these relationships end well? Even if they did, that is fucking weird...

Her SO didn't object? Man, I would have gone through the roof if my SO wanted to name our child after his exes. WE would be exes after that!

Shanea =/= Shane-uh. It looks like Shuh-KNEE-uh.

Tarjah and Azaria are also too trendy and look made up to me.

I have an older cousin (she's got to be 60 or thereabouts) whose first name is the name of one of her father's former girlfriends. It's not a new thing, and apparently where I live, it wasn't all that uncommon once upon a time.

Still odd as hell, though (if my uncle was still living, I'd ask him what my aunt thought of that).

Ugh. My MIL did this for all her son's middle names. She told me she did it so she could always remember a time when she was "young and desirable." Did I mention she is a complete narcissist? I think it is a weird, creepy thing to name kids after, and I find it really disturbing that I've now heard of multiple people doing it! :(

Thank you. I didn't know that. Since it is a legitimate name, I retract my criticism.

I like the name Elliott for a boy, but could never use it because that's my ex's name. Like, I'd never even consider it!

Shanea looks like Shuh-naye to me.
