Wow... Awful Name!

This morning I was browsing a site where my friends baby has her picture up for winning a contest and I ran across another little girl there with an interesting and in my opinion unflattering name.... the babies name was Scerean.

What in the heck!?! any opinions? know anyone named this? Why would you name your child this... am I pronouncing it wrong?

I dunno; how are you pronouncing it?

Scerean isn't exactly my style, it makes me think of Cesarian, as in C-section, but names are cultural, right? It may not be a typical American name, but it doesn't mean it's automatically unflattering - for all I know, it could mean beatiful, or saintly, or dog's arse in another language.

In spite of my usual tolerance for any name, I have no tolerance for kree8ive and youneek names where a traditional name is mispelled, or where someone names hir kid after a commercial product or some such.
