just curious...

what's the worst name you've ever come across? or the most unusual?

here are some of mine:

ocean - a kid i taught in swimming lessons (a girl)

willow - some kid who sends her santa claus letter into the paper every year,

b'elana - willow's even-more-badly-named sister. who would even consider apostrophes to be appropriate in names?

tyger - in the unusual, and not worst category. a kid i babysat, and hated his name until i met him and now i like it (but not enough to name my own kid that). and i think it's cuter than the tiger woods version with an "y" instead of an "i."

jago - friend of tyger's, strangely. and now that i think about it, it reminds me of "jaguar."

and some bad spelling ones...

gulia - pronounced "julia," but moronically spelled with a "g." another kid i taught in swimming lessons, who we all called "GOOLIA." like you would.

gared - brother of goolia, almost as bad, pronounced "jared" but spelled with that stupid "g" again. they G kids also had another sister named genevieve or something that actually worked with the "g."

okay, your turn now!

i love the name brooklyn. not spelled with the extra "ne," though. a girl on my f-list has a little girl named ciara, pronounced "keera," which is pretty but nobody will ever spell her name right.
