I feel so bad for kids saddled with those names. No adult wants to be named Princess or Quongajay.

When I was substitute teaching I came across some interesting ones. also there were many awkwardly awful spellings for things like Bob just to be unique.
Btw I did only Highschool.

I dont mind ethnic names. But I draw the line and just throwing scrabble chips on the floor to see what it comes up with. I also can't stand creative spellings of names. I remember when I was subbing I called out a girls name(wish I could remember what it was) and she threw a fit and said "Everyone calls me that and its wrong." In my head I like "thats cause your ******* mother couldn't spell your name right, get used to it honey."
At one point, all names were made up... just saying...
true :)... but it just smacks of trying to be different at expense of the kid..Quote:

I used to work with someone who named his twins Luke and Leia and claimed he didn't even realize until someone pointed it out to him, yeah right :hmlol::shlol:Quote:

My favorites were the ones that were phonetic type spellings. Or portions of the name that were 'silent' for just he sake of having an unusually spelled name.
