Name I just saw on FB

"Jewely" - Julie being far too ordinary I suppose. 

Of all the name crimes, I think the hooked on phonics gone bad ones offend me the most.

Re: Name I just saw on FB

  • I'm so torn between real names spelled crazy and completely made up names.  Jewely is fairly horrifying--destined for the pole.

  • It's an adverb for something Jews do, i.e. "She talks Jewely."
  • Yeah, skip college Jewely. Just go ahead and get started on that pole/porn job application.

  • And PS it especially pisses me off because Julie and Julia are both lovely names. And not even particularly common these days.

  • I hope she has a bedazzler.  She's going to need one to live up to a name like that.

    lmao! 

    When I worked at KMart when I was 16 (shutup!) my supervisor was named Jewel. She was this 60+ year old woman with bleach blonde hair, a smoker's voice, and she wore dangly dice earrings on the regular.

    I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
  • I saw a "Jerzee" once.  Speshul.

    I've been saying it wrong.  I just say 'she talks Jewy'

  • We recently got a jury pool that included an Ahnjelah.  Hooked on phonics gone bad, indeed.
  • Why would you want people to have to read your kid's name no less than 3 times before they can figure out what it's actually supposed to be?

  • Are you sure it's real? I know several people who go by fakes names on FB.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman

    Are you referring to my Jerzee?  It was real.  There was an embroidered baby blanket and everything.

    Oh I don't know. But I bet you anything someone out there is really named that.

  • I've seen it before.  It's real.  And real sad.

  • Jewely is bad.  My niece's name is Aarieonna.  I love the kid, but ugh.  What a horrible spelling!

  • Hillsboro?  Well hello there new friend -- where did you come from?

    "That chick wins at Penises, for sure." -- Fenton
  • Possibly. 

    I really need to check "Medieval Childhood" out of the library again. My membory was it was a family in 13th century Wales that named all 8 of their sons John. It wasn't that they weren't surviving infancy.

    As always there's, Lettice, the good friend of Elizabeth I. 

    No naming conventions are ever going to seem youneek to me again.

  • At this point, I'm pretty sure my son "Matthew John" will have the most youneek name in his first grade class.

    And in 700 years people can try to puzzle out how "Matt-he-wah Joe-hin" might have been pronounced. 

    Cycles.

    Well if a name like Matthew John ever gets looped into a cycle with Jewely and Anhjelah, then that just means the journey to idiocracy is complete.
