Let's play terrible names...
..Graduation Edition. These gems are right from my brother's graduating class:
Bryttanee
Britne Anne
Britnee Michelle
Shelbiee Kayla
Karlton Dean
Adrijhana Michelle (Adrianna)
Alyx
Alix
Jourdan
Plinky Jane
Maxx
and my favorite... Lexxus Nicole
Yikes!
Re: Let's play terrible names...
I like Plinky.
I think I'll add that to my short list......
Oh and bonus - it reminds me of Plinko and I ? the Price is Right.
Ugh.
Changing the spelling of a name doesn't make you unique. It makes you an idiot.

Plinky??? Really??
Adrijhana is pretty horrific too..
I said the same thing about it makes the parents look stupid and will probably look bad for the kid once they try to get a job.
I think what gets me the most, is that the middle names are all normal and spelled correctly. Why oh why could they not get the first name thing down?
My first thoughts were Pinky & The Brain.
Dx: Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism After 2 years TTC & failed IUs,we have our IVF baby born 9/24/11
LO#2 aka 'Miracle Baby' Orig. EDD= 9/28 EDD moved to 10/3/13

Y'all know you like Lexxus. It's super klassy.
Ooooh! I'll play! There are notable names that have stuck in my head in this job and past ones.
Qiani (pronounced Key-anni) - apparently her mom forgot the whole qu rule
Shamelka (pronounced sham-elk-a)
Cristyle (pronounced crystal)
Angelenica (?????)
Ya, I'm all for unique names (clearly), but I totally agree with this, changing the spelling is just stupid and it makes me feel sorry for these kids.
My favorite terrible name is still Noname (No-naam-ee).
Awesome. SIL's graduation is tonight. I can't wait to see what names we have.
I graduated with a kid named Hung Lo. Doug still talks about how awesome it was hearing his name announced at graduation.
When I worked for my alma mater, this awesomely bad name came up:
Maverick Danger Cash
I swear I'm not making it up. Danger was his middle name
. I took him and his parents on a tour of campus, and afterwards they took me to lunch. The kid had slicked back hair, wore aviators and a leather jacket, and drove an IROC. He was so badasss, it still cracks me up.
I seriously just snorted my water...

Stand up for something you believe in.

Anyone been watching The Voice? There's a 16 year old girl on there named Xenia (pronounced Zen-ee-yah).
Also, a girl I went to college with named her son Rafferty CaptainAwesome Lastname.
I sh!t you not.
Lexxus reminds my of Dr. Lexus in 'Idiocracy'
I think this is my all-time favorite.
Plinky!!!
I love it! I'm totally naming my kid that.
