A collection of actual posts from various baby forums asking about "unique" names and the catty commentary of the site owner. A little light reading for your Thursday workday.

I didn't have this much trouble naming my first three kids either~~they are: Michelle Kaye, Kathleen Cierra, and Abbey Julieanna. What do you think of Kaylyn Arriana? Also, do you like the spelling Kaylan or Kaylyn better?
Observe the evolution from sanity to madness. First the middle names are spelled funny, then are odd names spelled funny, then creeping into strangely spelled but normal first names, then all hell breaks loose.
great name... I love Quinlynn, have you thought about adding a sylabel to make pronuncian easier? I only say that because my name is Angelique Jacquelyn. I like Quinelyn or Quinylin or Quinalynn.
So really you're saying it to spread your misshappen evil around, making a confusing name surrealistically bizarre? Interesting.
Prayers. Before I found out I was going to have a boy, I only had girls names chosen. If I do have a girl in the future I am naming her Aria Ocean or Aria Leilani. I love original names! :-)
Behold, the latest fad in greeting people: stating a random noun. As in, "Fishsticks. My name's Aria Ocean and I'm a new-age CD compilation featuring 40 hits by your favorite artists. Like Enya..."
I originally planned on naming my boy Dakota Lee, but my nephew had a baby boy two years ago and named him that.. Now I can not find a boys name. I like Dakota... but have thought about Dacoda.. since I want to use the shortened form Cody...
Well then, go ahead. There's nothing like going through life with everyone thinking your parents are totally illiterate yuppies who think owning Dances with Wolves on DVD makes them in touch with Native Americans, until one day your kids snaps and runs over your latte drinkin' , People magazine readin' *** with your own SUV. Or you could just name him "Cody" like you want to and save yourself from having to explain to the school principal how Cody happened to obtain the .45 that was found in his backpack.
I've looked at all these comments about people who hate certain spellings, pronunciations, and strategic placings, and I just don't know what to think. When my wife and I had our first daughter, I was lucky enough to name her after a word I fell in love with from middle school. Terra was the word, but I chose not to go with the spelling, and "Tara" didn't appeal to me. I choose Taira, and my wife chose Rose for her middle name. "A flower of the earth."
"A flower of the earth." As opposed to those flowers that grow out in space. God, I hate Wiccans sometimes.
