Foreign Names

Okay, I have already had one friend come by and say that they can't contribute because their parents gave their siblings unusually foreign names. I almost added to my first post that foreign names don't count especially since I had considered that if I ever have a second daughter I would name her Seraphina after my great, great grandmother. To me foreign names mean that that name  has a meaning to a person or it's family name. At least the parents did a little research or looked up baby names on a website. So rest assured if your parents named you after a Greek river nymph, I'm not talking about you. This isn't the site about unusually names. No, this is just a site for me to rant about names that some people give their children where it is a) not a name at all or b) where names have letters replaced. It's just that it is no wonder America's academic stats keep falling with names like some of the ones I have encountered, it's lucky that American youths can spell at all.

Three names I came across after lunch

Catrina - Well after the hurricane I guess I wouldn't want to go by Katrina either.

Ebone - I guess the parents are trying to make it seem like Ebony but to me it sounds like an electronic steak.

Mirraca - I don't think this is a foreign name. I couldn't find it anywhere so if anyone out there knows if Mirraca is actually a name that means something or is gibberish, let me know.

Amanda sent me another name this afternoon - Wayvone - pronounced WAVE ON. Sounds like girl from seventies song.
