I work at a place where I come in contact with a lot of names. While working I have come across several "creative" names. Now I'm all for finding that unique name for your special baby but come on. Please remember that names are carried into adulthood and other people have to use them. After I have come across dozens of Brittanys that end in an "i", I have decided to start a list of some of the names I have been subjected to write and spellcheck for various projects. I know some of you out there might like your names and it is good that you have such high self esteem but it still doesn't change the fact that your parents are idiots. Your parents and others who thought they be cute or just like the way the name sounded. Yep, this is who this blog is dedicated to - all the people who are ruining the English language. I need to send a special shout out to Tabby and Heather who really got this ball rolling. Thanks, girlz!!
Karsyn - Yeah I know that this one isn't too bad but still the name should be Carson.
La-a - See when I saw this one I thought maybe this child's parent is a music teacher, but I was sadly mistaken, this name, my dear readers, isn't a note to follow so but is pronounced (La dash a). I grieve for this child and wonder what her scores in English will be when they cover how to use punctuation.
More names to com…
so tell me what you think. We are naming the new baby Dane but I am not sure if we should spell it Dhane, Dahne, Or the Original Dane????? After writting it I think I just answered my own question, because I dont want to end up on your bad name list. However this is a very Irish name so you should be proud :)
