S/O Baby Names

[divinemsbee]

I don't know who else reads STFU Parents, but I love it. She hasn't been on the blog as much, but she's still doing the Mommyish columns. I thought this would be a hilarious thing to share:
www.mommyish.com/2015/01/29/stfu-parents-baby-names-2015/

My personal favorites are twins Enjelickiagh and sister Rebekiagh and the fantastic Blayzin Keif.

Welcome to the annual Yoonique Baby Names Haters Ball. (If you are into yoonique names and easily butthurt, I recommend skipping this).

Yeah, my brain wants to pronounce this as "kegel".

Ask your doctor if Kexel is right for you.  Kexel may result in a sudden drop in blood pressure. Be sure to tell your doctor about any sudden decrease in appetite or urination while taking Kexel.

It took me a solid 5 minutes to figure out what the hell this name was.

Dorcas, at least, is a legit name (biblical, it's the Greek translation of Tabitha, meaning gazelle). It's pretty hideous looking and sounding, but at least it's an actual name and not a pile of letter vomit.

AdrenaLynn. I'm dying here...

I agree, but I would not want to be that poor girl in her school years...

[quietdownfish]

I can't even with yoonik names.

What would an employer say if you handed them a resume with the name Enjelickiagh on it? They would say nothing, just throw it in the shredder...

I honest to god know a woman named Dorcas. Pronounced der-KASS. It's a family name and she is of Asian decent.

[laurelita42]

I will always, forever and ever, be a backwards-name hater.

I also have two friends (married to other people, not each other) that have named children after different Game of Thrones characters.

What's that you hear? Yes, that's the sound of your future being sliced into irreparable bits. 

[abvintage]

Enjelickiagh & Rebekiagh. No matter how I try that is not the kuh sound that should be at the ends of these names. W.T.A.F?!?!

I have to wonder if some of those are pseudonyms for facebook, because otherwise kill me now.

And Dorcas also makes me think of "7 Brides for 7 Brothers" and I loved that movie! Wouldn't do that to a kid, but I loved the movie.

100% agree with this.  This whole article was full of awful.  I can't believe these are real people.

The key is to blur your eyes and just sound out the letters really fast.

I have an otherwise normal friend from high school who named her first daughter Emlyn.

My husband's response: "That's what happens when you feed it after midnight."

OMG you seriously just became my favorite 2015 Auguster. Quote me some 7 brides for 7 brothers and I'm just sitting here thinking of how hot Benjamin was.

[telos]

vtcnicely DH has a game night tonight, so I'm totally going to watch this with the kids now.

Unfortunately, we missed the boat on alphabetical bible names...

[notelsie]

I don't know if this has been mentioned somewhere else or not, and I'm not sure who stalks TB Aug15...

But someone was saying they wanted to name their daughter Ruby River.. Can you guess what comes to mind?

I'm married to a Benjamin and DS is Caleb.  Daniel would be next but that's my nephews name

[annabananabomb]

My sister's MIL suggested she call her baby "Jorgia"

[hurricaine]

I guess at least Enjelickiagh and Rebekiagh can easily changes their names to Angelica and Rebecca when they're old enough to realize that it's holding them back.

What do you do with Nevaeh?

It's kind of funny because sometimes I hear women complain that their husbands don't like any of the name options, and then when you ask what they don't like and they're like "oh Breillaigh" and you secretly think "thank God someone in that family has some sense."*

*A real conversation I had with a friend. I may have embellished the spelling of the name. It might have been Briella? I didn't ask.

I think I am just going to break out boggle and let it decide the name of this baby.

Boggle doesn't have apostrophes.  You're already ahead on the classy name game.
