We haven't done one of these in awhile and I've seen a couple recently. Periods added for searching purposes.

First one I saw in a news article:

Kor.al Re.ef

The other I saw was:

Blue.sette

[mrsrek10]

I found out one today, coincidentally! It is Kaij... I will let you all guess what it says to see if you can get it. I had no idea when I first looked at it. lol

[paddyb]

junkytrunk, they didn't even spell coral correctly.

mrsrek10, I'm not sure what I am supposed to be guessing... how to say it or the next letters

Winner! You know your phonetic rules! ;-) I do too and it still took me hearing it, lol. I am a little slow sometimes. But yes, someone named their son CAGE but spelled it so lovely, Kaij.

smh

There is a woman in one of my mom groups that named her son Ant.knee. I'm not even joking. Wtaf?

[starfishy]

I saw one on a photographer site last week Bres.lyn. A little girl. Yuck

[jodielyn10]

A FB friend just had a daughter and named her Linley. That's not a name, that's a nickname. If you want to call her Linley, why not at least name her Lynn or Evelyn so she can have a real name when it's time to submit her resume for a job?

[jennmm]

Anna has a Cotton in her class but that doesn't seem so bad after seeing these.

[mommymadness]

B had a Linley in his gymnastics class and she was so cute that I didn't think her name was that bad!

DH's cousin had a baby a few months ago and named her Fiona...like Shrek!

[bantyrooster]

Dh's cousin named their new son k.oy (like the fish). Their daughter is G.entry and their other son is Bri.ggs. The first two are different but k.oy is a little weird even for them. And they are farmers.

At least Fiona is a real name!

I know someone who named their kid that too last year! Funny thing is, they are in love with Disney...and Shrek isn't Disney.

Fiona is a totally legit name, I don't see the problem unless they actually said they named her that because of the movie.

A college friend of mine named her baby Lait.yn. I can't even say it. Late-in. WTAF?? Come on people!!

Like... Layton? The boy's name? Is the baby a girl? Geez that's bad.

I've been screening applications this week and there are some atrocious names...

Okay, and I'll go to hell for this one. There's a local news story about a whole family that died from carbon monoxide poisoning. The dad was running an gas generator in the house because their power got cut off. It's really sad. But I read the article and I just couldn't ignore the names: Zychei.m, Tynijuiz.a, Tykir.a, Tybre.e, Tyani.a, Tybri.a. How do you even pronounce Tynijuiz/a? And Tybre/e and Tybri/a are basically the same name. It's a very sad story, but jeez, those names...

My new favorite:

Oh oh oh I love these threads!
What is it about gymnastics classes?! We have a Lak.er in our class, its a girl. Pronounced like the LA basketball team, but I don't know if thats why they chose it.

One of the kids we have storytime with has a baby sister! Everyone, meet Katniss. No, Katniss is not the family pet cat, and not the screename of someone playing an online game. Katniss is the baby sister (of Madelyn). Maddie & Kat. I die.

Wow.  Wait until her parents have to explain that one to her and no one has ever heard of these movies.

According to the name trends thing on babycenter (I think), Katniss has been on a sharp rise since 2011.  I don't know any other kids with this name but really?  REALLY?

I guess Bra.nch is becoming a thing for boys? I think that's a little weird. It's like a tree.
