doctoreess --- my hubby finally commented on my blog! Weeee!
I have a peeve about names and name spellings. I'm not the boss of anyone and their name rights, but I do have an opinion and am not afraid to use it ;)
I don't understand the fetish of spelling a name completely different or making up some bizarre one for that kid to "stand out."
How 'bout you teach Chris self-esteem, confidence, and the strength to "stand out" by being a great musician, artist, student, humanitarian, friend, hard worker, etc. instead of making Khrys have to spell/explain his name for everyone he comes in contact with for the REST OF HIS LIFE?
If you find your or your kids name(s) on this list don't get bent out of shape. Hopefully you are confident in yourself to realize that not everyone will agree with you in life and you decided when you picked the name (or chose not to legally change it as an adult) that it doesn't matter what people think because you like it.
Here we go (+ denotes siblings)...
Delaynee (Delaney is okay, delay-nee is not)

+
Tavia (labia or saliva)

If you're in the market for baby names (if you've already named your child this, it's all good; I'm talking about future born children here), DO NOT name your kid these overused names (including the different spelling variations):
