baby names...
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)
Tennley (Ninely and Elevenly)
Brinlie (Brinley, not Brin-LIE)
Kazdan (is this a place in Africa?)
Tomis (Thomas, I'd be fine with Tomas, but MIS)
Chrizelle (gazelle or chorizo)
Pyper (hyper)
Torsten (Torque or some Greek god)
Kassidi (how 'bout Kacity, ppbtsst)
Lessa (pronounced Lisa, looks like Less-uh)
Madyson (cut it with the Y already)
Zada (Zay-duh, Zawe-duh, Zah-duh)
Kloey (Chloe?)
Gracia (Garcia)
Ryleigh (how 'bout Rye Lee, zoinks)
Matisyn (syn/sin)
Blayden (sounds like the Priest from Princess Bride (mawidge) is trying to pronounce a word, but I cannot tell what it is)
Artemis (Greek god or skin rash)
Shithad (shi-thad is how it's pronounced)
Tiara (Fedora or headband)
+
Tavia (labia or saliva)
+
Trinity (the Godhead)
Baelyn (I don't get it)
Chryssy
Shydi (shy-dee)
Brick
Renesmee ;)
Mattelyn (Mattel toys, matte printing)
Brayson (a horse sneezing)
Palabra (abracadabra, Carrabba)
Jaklyn
Hannan (boy)
Jakery (or Jakerie, not sure, but it's a boy)
Cason (boy; like Jason or Cassie, I don't know?)
Kasen (sausage casing)
Bayron (bye-run, not BAY-run like it's spelled)
Alivia (saliva, Olivia, alive-e-uh)
Shandell
Tristan (too 'Legends of the Fall')
Kaydence
Kelton (kelp, Plankton)
Kennedie (ken-eh-DIE?)
Kenidee (just spell it Kennedy already)
Bleigan (blee-gan, girl)
+
Jakery (dakery dock)
BreeAwnna
Laekynn
+
Kiger
+
Breeze
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):
(How do people NOT know these are popular?)
Sophie
Jaden
Addison
Ella
Madison
Kate
Jane
Ava
Connor
Joshua
Isabelle/Isabella/Bella
Emma
Isaac
Olivia
Jacob
Zachary
Kaitlyn
Noah
Emily

Scarlett
Portia
Wade
Lucas
Asher
Finley
Jon
Vivian
Sofia (if you're stuck on Sophie, I like the European spelling)
Davis
Miller (what's with me and last names as first names?)
Some names that should be off-the-market (like retiring a sports jersey number), for obvious reasons...
Jesus
Oprah
Charlton
Whoopi
America
Cher
Madonna
Angelina
LaFawnda
Denzel
Giselle
Crispin
Goldie

I LOVE THEM.
What great pictures of the fam! Cathy looks gorgeous, the kids so cute and handsome, what a gene pool!
Commenting from my seester's house in the OC---What a BEAUTIFUL family! WOW's all the way around!
Cathy always has been beautiful, but she is radiant in these. AND here daughter is a look alike!!!
I can't believe how big baby Nora is already......
Wonderful.......
Those are so beautiful! I love Cathy. Please tell her hi for me and how I wish she would start blogging so I could tell her hi myself.
Please also tell her I think she's beautiful and so is her sweet family.
I was glad to see pics of her baby, too.
p.s. did I tell you yet I think you are a damn fine photographer? oops, I think I swore there, but it's been one of those days and darn just wasn't cutting it.
AHHHHH! i love you, shannon. you could make anyone look good. it was fun to do and well worth the wait! and to those of you that have commented...thanks, you are too kind.

thanks again.
These are great Shannon! What a fun location and such cute kids. You captured their personalities wonderfully and the family shots are beautiful.
Shannon, you are getting better every time you post :) I love these family shots especially the ones with the mountain in the background. Keep up the good work.
Smitten! Oh, oh, so pretty!
One of these fine days, when I've had all the sleep I need, plus a decent haircut, maybe I'll call upon your services for our fam.
(cw: As one who appears to be ardently committed to well-applied damns, I hope that helped you.)
Love those mountain shots and you did a great job capturing those sweet little kids!!
Lovely!! They look fantastic!
Cathy's hot. I love these photos.
Love your pictures! I linked you from Rebecca's blog.
WOW! What do you charge for family photo's?
