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):

Madison
Kate
Jane
Ava
Connor
Joshua
Isabelle/Isabella/Bella

Oprah
Charlton

Wow!
I clicked on the link, and found a wonderful, though provoking read. Powerful stuff.
And then I said to myself "Self, I wonder why she had the link there . . ." Poof! The light bulb (aparantly a dim one) went off - that beautiful creature in your post was the author!
Definitely not ugly.
Glad to provide a light bulb moment ;o) Thanks for your lovely comments!
gorgeous green eyes, beautiful smile. absolutely incredible personality & spirit!! :)
Thanks, Jillian (I agree)!
Incredibly beautiful eyes, lush shiney hair, beautiful smile, creamy skin, and having read many of her posts, an amazing person.
I refused to watch "Ugly Betty" from the very beginning for two reasons. I cannot remember when I didn't believe I was just one degree away from ugly. That is what I told people. The truth had no degree in it. The second reason some of you may know.
I have learned that how I see myself in the mirror is greatly determined by how I am feeling about myself.
PS-Lucky, please comment on my last post.
The physical attributes y'all point out are 100% b. I did NO retouching to alter her appearance.
I've never watched Ugly Betty either. I think it might be because of LuckyzMom's 2nd reason for not watching.
Thank you...Lucky played a huge roll in a big realization for me. Thanks for being part of my redefining.
b. stands for beautiful. She's one of my faves. And when I first saw your photos of her I cried, really.
Miss you.
Hear, hear! THAT girl is exqusite.
b. becomes even prettier as you get to know her more.
Excellent post Shannnon. I really like the photos too. Thanks for sharing this valuable lesson.
