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):

Wonder if he'll end up a prophet pie now that it's November?
Now that's what you call the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!
You always find the coolest Halloween stuff. I contemplated posting your butterfly costume picture. Maybe next year?
That is so cool! It just makes me smile.
