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?)

Pyper (hyper)
Torsten (Torque or some Greek god)
Kassidi (how 'bout Kacity, ppbtsst)

Madyson (cut it with the Y already)
Zada (Zay-duh, Zawe-duh, Zah-duh)
Kloey (Chloe?)
Gracia (Garcia)
Ryleigh (how 'bout Rye Lee, zoinks)

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)

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):

Because they can!)
Because the mother does not have an education.
(Autodidacts may excuse themselves from my generalization.)
Because they REALLY want to make sure she knows how to spell her name. . .she's going to have to spell it out. . .every. . .day. . .of. .her. .life.
ya know, it's only a matter of time before someone starts spelling names using IM shortcuts or text messaging.
I don't even know how to pronounce that.
OK that one is bad, but did I ever tell you what my brother named his kid? Tuff.
Yeah T.U.F.F tuff.
The poor kid is going to get beat up every day at school
If we ever have a son, I'm stealing Tuff. Or maybe I'll just change my own name.
My husband's niece was telling me about a family she knows who loves (and I mean LOVES) all things cowboy. They named one of their sons Brody O and their daughter Justa Cowgirl. (She couldn't remember the other boy's name, but it's as bad as the other two.) Awful. Just awful. If someone is going to use a "trendy" name, they should at least spell it normally--for the child's sake.
When Phil and I were first married, a couple in our ward got up to bless their newborn son. They named him Tiko (pronounced 'tee-koh') Scott. Before the prayer had even ended, I leaned over to Phil and poked him in the ribs a couple of times, whispering "tee-koh, tee-koh." Poor kid. He hadn't even been blessed yet and I was making fun of his name.
