mndynitetragdy - The short answer is that "La-a" is an old urban legend.  And it's almost always third hand information from someone's cousin's roommate's sister in law who teaches at _______ school (or works at _______ hospital).  It's the "Orangejello and Lemonjello" or "Nosmoking" of the new generation.

I love Llewelyn. I have known a couple men with that first name. I would use it if I didn't think people would mispronounce all he time.

I know a girl named Brandon. Nothing like knowing your parents really wanted a boy.

It's kind of common now, but I know a couple people with girl's named Naveah.  I cringe everytime I see it.  I have a friend with boys named Hudson and Brooks.  While not bad names individually, together it sounds like they should be vacationing in Martha's Vineyard in seersucker suits.  Blech.

Haha. My moms bf is Richard Johnson. I snickered when I first heard that since I'm immature. She didn't get it and someone had to explain. ETA: spelling

This is one of our best friend's names too!  Adding to that, his middle name is Peter.  I am immature and snickered as well.

A friend's husbands name is Michael, their first son is Michael Jr., and their second son is Marco. I forget their middle names, but Marco has the same, but basically the Italian version. I think it is just so conceited.

--Marco is actually the Italian form of Mark.

I have a friend that named her son Rye and her daughter Lux. I also saw on fb a new baby boy named Crew. All a bit different to me but I'm a traditional names kinda girl.

I went to high school with a boy named Just-In (yes, with the hyphen but pronounced like the ordinary Justin) and the middle name of Love.

Just-In Love.

ETA: Just Googled him with his last name to make sure memory served correctly, and it was actually Just-In'Love, according to some articles on him.

Apparently he did very well as a college basketball player and did a tour in Iraq. So it didn't mess him up TOO badly.

i work with someone whose child i kyngston. not sure why they felt the need for the "y". Another is Akaycia. I used to volunteer with head start kids and we had 2 kids named Donquavious (i may have spelled that wrong) and a child named B'nard.

I know someone who named their child Pepper. It's growing on me but definitely the strangest one I've seen in a while!

I have a facebook friend who is naming their daughter (due 12/25)  Penelope and they are going to call her Pepper as well.

The mom is pregnant with a girl, and they are naming her Oakley. According to my sister it's because it is close to Loki.

I honest to God am not making this up.

I know someone who has a daughter named Oakley and another friend who has a baby girl named Brinley.

TBH, there are so many odd names now a days, that these two don't bother me at all. Maybe I'm just used to them.
