Per this thread, we're hoping to condense a lot of the "gawker" threads into one! We thought this would make them more fun to browse and the board an easier read. We'll start a new thread every morning to keep the list fresh.
Anyone is welcome to add to the post--local hospital names, the awful name you over heard at the park, Facebook horrors, and anything else that might give us a good chuckle! Feel free to comment, too.
Re: Post your facebook, hospital & other name horrors here

WTF!
Aubriuna, Aedyn, Shianne, Baylen, Brynnleigh, Kamdyn, Xalen, Kayne, Annagail, Braidyn, and oh yes Chayden.

Friend from HS, twins last night
Addysyn Shaylon and Allon Carsyn (Addison and Allen)
I didnt even notice they had reverse endings until my hubby pointed it out. I was so thrown off by the names...
I went to HS with a Wynn Nguyen! (A girl). They changed the spelling of her first name when they came to the states from Nguyen.
Mine are Emyrson (yes, I know an Emyrson IRL). Girl, obviously. And Xzavian. Ex-zavian.
Umm both boys? or boy and girl? Just curious. Not that it makes them any better, just the Addysyn Shaylon and the Carsyn have me thrown for a loop!
Cutesy twin names have come a long way since Dear Abby/Ann Lander's parents named them Esther Pauline and Pauline Esther, huh?
This could be the start of another interesting day lol.
From my brief employment with children services: Abcd. Pronounced AbSidDee and D'licious. When asked how that her child got the name D'licious by the magistrate mom smiled and said "her daddy named her". Baby daddy was no where to be found.
I was watching a clip show from a talk show and there was a guest named Collia (pronounced Kaya)...ummm?
Face-palm
