Baby Names

Interesting Names in Church

I helped out my MIL with her kids church service today. I put names on name tags. I asked the first little girl her name and she said it was Jensen. I asked, "J-E-N-S-E-N?" She said, no. Her name was spelled with a Y! Jensyn! Ugh, it figures. So, the last row of kids were Jensyn, Jadyn and Jasmyne. Others were Breanna, Kyron (boy), Kimora (girl, sibling to Kyron), Kyle, Grayden (boy), Ella (lucky), Joey (boy), Anna (my DD), and Savannah. Those are all I remember. An interesting bunch for sure.

    And she'll get this her whole life. thanks mom.

  • I hate how parents are trying to be "youneek" with the way they spell their child's name.

    It's not very unique and it annoys me sometimes.

    I was joking with DH and said if we have a boy we should spell his name : Willyam Jaemes (William James). Or for a girl, Annuh (Anna).

    WTH is wrong with people??  What is with this awful "y" trend?!?  Yuck, yuck, yuck.

    I know!!! I was thinking the same thing! Do parents choose names based on whether or not they could put a Y in it??? Ugh, people. I actually expected Breanna's name to be Bryanna based on the theme. :/

    My H and I both work in fields where we see a lot of awful names. I'm keeping a mental list of bad names and spellings for when I get pregnant and people ask us our names. I think it will be a true sign of friendship if someone tells me spelling my kid's name Molleigh or Alyx is a bad idea.

  • When I first read the name, I immediately thought of "Ginseng."

  • Why do people add Y's where they are not supposed to be. I like Jensen way better than Jensyn.

  • There's a whole generation of kids that will be hard to take seriously as an adult with these silly names.

  • This little boy named Kyron, did he have glasses?  Is he 8-9 yrs old?  I ask because the only time I've ever seen that (awful) name before is on a little boy who was kidnapped here last summer and is still missing.
