While trying to come up with baby names I started thinking about people I know. Not because I want to name LO after anyone.. actually quite the opposite. I won't have a problem in these cases.. I don't know what their parents were thinking!
M'kel and Makaya - Brother and sister... 6 years apart
Shanlysia and Natasia - Twins I went to HS with. Not 100% on the on spelling.
Charneil - Another I went to school with.
Bobbie-Sue - My friends little sister. This is her 1st name. She also has 2 middle but I'm forget sure what they are..
Excelia - Bobbie-Sue's Daughter. She goes by Xia a lot.
Dorkus - A lady who used to come into my work a lot. She had an unusual last name as well.
Robeana - I used to used to work with her. She actually goes by Bean..
Rico, Derico, Larico, Sharico... Who are all brothers/first cousins!
Comfort - He's related to the "..rico's" but I forget how exactly..
That's all I can think of for now. I know there are more.. lol
Re: Different / Strange (to me, anyway) names...
WOW. There are some doozies in there!
And even the classical/biblical name is spelled in a bizarre and wrong way! Dorkus? It's Dorcas!
Random, really?? No offense to your nephew, but that's so, um, random!
Yeahh... Well.. at least it's a conversation starter? And HOPEFULLY he won't know anyone else with the name. It's both random and unique! lol
I know a very sweet older woman named Dorcus, it is a real name.........I think the term DORK came many years after Dorcus.
I know a boy named Trout!
I have never heard this one before but I think I like it - I'm really into nature names though! I think I might add this to my list in case we have another boy. We are currently expecting a girl.
I grew up with a Bobbie Sue as well.
