jamaica mercedes? crazy/funny names...

when my oldest sister was in her teens, she swore up and down she was going to name her little girl "jamaica mercedes" one day, and thought it was so beautiful. she now has 4 LOs, none of which got that oh-so-beautiful name haha... 

just wondering, did anyone have names they were set on or dreaming about growing up that they can look back and laugh about now?  i can admit, i once saw then name "xebecca" when i was like 15 and thought it was the coolest name i'd ever seen haha... my taste in names has TOTALLY changed since then!

i always said when I was little that when I grew up I wanted boy/girl twins (I still do) and wanted to name them Andrew and Andrea. Not really bad names, but not what I would name them now. I also had a baby doll I named Denise, which was a name I LOVED at the time (you can thank the Cosby Show for that). I for sure don't like Denise now. Not nearly as crazy as Jamaica Mercedes though. haha.

i used to be into such trendy, wild spellings of names. i knew a girl named ashlei, and thought that spelling was just the coolest, but things like that get a total side-eye from me now. i also went through a phase where i loved boy names for girls. i think that had a lot to do with joey from dawson's creek! it's just funny to see how much people's taste in names changes over time

Misty was my favorite name forever.  Yeah... not going to go that route!

I wanted to name my girl either Juba Lee or Philomena Cabrina. I'm sure my sweet Camille is glad that I changed my mind.

When I was younger, I was going to name my child after whatever month they were born in.

I loved September and Raeanna for girls and they're really not my style at all anymore.

I loved:

Christina, Antonia, Nora, Mae, Lee, Elizabeth, Christian and Clair.

 I'm still in love with Elizabeth, Antonia and Mae. I don't hate the other ones.

When I was little I wanted a little girl named Darcy.  

My BIL once told us that if they had a boy they would name him Gnarly but now that they are pregnant they've told us that name is no longer a go

OMG! What's funny is that I am sure there is probably some poor kid out there with this name and spelling

In high school I was telling a classmate that I liked Bible names for boys.  She said, "Like what, Exodus?"

And I kind of liked it!  I never really considered it but I knew of a male and female Genesis and I figured it wasn't too far off.  Now, no way!  Oh, and btw, I meant the actual names in the Bible, like Seth, Isaac, Abraham etc.  

As a younger teen I liked you-neek spellings for girls.  It was always a fairly classic name but I would try to invent some spelling I'd never seen before.  Because, you know, it makes the child so you-neek and speshal.  Why be Caitlin when you can be Kaitlynne?  I know that's not as crazy as some of the awful things we see on here but it still makes me shake my head at my younger self.

Great minds! When I was a little girl I wanted twins too. Boy and girl, named Taylor and Tyler.
