IL Names
Subbed on Wednesday for 14-18 year olds and took note of some of the more unusual names/spellings I came across. I sub quite a bit so these caught my eye as being unusual for my area (northern IL)... some of them I've never actually heard before!BoyEzequiel - never seen this spelling here before
Regino (http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/regino - listed a girls name, but this Regino is a boy. I'm thinking they meant it as a masculine version of Regina maybe?)
Dante
Zion
Rocky
Davion (http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/davion)
Denzel
Jontay (not on BTN, maybe an elaboration of John or a combo name of some sort)
Israel
Ronnie
Alijah (http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/alijah - I wanted to say this as ah-lee-ah, but it's Elijah! haha)GirlAnjulisa (not on BTN, maybe a combo name of some kinda, like Ann + Julisa?)
Janesa (http://www.behindthename.com/name/janessa)
Alondra
Kareise (not on BTN, maybe a variant of Carise?)
Julionnya (variant of Julianna most likely)
Angelique
Jasmil (not on BTN, not sure, Eastern European ln though so maybe from that area?)
Lexly (not on BTN, maybe an elaboration of Lexy?)
Treshonda (not on BTN, maybe a combo of Trisha and Ronda or maybe just Tre + Shonda, who knows)
Yesenia
Breyanna (variant of Briana)
Maisha (http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/maisha - though she had a Russian last name, which made me wonder if it's a variant spelling of Masha in her case)
My PNL = http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/37275Top: Henry & Eloise (main) / Caspian & Briar (GP) / August & Georgiana (top25)
Bottom: Randall & Eveny (main) / Dinadan & Melpomene (GP) / Owain & Deva (top25)

Loving:Ezequiel (this spelling has won me over -- the Ezekiel form never has), Israel, and Yesenia. Those are some, uh, creative parents. :0)
