HelpRe: "Baby of the Year" Unusual names
in reply to a message by insane romantic
WARNING: Siân's harsh judgements follow below.
Girls
Kaizer -File Under: Prince, King, Duke, Earl, and other things not to name a daughter.
Chemley -One chemist or MCR fan should have let drugs wear off before naming child.
Z'phia -I honestly made myself laugh till I couldn't breathe coming up with things to put here.
Saphire-Jewel -Sapphire Jewel won't make her seem like enough of a stripper, we should also misspell it so she'll look uneducated.
Wynter-Rose -Winter Rose wasn't cheesy enough.
Rosienna -Renesmee's sister.
Tilisa -Should we name her Tilly? Should we name her Lisa? No, we should name her some bastardized, contrived version of both.
Elbie -Like a baby Elbow. Like an Idris Elba fan still tripping from the labour medication.
Tyga-Mae -Tyga-Mae not. Tyga's a wild animal and therefore unpredictable.
Latia -I can't believe this ridiculous name looks good next to its predecessors.
Kayleigh-Paityn -Because Kayley Payton looks like we are nowhere near tryndee enough. Add more rhinestones.
Sybella -These people lucked into this Late Roman/Greek variant, didn't they? Judging by this list, there is no way anyone on this list has enough brain cells/culture to actually know this is a real name.
Boys
Kaileb-Dre -Look, they are no better at naming the boys. I heard Caleb used to be a thing.
Layden -At this this has the semblance of being close to a real name.
Maison -French for house. Not cool. (Sorry, Misha Collins.)
Rohan -Fine if they are Indian. Heck, I'll even let it slide if they are big Tolkien fans. It's better than using Aragorn or Faramir.
Aksel -WTF an ACTUAL name?! With an ACTUAL acceptable spelling?! What is this madness?
Corbanie-Jay -How am I even supposed to say that? Let's call him CJ. And I hate initial names.
McKenly -At least spell McKinley right, sheesh. Mc-names as given names suck 99.7% of the time. This is not an exception.
Caleb-Lestat -These people can spell Caleb correctly and they've read a book? Wait, no, they probably watched a movie.
Emre -WHOA. I like Emre. What?
Gabriel-Gospel -We just couldn't let Gabriel stand there and look educated and sane, now could we?
Maximus -a la gluteus maximus? Or more the "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?" variety?
Zakkiyo -Google was supposed to tell me this was a legitimate name of some ethnicity I was less familiar with, but instead, it told me these parents are full of crap.

I'm guessing Tilisa is a variant of Tulisa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulisa_(singer)
I see no reason to assume that Sybella's parents (along with Rohan's, Aksel's and Emre's parents) don't realise they are real names. If they are from another culture then that would explain why they've chosen those names. I think there is a footballer named Emre something too.
I agree some of the names are terrible - Kaileb-Dre particularly stood out for me. Corbanie-Jay is interesting too. Tyga-Mae is kind of cute in a very GP way.
