I was playing who wants to be a millionaire (phone app) and the question was “which of these celebrities is this their actual real first name?” The answer was Ke$ha (which I had eliminated due to it having a fucking dollar sign in it).
Saw a social media post asking for when parents were seeing their kids coloring inside the lines. Here's every name mentioned in chronological order of post: Brock Khloe Jurnie Kenleigh Carter Coralie Wren Lilly Aubrey Kate Ryan Kenley Adam & Ricky (old man making fun of adult sons) Thea Aubree
I also think there’s a usage factor at play here in that parents who name their kids weird names call them by their names at a much higher frequency than more common names kids. Those were the only names I heard today and they were all unusual.
Every single one of those moms has had multiple pumpkin spice lattes and at least one fall family photo shoot in the past month.
I was trying to think of a worse spelling they could have gone with, but I'm pretty sure they nailed it for worst possible. I've seen quite a few Kelce name announcements recently so I would expect that trend to continue. Just got invited to a birthday party for a girl named Melroze, which shockingly is the first time I've seen someone go that route with a name.
I have 2 students (both female) that have weird names imo. One is "Oakleigh" and one is "Tinsleigh". Saying the latter causes me actual physical pain
Girl on my son’s soccer team last year was named Oaklynn. Oakleigh is definitely worse though. And Tinsleigh makes me mad
Think I might use this for a future daughter, might need to modify it though, I think I like Easileigh better…
