The Name Boards on AOL have suddenly been invaded by a bunch of newbies, most of which either claim to be pregnant with twin girls, or know absoulutly nothing about names. While I have to respect these newbies (many of which actually know that -son and mack- mean son of) the names the suggest can be absoulutly awful.

My favorite one has to be Kendalyn (“Its like Kendall, but its prettier!”) While this name is not entirely awful, they only get worse. Madison is a favorite, but all of them spell it differently, anything from Maddicynne or Mhattuhsuhn. One woman is planning on naming one of her twin girls Eabrazhun. Karsyn, Chandlyr, Parkyr, Kaidyn, and other “The Y makes it feminine!” suggestions are everywhere.

And then theres the (alleged) sightings. Someone said they met 3 sisters, Jelously, Signifigence, and Honestey. Theres the rumor of Chevodka, the man who was concieved while his mother was drunk on vodka in the back of a chevy. We see the lemonjello and orangejello post at least once a month. Someone said they knew twins named Hansel and Gretel.

In real life, the most atrocious name I have heard on a little girl is Maverick. What would posess any person to give such a masculine name to a little girl, I will never know.
