Baby Names - You're kidding Right???

[hobish]

A woman I used to work with just named her baby Adorabella.

I had to come here immediately to share.

I know i am very late here; but that is really awful. I can rationalize away just about any weird name you can think of, but that one? Oh, i really really don't like it.

How about Ce'Qryt?
I'm guessing it's pronounced "secret", but that is crazy spelling.

Evan seems to be another boy name that is slowly transitioning to girls. 

There's Evan Rachel Wood, the actress.  One of the DJs on a local radio station here also has a daughter named Evan. 

I kinda like it for a girl now.

I guess, but for some reason I keep reading it as Q-Bert.

I'm currently temping at a financial consultants office and I've seen some doozies on the tax returns. My personal favourites was a girl called Soultana.

And then there was that guy called Anne (I doubled checked thinking it was a typo, but nope, his name is Anne.)

Male to female s*e*x change?  I had a cousin who worked at a clinic in Kentucky I think it was which was well known for doing male to female operations and apparently they are encouraged to call themselves by their new name all the time. She said it was a huge surprise to her the first time she answered the phone and a deep voice asked for Dr so and so and said it was "Betty about her appointment".

I just ran across Anne as a male name in 16th C. France.  Given that Frozen LuluPop is in Canada (IIRC), it could be a French-Canadian name.   

From what I remember of that package (baring in mind I've seen about 500 tax returns in the past 3 days), I think the French-Canadian heritage sounds possible.


And now for something completely different...how would you pronounce the name Sjoukje? Saw this one today and no one was really sure how to say it. We ranged from Sooka, Sookie, Sook-ya...

Anne is a Frisian male name. It's not exactly common but not unheard of either.

Sjoukje is also a Frisian name. I have no idea if I can type out how it should be pronounced. The -sj- sounds like -sh-, the -ou- is pronounced the same as -aw- (exclamation of pain). The name has two syllables SJOU and KJE. I think SHAW-kjuh comes pretty close.

There was a female client where I used to work whose first name was Waverly. As far as I know it is a legit girl's name, though not overly common.

One of the daughters in The Joy Luck Club was named Waverly.

Came across an aspiring model named Willoughby Glen. To me it sounds like a subdivision name.
