Baby Names - You're kidding Right???

[Ms_Cellany]

Back to the name I posted yesterday, Baleigh. I read that as Bali, like the Indonesian island.

I read it as Bailey.

March's baby names from my local hospital:


Cosette

Ryder is once again the most popular boy name here.  There were some lovely gems like Eleanor and Elias, I'd say only about 25% of them made me roll my eyes.

What's so bad with Cosette?  Aside from it being one of the main characters of Les Miz, it's been a name for a long time, just rather under-used.

She'll probably grow up to be some bourgeois two a penny thing

Breonia

Breonia

That name is bad enough (at least to me) and close enough to my own that I'm embarrassed by it's mere existence.

"The Irish name Breonia means is a form of Breona, which is a form of Briana, which means "strong, virtuous, and honorable." This is a feminine form of the name Brian." http://www.chacha.com/question/what-is-the-name-breonia-mean

And I'm sure a bunch of famous, historically significant, people have been named that. Still looks like something I would have planned to name my own country when I was seven.

Well!  (huff puff)  When I was seven I was going to have my own country too.  And I was going to be the Queen!  And my country's name was going to be Babalonianna!  My name's longer than your name.  So there!!

Well, mine was gonna have magic ponies and flatcats, so there! ;P

Okay, here's a question, has anyone here looked up their name and been surprised by what people had to say? I know I was shocked to think people feel my name is just a made-up version of a male name used by the unimaginative (not making this up). And this is one that's, while not common, generally a more classical name.

The Empress of Bethalonia has now declared war upon Babalonianna!

I'd rather have Heaven than Nevaeh. I mean what's heaven backwards? Hell?
