HAHAHA

I needed a good laugh this afternoon and I got an email from my friend Leah just in the nick of time.  She sent me the link to a blog post about America's baby names and how out of control they are.  You can check it out here.

My favorite highlights (with my two cents thrown in):

Blayde The extra Y in there makes it 10 percent sharper. And don't fuck with Blayde's brother, Nyfe.
this one is kind of cool

Draven Please note that if you name your baby Draven, you must dress him up like the Crow at all times.
I immediately thought this child would be a serial killer

Kierson Straight from the "Invented Irish name for Boston-area steakheads" file
So many Irish names, so little time

Zaiden Of course Zaiden is here. It takes Jayden and throws a Z in front, which makes it SO STRONG. God, I just wanna slap a loincloth on little Zaiden and club dragons with him. Be on the lookout for Drayden, Fayden, Waiden, Strayden, and Klayden coming to your hood.
My son actually goes to school with someone with this name


Brook'Lynn The abuse of apostrophes in names has to end. A reasonable person should be able to know, by looking at a name, when one syllable ends and another begins. But no, dumbfucks all over the country have to be like "I'll name him Raw'Bert." You stop that. Give me some credit for being able to read even if you can't.
My friend's daughter is named this.  Sorry Bryce! (thankfully, no apostrophe)

Sharpay This is a character from High School Musical. It's also a breed of dog. Why stop there? Name your child Dobyrman.
I'm ashamed to admit I knew who Sharpay was.


*Disclaimer:  I am 100% ok with making fun of baby names because my firstborn has one of the weirdest names I've ever heard.  Brier is not common.  I know this.  He will always have it misspelled and mistaken for the name Brian.  He will never find his name on a pen or a bicycle license plate.  

His name is special because it means "Heather" and we named him after my sister, who passed away while I was pregnant with him.  I couldn't go with Heath.  Heath Griffin sounds like a portly linebacker's name.  Ugh.
