...My name is normal to read but obnoxious to pronounce. Adrian. Not "EIGH-dree-en", more like "ah-dree-AHN." It sounds vaguely French. or Arcadian. Which is odd, seeing as I happen to be Australian.

Arduin Linsang Spinel ...My name is normal to read but obnoxious to pronounce. Adrian. Not "EIGH-dree-en", more like "ah-dree-AHN." It sounds vaguely French . or Arcadian . Which is odd, seeing as I happen to be Australian. In X-SAMPA that's adZr\ian or adZrian instead of edZr\iEn. The IPA is your friend when attempting a standardized pronunciation. Unfortunately, not many people use it.

SpazLink -- For now, I think we should simply focus on the grammar. That seems to be a major issue for her.

D!no That's as bad as those 'tards who spell their children's names in "unique" ways. Rayvynn Meeshelle Kathyryn I think that they missed the memo stating that if your child has a "speshul" name, it's 100 times more likely to get beaten in the playground. >__< The book "Freakonomics" has a great chapter about baby naming. Apparently some woman in Vermont or wherever was stressing because her nephew had been baptised "Shithead." It's pronounced "Sha-teed." Teehee.

As far as creative typing, it can get really annoying. I know a group of kids at my school and they will type in all capital letters, but the letter "I" is always lowercase. i MEAN iF i TYPE LiKE THiS, HOW CAN i NOT LOOK COOL.
As far as names, I can't stand when parents add random letters to their child's name. Do they get in the delivery room and think " Gee, the name Jordan is really beautiful. Wouldn't it be just lovely if we add a n,u,y, and a q?" People always want to add an extra n in my name. My name is Jaylyn. Why put two n's when it says Jaylyn with one. People really like to spell my name with random vowels. I have had it spelt Jaylin, Joylyn,Jaylynn, Jaylen, and Jaylan. Jaylyn seems to be a difficult name for people. No one can pronounce it right because I am a girl. If I was a boy, they would pronouce it perfectly and not like it is spelled Jay Lyn. I believe there should be a law against naming children after nouns or adjectives. If you are going to name your child after a noun or adjective, you might as well call it H9TY-27R. I would die the day I find someone who's name is in leet like Kr15733n. My dream is to have a child named Steve, but spell it B-o-b just because of all these ridiculous spellings.

MY name is Brittany. Yes, my mom reached deep down into the bucket of slutty, common names and pulled up Brittany. My brother's name is Brandon. THEY MATCH. When I think of my name I want to vomit. Still, it's better than some crazy name spelled with several n's, e's, and y's.

Why can't you whitie fools steal some Sanskrit names? I'd so name my son "Viran" or "Vajran," or my daughter "Soma."
Of course, the only time I'd ever seriously think of having children is when my disdain for the human species becomes so great that I would show you the ABSURDLY MALICIOUS POWER OF MY UNTERVOLK GENES.

Squinchy Jofonda, Yalindo, Quincedondaloodle, LaQueesuh, and Tonie went to the corner store for some cotton candy. There were seven different flavors. How many cats will fit into a cone? Tat Ming. Do I need to say more? Anyway, my name is spelled differently. None of my teachers ever get it right. The Quiz Bowl coach spelled it wrong on my nametag, and couldn't understand why I was so upset. It's Sammi. Two Ms. One I. Is that SO HARD to remember? (Sorry about the rant. I have to go through it every year... It really gets annoying. *le sigh* Here's another mind-boggling name. Dad works at a hospital. There was a teenage mother who gave birth to twins named Ashanti and Ashantay. No joke. And yes. I hate "creative typing." (Where does that period go, anyway?) What I hate is when people capitalize Random words with No sort of signifance. At least, none that I can see.

I really don't get the obsession many African-Americans have with the Ashanti people. While they could be viewed as the black people who "stuck it to the man" for almost two hundred years ("man" loosely defined as the British), they were also partially responsible for the massive slave trade with which many African-Americans, even today, take issue.
I don't know, maybe I just don't like the name, but it seems that some people need to stop naming their children after the African tribes that sold them out.
