Ewwww

At first I thought it was just my dodgy eyesight. But no, her name is definitely not Evie, it’s Ewie. I only know it’s a girl because her second name is Jasmine. Ewie. To be pronounced Evie with the Germanic “w” as “v”? I would hope so, because otherwise, ew.

The ongoing presence of Mikaylas and Makaylas has been distressing enough (for god’s sake it’s the female of Michael, it’s Michaela people! It’s not that hard), but they have been trumped by today’s Mickayla. I suppose it’s ready-made for that quintessentially Anglo-Australia contraction of “Mick”.

Jayden Jaymes, brother of Tayla. We could take guesses as to what Tayla’s middle name is – I’m going to venture that there’s an unnecessary “y” in there somewhere.
