The Siblings are Suffering

Clearly they were all waiting for me to return properly, because after a dearth of horrid names in recent days, today’s notices brought an avalanche of cruel spellings and monikers.

Poor Ryley. I don’t actually hate the name Riley, although it’s becoming ubiquitous, but to throw an extra “y” in there just seems useless. Especially when, as in this case, the baby is a boy. Yes Ryley Paul.

Speaking of Rileys, there’s also young Montana Riley. Sure, sure all the Montanas and Dakotas are old bad baby naming news. The more amusing part of this Montana’s tale is the name of her big sister. Janaya.

Then there’s little Bailee Drew. Remarkably, she’s a girl. She also has a sister named Malone. Was someone a big fan of Ted Danson?

Finally the charmingly named Lilly Cassandra. Perfectly pleasant. Brother Hayden didn’t do too badly either. Sister Mekayla suffers greatly by comparison. But not nearly so badly as final sister Khyra. Suddenly the “y” in Lilly doesn’t seem so innocuous.
