Carmeltina
Indigo and Taz - devilish

*Sigh*

A strong case of Monday-itis is not helped along by the wit and charm of these yooneek names. *sigh*

Maybe it's the heat

We're currently experiencing a bit of a heat wave here in the land of Oz. Maybe the heat is responsible for affecting the brains of these parents.

Beatrix Juliet Elspeth, Algernon Oliver Hume and Octavius William Hamilton

And the spelling's taken a jump to the right for these kiddiewinks:

Jain
Lillyan
Kataraina
Matylda

Others have come over all geographical or botanical:

Acacia and Dakotah
Indyanna
Montana Diane-Joan
Roselle
Rayne

Must have slipped into another dimension when I wasn't paying attention

There's usually a good crop of names on Mondays, thanks to the weekend papers, but this lot seems to have a particularly high WTF? factor.

Girls vs boys?

Why is it that girls seem to bear the brunt of yooneek names? I don't mean that boys miss out, not at all, but the girls' names do seem to be more numerous. A quick sample from the weekend:

Boys
Jasper Beanie
Tallon
Zade
Bradeck
Izayah
Blaize
Sava
Dexter Brogden

Girls
Tanyka
Navina
Bibi
Marzieh
Diamanta
Trelise
Poppi
Ferny
Livinia Myrtle
Jorgia
Tayte Candra
Charli Love
Cherysse and Brie
Tianna and Shianne
Briese
Jenise
Joali and Sade
Karalyne
Gypsy Anne and Teejay

Mumbo jumbo

Random selection of crazy today:

Tavis
Djordja
Iluminada
Kristle (to rhyme with gristle?)
Sebastinana
this is actually a couple: Excelsa and Dominador

Criminal activity

Taken from a birth notice in today's paper: "[The X family is] pleased to announce the early and safe arrival of their wanted brother." He's only just been born and is already a felon? Or maybe it's to contrast with the unwanted brother...?

Speaking of things criminal, some names from today's notices:
Dominic Awesome
Clarice Clee
Chelcie Jorja
Bre
Romy Kennedy (this boy will suffer in the playground)

Fashion strikes again

We've had Versace and Dior, now here's a new friend for them. I'm waiting for Hilfiger and DKNY.

Armani Samael
Merinell
Sabian
Anjali and Teya
Briannon
H (yup, just H, apparently)
Zali Mataya and Tyla (her brother)
Miette (crumb in French)
Wren and Neo
Ignatius

The day wouldn't be complete without some fractured spelling:
Shinade
Aynslie
Ayva

I was wrong

Despite what I said recently, I knew there had to be some seasonally named tykes, even if they weren't immediately apparent. However, they are now starting to surface. Today we have two contenders: Noel, and Eve (born Dec 24). I expect to find a few more before too long.

Ringing in the New Year

Or possibly ringing in the ears, induced by the following:

Alanihei
Kendyl
Clenton
Eris
Pollyanna
Ottalie Ariadne Delphine
Honor Rasha Scarlet
Stase
Andrew-James
Addelie (as in penguin?)
Gabriel Ramone and Marymaeve
Macklen (surname Mackay)
Tesian
Winsom
Falicia
Rudyard
Tarraleah
Charbella
Zarlie
Caidence Makensie - *two* trendy poorly spelt names - what a bonanza!

Ho, ho, ho

Pleased to report a lack of seasonal names, though themes abound, as always:

Flora and Daisy
Flora and Lily
Flora and Rose
Violet and Iris
Holly and Molly
Michael and Mikayla (father Mick)
Eleonore and Eloise
Shiloh and Colt (gun fans, obviously)

And some geographical oddities:

Chile
Mauritia
Indiah
Keyewest
