Other comments:
-Attack of the trendy name: Madison.
-The spelling makes all the difference: Arianah (The added h really clears things up), Shelsea (Chelsea is so yesterday), Camaran (This spelling makes Cameron completely feminine now), and Griffyn (The y makes Griffin cool), Blaize (Because Blaze was not hip enough).
-Just skip the formal name, and go right into the nickname: Tessa, Allie, and Ty.
-Just plain "what were they thinking?!": Analhee Esmerlda, Pramiti Racherlia, JayLynn, Ipanys, Sahil Ram (This may be ethnic, but the parents are named James and Sara; but if they aren't within the ethnicity, and liked the name, more power to them, unless they just wanted their child to "be different"), and Talan Storm (A future action star!).
-What annoyed me the most: Joseph Peter "JP" - the parents even listed the child's nickname in the birth announcement! How absurd! The father is named Brian, so you can't say it's a nickname for a "junior." This totally makes my blood boil.
