I say yur-EYE-ah. It reminds me of the word "urine" too. I don't think people mean that the actual name sounds just like the word urine, but it's similar so it reminds them of it (and probably would remind bullies of it, too :-/).

A lot of those I don't like, of course, but I like them great on other people.

Edit: I think the problem with Uriah is that it's pronounced "yoo-RIE-ah" but it turns very quickly into "yer-EYE-ah," which initially sounds like urine.

As to the Uriah question, I've always pronounced it like yoo-RIE-ah, because it seemed the most obvious to me, so no I don't think it sounds like urine :p
I like the name, I think it's nice :)

Uhh... not sure how I'd pronounce Uriah, but if you are gonna say yoo-REE-ah, I'd suggest you look up the definition of the word urea.
I rest my case.

I know it's pronounced "Yoo-Rye-Ah, but it still reminds me of urine. And probably many people would say it so it sounds like urea. How about Uriah Heep? lol

Brynnley Leighton: These WASP stings really hurt!

---

Dakota Adeline-Darryl: Where on earth does that Darryl come from?

---

Divine Melody: She can't carry a tune in a paper bag even if it had handles. And that Divine is so trashy.

---

Lavender: I love the smell of lavender and am fond of the color, but the name is just gross. What if she marries somebody named Brown, or Green? (Yes, JK Rowling beat me to it with her Lavender Brown character, but doesn't that combo just conjure up a very nasty color?)

---

Nevaeh Angel-Roberta: Should've just stuck with Roberta and left out all the heavenly baloney.

---

Randi Jo: "Hillbilly Honeys" night at the Lusty Kitty! She's a little confused cause Ma and Pa were really hopin for a boy.

---

Savannah Lily: This is very pretty. Although it does sound a bit like a garden plant.

---

Sunshine Nouchi: Sunshine is not going to age well at all, past the age of about two weeks. And what's that Nouchi? Looks a bit like nookey to me.

---

Veinna-Quynh Minh-Diem: Vietnam meets Austria, with awkward results.

---

Wynter Rose: Goth band.

---

Ares Dean: Dean's arse.

---

Elvis: A definite one-off kind of name. But I always did wonder, if Elvis has so many devoted and fanatical fans, and so many people named their daughters Lisa Marie after his was born in 1968, why you don't see more Elvises?

---

Harper Beigh: Because Harper Leigh was a bit too obvious. Oh, let's have a town named Harper, and let's have a local newspaper. The Harper Bee. And let's name our boy after the paper.

---

Marion Larry Harley: Serious redneck action here. Let me guess: Ma and Pa are Mary 'n Larry. And they love their Harley. It doesn't even sound good! Marion Larry? Like Marion Barry, aka Mayor Nose Candy?

---

Ocean Napoleon: Sounds like a tropical dessert.

---

Pepper Valentine: Pepper: unisex dog name. Valentine: girly, cutesy name. Pepper Valentine: snickers, taunts, moronic jokes and probably a prank involving some red-hot pepper-flavored candy.

---

Race Hiro: The hero of the race. The Aryan Brotherhood is anxious to hear from this family.

---

Range Caleb: It comes with a self-cleanign oven and a compimentary panini sandwich maker.

---

Talon Thomas: AKA Tom Toenail.

---

Aurea: Ever heard of staphyllococcus aureus? Ear infection. Aurea: the feminine of the infection?

Pepper Valentine cracked me up. It would be a great name for a character in a story. A sad guy who can never get a date. That poor baby.
