Other comments:
Attack of the unisex, trendy name, with different spellings: Skylar (girl) and Skyler (boy).
Attack of the male name for a female: Devon, Payton, Morgan (twice!), Emile, and Logan.
Trendy, trendy, trendy: Kaylee, Madelyn, Emma, Madison, Kyler, and Mason.
Again with those blasted nicknames: Ray and Jake.
Just plain "what were they thinking?!": Ysebela (this could be ethnic, but the parents are named Thomas and Gertrude), Ivania, Rommelia, Ysia Alyana, Aliyssa, Darah, Tais, Anh Hong (but this is ethnic), and Aislyn Gray.
