HelpDon't know about that... there's no accountin for taste
in reply to a message by LMS
I think the tryndee, kre8tymh names have gained considerable ground in the solid middle class, and even the lower ranks of the upper classes (if that makes sense!). I personally know a doctor with daughters Makenzie and McKenna (yes, both, not even twins, and both interchangeable with McKinley, imo) and a lawyer with a daughter named Jaedyn and a son named Bailey.
Blech, all around!

Yes, but what is their background?
And his wife's background?
My brother has daughters named Brianna and Lillyanna, both fairly lower-class to me. However, his wife is from the Midwest, and though educated, she's not educated if you know what I mean. She's a nurse, but she's not well-read, and her background is pretty working-class. Hence the names...they reflect her background. Her children's names, however, will reflect their background - and probably be more upper class. My brother wanted to name Brianna Amanda. Liliana was misspelt just for idiotic reaons imho - It's closer to Lynn (which is middle name, and his first daughter's middle name, and the children's initials spell his name...), and because it matches Brianna.
Yes, my brother is a bit of an egotist.

Agreed
My boyfriend's aunt and uncle have a good amount of money - they're probably upper-middle class, I'd say - and they have a daughter named Shaedra. (Their other kids' names are nms, but they're not bad: Brianna, Kristina, and Brody.) Then again, they're Mormon, and I remember reading somewhere (on a Mormon naming site, I believe) that it's fairly common among Mormons to make up names. Not sure how true that is, though. :/
