HelpRe: from the Web: "Names that scream you are a trashy parent" Do you agree?

1. Overall I think alcohol names are probably a bad idea but with exceptions. I also don't even think of Brandy as an alcohol name. I'm sure I heard it as a name first. I personally wouldn't use Margarita but seeing it on a Spanish speaking person would make sense to me.
2. No, no I have not ever heard of someone using Mike as a nickname for Micycle because that's not a name. I agree with the author stretching here.
3. Yes, Nick Cannon's kid's names are generally ridiculous but who else are using these names. Most of them are the most ridiculous when said all together as the full name. Some would be fine without the combo.
4. I agree with you. The only one they listed that was trendy and maybe seen as trashy is Jaxon because the x is replacing other letters that are traditionally there. All the other examples they gave are supposed to be spelled with an x.
5. I do hate deliberate misspellings to be different but those with history or are legitimate spellings from other cultures are fine. Also when everyone is thinking this the supposed to stand-out version becomes the more popular version. I know more children named Alivia than Olivia.
6. There are definitely worse. I don't love Nevaeh but it seems pretty normal by now. I like the sound but not the idea or spelling.
7. Who has ever heard of this?
8. I do think these are bad.
9. This definitely depends on the name and the brand. Also where you live, the popularity of the brand, what the product is. This one just has so many variables.
10. It's not great but not horrible. I think this author takes the meaning of word names too literally and is overly obsessed with the idea of kids growing up entitled based solely on their name which is just ridiculous. I could see some possibility of that because of parents choosing those names may treat the child in a way to make them entitled but it's not a given.
