HelpRe: from the Web: "Names that scream you are a trashy parent" Do you agree?
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
A couple of these (I'm looking at you, Joaux) seem to have been invented by the listmaker to fill out the list. I'm jus tnot buying that those names have really gotten any kind of use.
Are we over Nevaeh yet? Because all the fake-feeling outrage feels like twenty-five years ago. Soon enough it will either be considered totally unremarkable, or as dated as Brandy and Sherry are now. (And Margarita is a totally legitimate name; the Spanish for Margaret came way before the drink.)
You can't use Nick Cannon as any kind of barometer. He's a total celebrity whose one job is staying a celebrity. His kids are named accordingly. But I agree that Legendary Love Cannon is extremely bad, and it would not surprise me at all if it turned out to be Nick's and that particular baby-mama's tribute to Nick's private parts.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Right, that and Micycle I think are totally fictitious of the author.

A lot of these listical-makers have a pretty fast-and-loose idea of what "trendy" means. they'll see one example of a strange name, like Joaux, and decide it's some new trend.
