LOL =DThis list really does contain some horrendous names.

I can't help but to wonder just who would come up with these kinds of names? I mean, most of the namers I've met in my life have been just plain old boring in their taste, but nothing like Gorgeous Jahmyla (and this is one of the more tame ones). I'm kind of counting down the days until I meet someone with a name like that.

ExactlyI've never met anyone with a word name, even. Even my (old) classmates who've had children in their *ahem* teens have had more, dare I say, class than that. Still, I can only imagine it's people under the age of 25 coming up with these... =)

Not only have I never met someone with a word name, I don't think I've ever met an Emma, Sophia, or Emily. Seems like every person I know is either a variant of Elizabeth, Jessica, Jennifer, or Julia.I can only imagine people under age 25 coming up with these names, though watching celebrities sometimes I wonder if age is really a factor. I actually have a theory that some of them let their children name the new babies (the non-celebrity people, that is).

Thanks for mining them out...I love Jezebel. I'm glad someone's used it.I also &hearts Ambrosia, Echo, and Sloane. I'm glad Paris is being taken back for the boys. Some of these (Elizabeth, Alexander) go without saying. =)

Technically, I'm not sure whether the Sloan I knew spelt her name with an e or not, so I like them both :)I'm thrilled whenever I see Paris on a male. Parisa is such a gorgeous female name, I wonder why so many people want to use Paris on females. I understand the whole Paris, France thing, but what about the male Paris from mythology? Doesn't he matter?I'm glad someone's using Jezebel too, I just wish the fn weren't Jade ): Jade Jezebel sounds like a title.

Eek! I don't mind Jezebel and I don't mind Jade but together they're weird. I'm kind of glad that the combo is in that order though because to me Jezebel Jade actually does sound trashy and stripperish though neither of the names do on their own.

Awww. I wish it weren't in the middle either. The alliterative thing is a bit much, as well. =/Isn't he partially responsible for the Trojan War? =PHe matters. As I don't mind being matchy, I considered- briefly- naming my twins Hector and Paris (or Paris and Cassandra; I don't know the genders yet). ♥

Paris and Hector / Cassandra would be so great as a sibset! That's the kind of matchy sibet I love to see :)Paris certainly is partially responsible for the Trojan War, but then again, in so many tellings of the story, Helen is as well. People still use the name Helen, so Paris is would be fine.I wish Jezebel weren't in the middle too. It's a shame to hide her away.
