I just glanced through this thread and some of those names are past strange! Whatever happened to spelling names the way they sound and vice versa. A child has to live with his/her given name the rest of its life. A teacher shouldn't have to figure out what on earth a child's name is and that child shouldn't have to hear its name mispronounced. It is a proven fact that children with extremely unusual names have a harder time in school because children like to be like everyone else. Other children can be cruel also and a name is one way to make fun of peers. Think ahead - with a name like Precious (or worse), how can one be taken seriously in a career. Everyone is entitled to her own opinion and now you know mine!
