LOL - I love that line from Nutty Professor!

Back to the thread at hand...as for the crazy spellings - don't know why people have to go and do that. I used to teach, and I'd ask a student her name - she'd reply "Jane" and I would start to write it and she'd say "No - its J-a-i-y-n-n-e" -- I'm like

We named our son "Elijah" (Eli for short) because it was traditional and we were sick of the trendy "Dakota, Hunter, Tyler, Jordan, etc." -- our doctor delivered him and said "I just delivered an Eli, and there's another in the nursery" -- I was like GREAT! Now he'll be one of fourteen in his class!

If we have another child (big IF), and if its a girl, she will be "Ellis" after my gram's maiden name. Although I hear that is getting trendy too. Ugh! Try to do something special and it becomes trendy!! If its a boy, Ellis will be his middle name (he'll hate me!)

My niece is 7 - her name is Emma -- people constantly ask my sister if she named her that after Rachel's baby on Friends! Hello - the child is SEVEN! At the time, that was a "new" name!

Worst names... my friend "April May June" -- swear! And anything that is named after the current "it" person. I also read that Oscar and Homer were getting very trendy for boys - my dog is an Oscar, but don't expect any Homer's from this family
