I don't get how some people come up with names...
Ethnic names don't bother me, it's the names that are just completely made up that I don't get. Or the apostrophe in the middle of the name- such as Jer'amy. Is the name Jer-Amy? No, it's Jeremy, but to be different, they put an apostrophe in the middle and changed the e to an a.
Oh, and "y" is not a universal replacer for all other vowel sounds!

Such as the "e" in apostrophe?

may i just say, as one of those kids with a "weird" name, it aint fun. my name is arabic, not difficult to spell or pronounce, but back in the 80's everyone was an Ashley or Jennifer, so i got seriously clowned  .
on that note, my sister graduated in 02 with Brandy, Tequila, Alize, and Courvosier.

My neighbor (single male) has a rule that he won't date anyone named after a type or brand of alcohol.

that's a good rule of thumb, as it will avoid problems
also, anyone named after a car such as Lexus, or Mercedes, or Chiraco

Try "Nissan." Now that is embarrassing. Don't these people think about what their kids will have to deal with regarding names like these?

I once had a professor that made an interesting point about naming kids (we were all just chit-chatting before class began). He said that when he and his wife were naming their kids, they thought about whether the name would suit someone from childhood through adulthood...asking themselves if they could imagine the name for a little girl in pigtails ("Little So-And-So") and imagine the same name for a dignified grey-haired woman ("Great Aunt So-And-So"). There are so many names I've ruled out for my future kids because of this. None of the names were as weird as 4Real, Superman, Tequila, or Lexus. However, they were names that would have been cute for a little kid but didn't sound that dignified and sophisticated for an adult.
