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?

LOL.

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.
