What's in a name?

[MsFoxyLoxy77]

Some person decided to start a trend and give their kid some off the wall name. Every older adult in my family has a perfectly beautiful and dignified name. Names like, Brenda , Sara, Audra, Jacquelyn, Irene...I think we as a people are just giving up a lot of very strong traditional names by bestowing names even the kids and parents can't pronounce on them. My brother is named Arthur, my sisters Shannon and Jordan. As for me my mother wanted to name me Brandy but my father didn't like the name so my mother bought a book and found a greek derived name that she liked. I can actually explain the meaning of my name but... even though I know my name is pretty it is hard as a kid not being able to find a key chain of my name in a department store, when my sisters and brother were in and out in five minutes.

And another thing I am disappointed at all these ladies who choose to name their baby girls after their baby daddies (or hopefully husbands).. can we say ghetto. Simonica, Cliffinique, Alvinice, Leroynda, Timeisha.
Now we know you're like the names Simon, Cliff, Alvin, Leroy, and Tim but a girl should be given a girls name not some name altered to suit your silly purpose.
And yes I know names like Roberta and Jane are derived from the male names Robert and John but I think you'll all agree that there is a big difference between those two names and Joesha.

Although I'm only 19 I'm tired of having to apologize for not being able to pronounce someone's name right.

THE MADNESS HAS GOT TO STOP!
