That is a great site - it really appeals to me as a name nazi, and there are some hideous examples on it! Still none as bad as a couple I have heard/seen.
The hardest thing is biting your tongue when someone shares a name that you think is just awful! But I manage to, unless they ask for my opinion, in which case I am honest.

I've spent the last hour and a half just wetting myself over some of the names, and some of the comments.
Sooo funny..
"I love the name Meloncholia Francessca Antouinette for a girl and Zakeri Atruellu for a boy, but my family and spouse ablosute hate it."

Lol - I thought this one was great:
Brittany after the statue- Brittania
'Cause nothing in, say, France is called Britanny. Nothing big like a province. Nothing else in England called Britannia, either. Nothing big like...England.
Love the sarky comments!!!!

Reminds me, I have to say, I found out my trailer trash bro is having a boy (well his gf is) they had their scan today, and it was a great sigh of relief to hear it's a boy, cos if it was a girl, the poor wee mite was going to be calld.. now, you had better sit down....SHAKIRA. Yep, thats right. I would have had to call it baby as I would not have been able to say Shakira without laughing, but it might have sounded a bit odd, when she was about 20 or so, aye?

Oooh that reminds me of when I found out I was pregnant, I was an office temp with another girl. We were talking about baby names and she said that if she ever had a girl she was going to call her Shakira. I burst out laughing, thinking she was joking, but she wasn't. She then went on to say 'Not because of the singer, I thought of the name WAY before Shakira was a singer..' I laughed about it for ages..

Or for twins - Gin and Tonic

I think both your boy's names are gorgeous Glow! They are unique but not ridiculous like some others.

My poor little cousins name is Tegan McFanny! Yes you read it right! I don't know how my uncle could have done that to her!
In saying that my SIL named her daughter Brianna which is a beautiful name, but it is the reason behind it that always causes my DH and I to have fits of laughter.
"Because it's a happy name!"
Yes she is a bit simple!

As a teacher I've come across a few horrific ones:
Christmas
Greenlane
Seaman (named after his grandfather who was a ship captain)
Cinnamon
Right now it's funny though, as my class this year and last has been full of Madisons, Mikaylas, Jacks, Megs, Tylers, Charlee's - must have been a trend 5-6 years ago!

Noooooo.... surely no-one would do that to their child  Do they not realise what his nicknames will be?
