Destiny is a fairly normal name, as is Devyne. Well, to me, anyway. I'm used to Nevaeh. Miracle is new to me, though, and I think Renesme is the pits.

Destin-y is normal, but Destinee and Destini are not so much, I think.

Renesmee would be the worst name ever.

My favorite name is still La-a. Do you know how to pronounce that because it's not what you think.

lady_deirdre August 11 2009, 06:56:14 UTC

Like princess Leia?

I hope you mean 'favourite' as in 'gave me the biggest laugh of the week' :D

sweet_tea79 August 11 2009, 14:57:26 UTC

Nope, it's not "Leia"! Any other guesses? And yes, that's exactly what I mean by favorite.

I know but I won't ruin it. ;)

My favorites (and these are all real)

IceTea BabyJesus (mom's two favorite people)
Abcde (AB suh dee)
Usnavy (mom saw it on the side of a ship)
Nadxyzvie (I don't know how to pronounce it. We just called her 'sweetie')
Twins: Lemonjello and Orangejello (mom craved jello during pregnancy. Pronounced lem ON jello and or AHN jello)
Chlamydia (mom saw it on her chart)
Female (fe MAHL lay). Again mom saw it on her chart
Meconium (name for baby's first poo. Mom heard us talking about it and thought it was pretty, even after we explained what it was)
Shi'Thead (look closely. Pronounced she THE id)
As'Shole (ah SHOL ay, again, look closely)

I really wish we had baby naming laws here.

I'm all for creative names, but the way some people choose to spell even the 'normal' ones is mind-boggling.

leila82 August 11 2009, 22:40:40 UTC

Yeah, you know those kids are going to go through hell in school, with substitute teachers struggling to say their names...

cattiva7784 August 11 2009, 15:23:08 UTC

Too funny. You know, I haven't read Breaking Dawn but I'm just realizing that the name is Renee and Esme mixed. oO. Anyway, how the heck do you even pronounce that ish?

leila82 August 11 2009, 22:39:03 UTC

Ruh-nez-mee? Idk...I'm just dreading the day I have to call someone that!

thegirliscrazy August 12 2009, 20:33:15 UTC

Heh, this reminds me of when my sister and I would get the local newspaper and laugh at all the kids' names. We've seen some mind-bogglers.

Sadly I am all too familiar with the Destiny/Destine/Destini's and the Myracles. It's been a running joke for years so you would THINK that would let someone know, "Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't set my child up to be a walking punchline for life." But no, they continue to think that shit is cute. Sigh.
