Do names that need a pronunciation key drive you mad?

Seriously, and its worse when there are apostrophes randomly thrown somewhere in them. I'm just saying...

  1. Some of them do...names that most people would say correctly the second time or that can have more than one pronunciation don't bother me, but any time you see a name where there's nothing else to say but "WTF!?" are just ridiculous.  Hey, can I name my baby L'Shaneequiah?  What about Mo'niquha?  Can I hyphenate and call her L'Shaneequiah-Mo'niquha Nevaeh Jones?  (Don't even get me started on Nevaeh or names with multiple unnecessary letters...somebody suggested Vahronykka earlier.)

    But what really drives me nuts are the ones that have a truly horrible name and ask the same question ten times with three different accounts just holding onto a thread of hope that somebody out there will lie and say it's pretty or that it can be a unisex name when it's obviously not.  (Yes, I mean you, miss Giovanni Whatever Brahlms.  No, it's not a girl's name, and please stop asking.)


  2. only if they ghetto

  3. No, my daughters name is Isla and there are some idiots on here who will pronounce it [Is-lah] not [Eye-lah].

    the apostrophies and ghetto names do annoy me though.

    ie. La'quichea
