I can see that. . .I associate these types of names with being more WT than AA.

Wow, you're going to lump Hilarie in with Brooklynne?

Which makes me think I know you, because that is my daughter's name...which, BTW, is a "normal" spelling. There is an actress with this spelling and I had a friend in middle school with this spelling. I am not low class or white trash in any way - I just liked this spelling better than the more commonly used ones.

Whatever - I hardly think this spelling is heinous in the same way that Hevvin is.

whenever I see a name spelled stupidly on a resume, I immediately know there is no chance I would ever hire them. apple doesnt fall far from the tree.

you're an idiot and lucky the one with a weird spelled name that will escape working for someone low like you.

I once knew someone whose last was Berger and named his son Jonah. I thought it sounded like the fish sandwich in a fast fod joint--two Jonah bergers and hold the mao.

My sister taught at a high school where she had twins in her class named Male and Female. Their parents were not from America, and thought that the hospital was giving them names, rather than identifying their gender.

I used to work in the underwriting department of an HMO that handled Medicaid patients in several states. It became a bit of a game for us to find the most outlandish names on the Medicaid rolls when we were data-mining the files for Quality Assurance purposes. It's been years and I don't remember some of the worst offenders, but I did come to the conclusion that poor people - like Hollywood celebrities - name their children some very odd things.

This is an urban folk tale; I have heard this story so many times. Show me birth certificates.

It's interesting ... I'm not seeing any mention of Tripp/Trapp/Track/Truck or similar names as being as worthy of derision as the ones that people (at least on this board) associate with AAs... Anyone care to explain? Or is it just that Tripp is clearly the "normal" spelling and we would only laugh if someone named the baby "Tryppe"?

I nearly fainted when my cousin said, in front of my friends from the private school where I work, that her grandchild name is Jackson but spelled Jaxson. What are people thinking?

Well, I personally don't see these as much so they didn't come to my mind quickly.

But, since you asked, I think these are equally hideous names.

Satisfied?

Yes, I have a friend who just named their child Jaxson (ugh) and a really awful middle name (which I won't post b/c I don't know if his wife reads this).
When he told me the name I just smiled and said that it was nice.

Speaking of stereotypes, you certainly seem to fit the stereotype of the nasty, disengaged HMO bureaucrat. (And no, your swipe at Hollywood celebrities doesn't exonerate you.)

That you are an equal-opportunity judgmental smuggie? Yes.

We know a family who named their kid who was born in July ... Noel.

A coworker and I spent some time explaining to an admin why Biafra wasn't a good name for her impending baby. Too many connotations of war and famine.
