I know an Anastasia that is Russian But she goes by Staci. . .I like Anastasia better.

You just named two siblings I know!

Thankfully, neither of my two are on these pages!

And hillbilly names like Jaimie Lyn, Ashlyn, Annabelle, Billy Ray, Britteny Ann, etc.


Not sure how the highlighted names are considered hillbilly?


You can't be serious. I'm not the PP but Ashlyn is about the most WT name I can think of, except maybe Brooklyn.


People make up weird names to provide cache they seek. Angelina Jolie's mother changed her name from Marsha Lynn to Marcheline after the family moved from the mid-west to Hollywood. She wanted to sound exotic and French.

I grew up with an Ashlyn and there was absolutely nothing hillbilly about her. Very sophisticated, educated woman actually. I guess it's all who you assiciate it with because that name doesn't sound remotely hillbilly to me. So "the most WT name I can think of"? Not even close.

Sadie. Just too close to "sadist". It makes me think of kids that torture animals.

Britteny Ann as one name, not Britteny and Ann separately. You don't see how that sounds kinda hillbilly?
