Intentional misspellings of traditional names

Androgynous names.

I have a Jack and don't find it offensive that some people dislike it. We didn't name him for other people!

I've always loved Jill but I can't have a Jack and Jill.


I also have a Jack and love the name Jill. If I had a girl, I'd be very tempted to name her Jill

I just hate the ones that defy the rules of academic pronunciation. Like naming a child Case and telling everyone to pronounce it Ca-shay or some other nonsense variation.

For a canine.


Margaret is my daughter's name (after my mother). I've heard countless times "oh, that's my dog's name". I have a friend whose son is Max and hears the same thing.

I agree with the PP on the K names. One of my facebook friend's used Khloe - what is she, a Kardashian? And then Jewel named her baby Kase - seriously? Stop the insanity.


You're kidding. Jewel Kase like the thing CD's come in.


haha - I hadn't thought of that. That isn't the combo, as HER name is Jewel and the BABY is named Kase, but putting their names together is pretty funny. I just object to the odd use of K in the place of C.

I happen to LOVE some of the current common names, as long as they are not too cutesy.

PP, funny about ex's penises - mine was "Joe". Perhaps this should be a different thread?
