Some of those names are beautiful,Adisyn, Whytli, Xakoi,(xakoi by the way i am guessing a parent or grandparent went to brazil or somewhere around there and found that unique spelling. how you would say it would be sha-koy almost as a mix of cheyanne and mckoy. that is the spelling behind it obviously. a very classy name.) i think it would be fantastic to have a name so unique. employers could find you easily, and people would know exactly who you are. for example if i said “i was chatting with jennie the other day.” “Jennie who?” would not have to be asked. You would be remembered by many more poeple, and i think it would be funny to hear all the crazy ways to pronounce it! The parents were only spicing up thier kids life! good for you parents thinking ahead! I have a master degree in psycology…odd names help your self-confidence! i am just filling in the other side of an opinion. unique names are great in my point of view.

I’m a substitute teacher, and so I get to see a wide variety of crazy names. My top three are:

Qylci (Pronounced “Kelsy”)
Unique
Lyric

Paul had me go on your blog and read the weird name article. In all honesty, I thouroughly enjoyed it and just had to respond, especially taking into accound the amount of thought it took.
First thing I have to say is that you would be adding us to your list of weird parents who name their kids quite unusually if I let Paul name our children. Get this. Before we knew that we were having a girl, Paul’s suggestions for boy names were Link (take into account our last name) and Hydrogen. Funny, huh. Well, actually, Paul totally agrees with you and likes traditional names and I tend to stray just a tad to names that are less well known. He says that if he would name it something different he would go all the way, therefore Hydrogen. Its good that we had a girl.
Also, I am puzzled by people’s desire to spell things funny. From a foreigner’s prospective-as if English language spellings were not already hard enough. And let the parents of the kid forgive me, but name Axel is too much. Also that Xakqoi name or whatever, I am not sure the child will like his name mispronounced everywhere he will turn- school, work, etc. I just don’t get it. Why do people want to complicate things for their kids?
Ok, I guess this is long enough.
I do have to say though, one name really caught my attention (Kaid), I think I would add it to my list of baby names.

That was an interesting read. (I’m not even joking) You did your homework! Or were you just wasting time during church (which I can totally understand)? I think you just gave me a reason not be board anymore – I’ll statisticize the ward! (I’m pretty sure I just made that word up)

Anyway, I totally dug that post!

Qzyxa is obviously a girls name. Duh.

Remember the culturally insensitive joke about Chinese people that says that when naming a kid, the Chinese will drop a spoon and name the kid whatever sound the spoon makes when it hits the floor? Maybe in Utah they drop that spoon on a keyboard, and whatever pops up on screen is the kid’s name. Or maybe, in a ward with that many kids, the parents are just trying to find ways to make their own kid stand out. I often think of how much more popular I would have been if my name were spelled Knicole, or Nikol, or Nycoal. Think about it, Rhyenn

Archand uses Axel as a nickname. This kid has it as his actual name.

I’m not worried. Aubrey and I have already bought personalized stuff for little “Qzyxa” (we wanted to go with a name that could be for either a boy or a girl… It’s pronounced more like Kwqtw)

the stake has been put in the ground — now we will all be able to compare this with what ever name you and Aubrey come up with for your child =-)

Archand has been going by Axel for many years now — not a common name. I only recognize 4/5 as names that I have heard attached to someone… and I think 2 of those are from one family that started their family in Utah…
