I know someone named Kayce (pronounced like K.C. or Casey) and I still have to remind myself it's not pronounced "case" because of the spelling.

In a similar vein, I knew a KaCee.

Kuma Deboo was the director of the prison Piper Kerman was incarcerated in, per Orange is the New Black! I wonder if she was working as a consultant?

I knew a hardcore anti-American girl in university whose brother was named Denver. Every time she gave me crap, I'd ask her how Denver was doing. She was actually mostly cool and thought it was funny, we just had a "no politics" rule

From an NYT article about Texas parents bringing tackle football back for young kids despite the controversy:

"My kids love it, so I love it,” Qwanneshea Johnson said as she watched her sons Quentravious, 11, and Jourdan, 7, practice at West End Park."

An acquaintance who works in healthcare was asking for advice about a name-based dilemma: if a parent is proudly announcing to all and sundry that their tiny, brand-new baby girl is going to be called Melena, is it appropriate to inform them that's the medical term for bloody stool?

I think your friend was obligated to tell them that they're misspelling Melania

I do assume Americans are quickly getting used to the new wave of names. I don't remember them ever saying Hayden Panettiere has a stupid first name even though it's one of those randomly generated -aden/aiden names.

Hey gurl, hey.
Back in my drug days I was banging a weird rave gurl named Amerika. She was lots of fun but waaaay to into the scene. As soon as she started wearing those stupid beads outside of the parties I was out. That and she did waaay to much MDMA and had really bad mood swings because she kept bombing all the serotonin out of her brain.

It also helps to be able to examine things from an informed perspective and not to be a big ol' jerk over really stupid and inconsequential things! Let me help you:

Yes, Hayden is a perfectly nice and normal name, and it is not a new name. Actually, no one in the thread has claimed that, IIRC. However, the explosion of names ending in "-ayden" sounds over the past few years has put Hayden in with the rest of the lot. I've posted a few crazy ones, myself (Blayden, Rayden, etc.) and other goons have found similarly stupid permutations. I'm sorry you named your baby or your hamster or your RealDoll Hayden and are butthurt, but I think if you really examine your heart, you'll see that no one means any malice.

Now go pick that wedgie, I think it's starting to chafe you and make you all grumpy.

I like the -adens better than the -sons, but that's just personal preference. I'll take a Jaden over a Jackson or a Greyson - or, worse yet, a Jaxen or a Greyzen - any day.
