Stupid names spelt stupidly is obviously bad. But at least most of them sound vaguely pleasant. McKentley is a stupid name for stupid people, but it's passable; why not. But Drawson is just unpleasant; there's nothing appealing about it (to my ear). What a poor unfortunate child.

Is the "ne" at the end of Drawsonne pronounced? "Draw-sonny?"

Holy gently caress is their last name Frogmouth?

The last letter in their first name is a 'y', the second last might be an 'n'... so if that was true i'd guess "Tawny Frogmouth" was a screen name, not an actual name, cause it's one of these muppet-rear end birds

I'm guessing she was named after a Joshua, but it looks like they were going for Jocelyn and hosed it up. It's kind of charming.

I wonder why not Josephine or Josette? They seem like much more obvious choices. Prettier too, no offense to any Joettes reading this.

I used to be friends with a girl named Peterann, named after her grandpa Peter. That gave me the same vibe. Her parents could've called her Petra (which is far cooler imo) but nah, they purposely wanted the weirder version. And no, she wasn't also named after an Ann :shrug:
