Whatever has become of the name Mary? Or what about John? When I was in grade school the most exotic name in my class was Doreen. How flamboyant!
Today's parents aren't looking for good, solid names anymore. They are searching for the poetic and symbolic. I think some names are chosen simply to make the point that they, the parents, are indeed grown-ups, which in fact many are not. Below is a list of some names I've encountered. How would you like to be the little kindergartener who has to identify his or her macaroni art with some of these names? How do they learn to spell them?
Shatona
Elof
Remita
Alglozia
Anteze
Alshalene
Shanterial
Cannonette
Tashanti Lon'Ya
Tyquana
Nyshayona
Nykenyana
And my personal favorite: Lovely Fantasia
