Oh yeah -- about the kids' names: SAYLOR grates me the most, damn these basic bitches SPELL THAT SHIT RIGHT ALREADY. It would have been a sweet name spelled SAILOR for fucks sake enough with these "creative" hooked-on-phonics names.

If you've never read the "Not Without my Handbag: Baby's Got a Bad, Bad Name," site, you should. It's sadly not been updated in a long time (or at least hadn't last time I checked), but the archives are hilarious.
I HATE those "creative" spellings even more than I hate the fucking Cabbage Patch names these morons give their children. Our old neighbors named their daughter "Neveah." You know, "heaven" spelled backward. When they told me her name it took all the effort I could give to smile and say, "Oh, that's pretty," instead of making gagging noises and asking if they wanted her to grow up to be a fat single mom.
My kids have unusual names (well, the oldest one's is more unusual; the youngest isn't the only kid with that name around), but they are actual names, and the oldest's is common in Scandinavian countries. This, unfortunately, means that parents of little Draykin and Attakis think that I'm on their side, and are always eagerly sharing with me the hideous monikers with which they've saddled their defenseless children, thinking I'll love them. No, Daughter's School Counselor, I do not think your naming your children Silver Tungsten Jedediah and Brooklyn Sable Calliper is an awesome thing to do. What I do think is that, having done that to your own children, I do not trust your judgment regarding anything you might suggest for my child, who has a perfectly normal name that might be less common than Jessica or Amy but is still an actual name that people have been giving their children for hundreds of years.

LMAO -- yeah, this was me as a teacher reacting to the latest Dezztynee, Bryteny, Harmone, Jayton, and oh yes, Lovelyn.
Edit: "Attakis" GAAAAH that's what I'm talking about! Did it frigging hurt these idiots to not go the extra inch and name him Atticus, a solid real name for fucks sake? face-palm

Edit: "Neveah" oh lordy lord -- makes me think of Nivea creme gaaaah!

Hahaha wow, well said! I think a lot of these "creeyative" spellings are just an exercise in narcissism on the part of the parents, wanting their kids to have unique names that stand out. It's silly. Just name your kid something normal ffs. And naming them things that aren't even a name - why in the name of all that's holy would anyone think that's okay to do to a child? Why the fuck would you name your kid Apple, or Blue, or Poet, or some other stupid non-name? It's perfectly okay to name your kid Sarah or Jonathan or Andrew or Jessica.
