So my husband and I are in complete agreement on what we'll name the baby if it's a boy and nowhere near agreement on what we'll name it if it's a girl. (Which means we're having a girl, of course.)
Out of curiosity, and looking for some inspiration, I made the mistake of looking up a baby names website. I kind of knew the names would largely be horrible, but I wasn't really prepared for how horrible. The people behind this website apparently think it's acceptable to name your child any of the following: Amari. Celyn. Genoveva. Evaki. Evensong. (Evensong!!!!) Fuschia. Bracken. (The fuck?!?!) Ginerva (which sounds to me like a vitamin supplement for old people). Hop. Kiley. Lochellen (a female monster in Scotland?) Randilyn (please, don't). Sequence (this is not a name!!!) Yank (umm...just put the stripper pole in the nursery already because a girl named Yank is destined for a career in pornography). Yoad (a girl named Yoad is destined for a lifetime of loneliness. Also--I wonder if they meant Yoda and mispelled it. Because while either name seems ludicrous for a girl, I feel that I've already demonstrated how little taste these supposed baby namers have). Bridge. (Motherfucking BRIDGE. Again, not a name!)
No thanks, babynames.com.
I find that Facebook is also an unintentional treasure trove of terrible names. That's how I found out that some chick who knows some chick I went to high school with 20 years ago named her daughter Londyn. Londyn--with a y.
Back to the drawing board, obviously.
