It’s like the objective is to get as “unique” as possible. So add an apostrophe or delete a vowel...
Yes it’s crazy
Nah, it’s the same every generation

I teach school in Los Angeles. With the multitude of ethnicities roll was always challenging. I do not have an issue with that. My issue is with all the made up garbage and garbage spelling as every parent competes to give their kid the most "unique" name. What is particularly annoying is when you do your best to pronounce a weird name according to normal spelling-pronunciation rules and the kid gets a disgusted look and "corrects" your pronunciation of their name in a disgusted tone. Hey, I didn't name you that-get pissed at your parents not me if your name is odd and no one gets it correctly!
I’m more just offended by the underlying idea that somebody’s baby is unique and thus requires a unique name. Your baby is a dime a dozen, just like the rest of us, get over it lmao.
I may be dating myself, but do you remember The Mothers of Invention? Leader Frank Zappa named his son Dweezil and his daughter Moon Unit! And they kept those names!
And back in the days, there was a Ima Hogg Piano Competition in Texas. There were two sisters, and their family name was Hogg. And their parents named their twin girls Ima and Yura, so it was Ima Hogg and Yura Hogg! I AM NOT KIDDING!!! Those parents should have been hung up by their thumbs!!
i definitely see names become more stupid by the year. it's like they're naming a pet, not a human being, that will grow into an adult that wants to be taken seriously some day xD
Yes. I was a teacher and some of the names or weird spellings for regular names were ridiculous. It's little wonder some of these kids have so much trouble spelling.
I once worked with a guy who was a substitute teacher and he told me he worked at a dayton shit hole school and he had 3 brothers in his class who's legal names were the biggest, the baddest, and the best
