    This. I work at a daycare, and I swear every kid almost has an unusual name, or a common name spelled stupidly. We are in generation "name your kid dumb shit for attention" :fp:
    I went for a third trimester check up with a friend.. And as my friend waited,
    We could hear the nurse and patient before her.. The nurse asked.,

    Seriously! There are kids named Ekho, Xiana (pronounced Sienna :roll: ), Kasch (pronounced Cash :roll: ), Ema, tyree, Aeryn, (pronounced Erin :roll: ), Xoxia (pronounced Sosha :roll: ) etc. All in one building! Ridiculous. I'm not wanting to make fun of kids here, I love my job, but the parents... :nono:
