    I assume there are a few that get tossed around as stupid names that people don’t realize are actually names from other cultures.

    My money is on accidentally Arabic.

    It being from Southeast Idaho makes me think that’s a safe bet

    I’ve thought about it and decided that the highest percentage play is that the child is named after MAGA, but the parents aren’t quite brave enough to jump in with both feet, so they added a zine and think they’re really pulling one over on the libs.

    Weird names/stupid spellings might as well be an entrance requirement for those events. Pageant parents need to be slapped, and the stupid shit they name their kids is just one of the reasons.

    I don't believe this. I can't.

    Is Jared the standard pronunciation? Does Dared rhyme or is it pronounced like the verb??

    not sure if you’re seriously asking if Lyla is a weird name. It’s a pretty name that doesn’t belong itt. It’s British and means Island Beauty. People can been named other things than Henry John Linda and Elisabeth.
