    That might be one of the worst made up names I’ve ever seen. Not surprising is that “Leigh” is spelled wrong.

    If most of the names in this thread are criminal, then that “I” after “Y” is a capital offense.

    That sign she’s holding looks like a kid who just really likes making swoops when practicing cursive.

    Calum is an everyday name in the UK. I have a Calum and a Niall in my extended family. Prob more common, but I was almost named Alistair.

    What the fuck

    also this reminds me I’ve got a strange name and I shouldn’t pass judgment but also back in my day there were maybe 1 or 2 of us uniquely named kids per grade. The idea of a class of dumbed down phonetically spelled hard consonant sounds is too much to bear

    Last few posts made think of this. Guess it all cycles. Eventually, just like in medieval times, the one kid in class with the unique name will be a Carl. :laugh:

    I had to double check that it wasn’t a typo or something. I assume it’s pronounced like Bruin?
