The Name Game … Envelope, Please.
As in past years, our Mostly Cajun friend regularly scours the “Births” section of the local Louisiana newspapers to see what people have been inflicting on naming their newborns. Each year, his readers get to vote on the “Name of the Year.” Here were the choices for 2011:
Makynle Joynce Renne
JaCeira LeiShi
KenDailyah dAriel
Javein Jovontaye
JaKyja SaMona
Phylahja Renee
NaMahnie Trenea
Nisar Demeare
Deonnie Darriele
Tanyria Lynae
DiAmon JaNai
Dzyiah DaShay
Kayleia Aurihanna
Cy’Ra Na’Sha, My’Ra Ja’Nai (twins)
Breezi Lei
Keyonnie Amayah LeShay
AlyJiah Andrellus
NaLainti Shanel Bethany
And the runaway winner was ….. [click]
You absolutely, positively cannot make this shit up.
I really wanted Breezi Lei to win.

As one who lives down in south Mississipi, 15 miles from Louisina, I can vouch for the veracity of these names. What I do not understand is: why burden your child with a name that will probably hurt their employability?

Lobotomy, hell!
Sterilization is a better option.
