I agree. Naming kids is getting out of hand. A knew a Celinda, once. Except it was spelled Xelenda.

And what is it with giving every kid a surname/first name?

People don't realise they are sentencing their kids to a lifetime, A LIFETIME -- even into adulthood, of spelling their name and it STILL being wrong. Or having it mispronounced. Can you imagine the smirks and giggles that will accompany the teacher on opening day when she says "Zeldefinda Jones?"

A girl in my daughter's dance class was given the catchy moniker "Dakota"; 'cept, someone had trouble with the spelling, and it came out as Decoda. De-Co-Da.
