"Female names I really dislike include Madison, Brianna, Brochi, and just about any pretentious name I can think of."

Couldn't agree more. I saw this AFTER I posted about pretentious parents. These names are nauseating - just like the parent(s).

Another popular name in some communities is Hesus. Not sure of the spelling but it means Jesus. Honestly, how can one disgrace Jesus like that? No mere mortal is worthy of His name, yet it's quite common in some ethnic groups. Or how'd you like the name STONE as in STONE Phillips? I have little doubt his parents got stoned now and then.

Jesus (spelled "Jesus", pronounced HAY-zeus) is a very common Mexican name for boys. It is not considered any more disrespectful than naming your daughter Maria (Mary). Although I wonder if the "Chastity, Faith, Charity" effect applies to these boys. (see post #64)
