Other comments:
Attack of the nickname: Cristi, Gene, Danny, and Richie.
Attack of the place unisex name: Dakota.
The spelling makes all the difference: Erykka Rachele and Carren.
Just plain "what were they thinking?!": Kizzie (this is like a character on a cartoon), Heatherette (Adding the -ette makes Heather all the better), Ming Leeh (I'd say this is ethnic, but the parents are named Jonathan and Amy), Traver (Trevor and Travis merged), Dash (just a dash of Damon will do the trick), Funshine (I'm speechless!).
