Other comments:
Attack of the trendy name: Mikayla, Madison, and Skylar.
The spelling makes all the difference: Jacquelyne Rozealyn (Jaqueline Rosalyn just wasn't pretty, I guess) and Kaaran (Karen is too clean looking).
Attack of the nickname: Tonia, Brookie, Leonie, and Alex.
Just plain "what where they thinking?!": Nerman, Eylany Gloribel, Carolee, Shaniah Sharice, Vilma, Zoraida, Sanda, Regis, Dar'Niel, Dynasti Te Ari, Rocky, Dae'sean, Adeseke, Amgad, and Fisher.
