---

Chance Reed

---

Ambrosia: A bit too perfume-y to use as a name.

---

Apsen Belle: The beauty queen of the ski slopes! Or else a Colorado phone company.

---

Blakeleigh Grace: Talk about no flow, a cacophony of c and l and ay sounds.

---

Berklie: Roger and Muff Go California-Style!

---

Chansis Le'Anne: Should have given her the mn or Rose or Renee so she could be Chansis R (Chances Are.)

---

Desire Chanelle: Looks like conspicuous consumption rearing its designer-coiffed head.

---

Dynasti Renee: Die Nasty, Renee, you trailer park queen!

---

Ezekiel Grace: Sticking the filler mn Grace does not a feminine name make. Ezekiel. Honestly.

---

Hinkley Ann: Oh, THAT"S nice! So the kids can call her Stinkley? Or so when they talk about Ronald Reagan in history class the kids can snicker about her being named almost the same name as that spaz who tried to shoot him?

---

Hopie Diamond: Cutesy-fying the Hope Diamond is not a wise thing to do.

---

Hunny: As if Honey wasn't dumb enough! I have seen people misspell Honey this way and it just looks so damn stupid!

---

Israel: I'm not too fond of Isreal as a country, let alone asa name. For either gender.

---

Ivory Marjoie: Orie-itis.

---

Jersy Lynn: All the New Jersey jokes I've heard are racing through my head.

---

Lotus Hope: Lotus Hope she changes her name to something else later on.

---

Oryhan Marie: This may be a kre8yv spelling of Orion, but then again it may be some foreign name totally unrelated to Orion.

---

Purity Renee Louise: The name will be a joke when she becomes the school slut at 15.

---

Royale Unique: Screams Trailer Trash.

---

Sunnie Mae: Dangerously redneckosj/
Treasure Hop: Is this some new picnic game I haven't played? Like maybe a treasure hunt combined with a Bunny Hop?

---

Trinity Grace: Trying way too hard.

---

Axel Skye: A serious mismatch.

---

Coy Bryant: Coy is redneck by itself. Together this looks like Bryant is a simpering, coquettish kind of guy.

---

Deimon Anthony: Surely Damon would have worked just as well without making him look like a demon.

---

Hawthorne: Obsessed with prickly things much?

GIRLS
Ambrosia- Dislike.
Aspen Belle- Nice enough.
Azure-Rae- Dislike the name but especially the use of a hyphen.
Blakeleigh Grace- Blakely already looks a bit made up but to spell it like this is a little too much for me.
Berklie- Dislike but would've been better spelled Berkley.
Chansis Le'Anne- Yuck.
Charisma Denise- Dislike.
Desire Chanelle- Sounds quite tacky.
Dynasti Renee- Dislike and what's up with the spelling of the fn?
Ezekiel Grace- Definitely not on a girl.
Harmony JoyAnn- Dislike.
Haven Marie- Dislike the mn but Haven is nice.
Heaven La'Niyah- Dislike.
Hinkley Ann- Reminds me of John Hinckley Jr. that tried assasinating Reagan so not the best association.
Hopie Diamond- Dislike.
Hunny- Sweet nn and that's it.
Israel Lee-Ann- Israel seems masculine to me.
Ivory Marjorie- Dislike.
Jersy Lynn- Dislike.
Journey Rayann- I've noticed lots of people like this for their daughters but I don't know what the appeal is.
Jurnee Ella- Ella is beautiful but to pair it with an alternative spelling of Jurnee is just sad.
Kashche' Serenity- Dislike.
Lotus Hope- Dislike.
Lundyn Noelle- And why do people have to butcher London?
Magnolia- Okay.

This list is one of the most depressing things I've seen in awhile, but at least we can salvage Ambrosia, Harmony, Marjorie, Hope, Magnolia (A GP, what can I say?), Leona, Grace, and a few other middle names for the girls. For the guys, I'd salvage Axel, Paul, Anthony, Hollis, Scott, Justus, Julian, Alexander, James, Courtney, and Angelo... Maybe a few others. Treasure Hop (Hope?) and Maddux Danger gave me a good laugh, though.
