A few comments:
Chassity Viloet Louise - Chastity is bad enough but this just seems silly to me. Has "ass" is the middle of it and makes me think of a "chassy" on a car. I REALLY hope that's a typo for Violet and not a kre8tyv spelling. Louise is lovely and spelled right, yay!
Ja'Mes Alyce Ashanti - Adding an apostrophe to JAMES does not make it feminine. :(
Mesa Sioux - A place where the Native Americans live? :-/
Violet Francine - gorgeous!
Wilder Rose - "Wilder" is not 1) a virtue one should encourage in a young person, 2) feminine in the slightest. I could see using it as a mn, esp. if it was a family name or if one had a fondness for Laura Ingalls Wilder (whose dd was named Rose, right?). But Wilder Rose sounds like a type of flower one would find in the deep recesses of the forest, not a little girl's name.
Pearl Angeline - lovely
Trulee Nellie - Trulee is a ridiculous name and spelling. Pairing it with another -lee sounding name is also ridiculous, imo. Nellie is fine as a nn, but I'll take it as a given name over Trulee any day.
Xaenaanne Marie - Can't even begin to guess how that is pronounced. X + an unusual amounts of vowels does not a name make.

Cooper Shepherd - Way too "occupational" for one combo
JhuaMryriawyn JuShyhoun - Oh dear. :(
Tyrese Petite - Little Tyrese? Can I hope they don't know what Petite means? Either way, it's ridiculous (I'm saying that a lot tonight :b).
Merrik Gene - Not crazy about the spelling of the fn (would prefer Merrick), but it's not horrible, even though it's terribly surname-y. Gene is very nn-y but still not an awful combo, imo.

By the way, is JhuaMryriawyn JuShyhoun for real? How do you pronounce that?

I love Sawyer but there's a little boy in our area with that name so I wouldn't use it. We're a small place where everybody knows everybody and I like a name that is going to stand out more from the others.

Question

---

I've been looking everywhere for BA in my area, online and in local papers, and cant find anything. Where do you find them? Or do some places not have BA?

---

Thanks!

Chassity: Chastity is bad enough. Would you name somebody Virginity? (Somebody probably would.) But spelling it Chassity or Chassidee or anything else just screams trailer trash.

---

Mesa Sioux: let me guess: parents are both blue-eyed blondes who've never been out of the state of New Hampshire except to take one vacation in the Grand Canyon. All the Indians they met there, they thought they were Sioux.

---

Wilder Rose: Because Wild Rose wasn't wild enough.

---

Xaenaanne: Fun with leftover Scrabble tiles.

---

JhuaMryriawyn JuShyhoun: How in the name of all that is sacred is this supposed to be pronounced? I suppose it's possible the parents are foreign-born, but I have this terrible feeling they aren't and just cobbled that name together after randomly pressing multiple keys on the typewriter.

Tyrese Petite: And of course he will grow to be six foot eight and 350 pounds.
