I'm Still Here

No, this is not a review of crazy Joaquin Phoenix's new flick.

Just letting you, our fan, know that the shrinking betties are still here. Not shrinking as much as we'd like, but still two "betties", that's for sure!

So... like you (I know you're like this because you're reading our blog), I was perusing random blogs and found what I am deeming

The Worst Kid Name Ideas of today

These are real names that "real" people gave to their kids. Either that, or for protection of their privacy, these are the aliases of real kids that parents are posting on their public blogs.

1. Avri
   (I'm assuming this is supposed to be Avery, though it just looks like Avril forgot the L.)
2. Logyn
   (The mother was inspired with this name while waiting for her ObGYN.)
3. Maddax
   (Let's keep the family united and make sure even Maddox's name can't be spelled right by anyone outside the family.)
4. Kamber
   (Now, see, this is clever because it's like Amber, but with a K. You could do the same with any other letter! Mamber, Bamber... Banana Fana Fo Famber...)
5. Teancum
   (I'm not going to make fun of this name. I cannot say the same for his peers... But I consider him a awesome Book of Mormon hero and an altogether amazing man! ... But how do you say it? Te-an-cum? Tean-cum? Better refer people to the Pronunciation Guide... Great idea on how to share the Book of Mormon!!)
6. Tillman
   (The boy was given this name because... A. His dad is a big football fan and reveres Pat Tillman., B. Someone in their family once had this as their surname... because that's what it is - a last name., or C. His occupation as a farmer was predestined. Till, man. You just can't fight that.)

Now, if any of these names happen to be your kids' names, or your own name -- I'm sorry. Did the parents not consider these kinds of things beforehand? Clearly, no. And for that, we will all be sorry.
