Strangest spelling of a name you have ever seen

[Lord Bracknell]

I have some distant Australian relatives who have three children called:-

Kayleigh-Bree
Maddisyn-Leigh
Chelcee-Annaleigh


The double-barrelled first names go with their double-barrelled surname, Apps-Gale.

I win.

Maddisyn-Leigh
Chelcee-Annaleigh.

My pet peeve is women's names that used to be surnames, or that used to be men's given names, or derived from them.

I have had in class girls named Madison (Wisconisn? US founder James Madsion?), Taylor (the girls named Taylor now far outnumber the boys), Mackenzie (big hit in Canada -- NOT!), Riley, and Kendall.

I had a printout that had the boys in one column, the girls in the other, and the girls's column sounded like a law firm:

Keely, Addison, Riley, Kendall and Morgan, Attorneys at Law.

In a sane world, a baby name book would be harder to buy than a handgun.
