My thoughts are: "Poor children!"
Jennavecia -Hate it
Aliya -Acceptable
Meah -OK
Benicio -This is actually Spanish, i think. A very old name, it means benevolent.
Cristobal -This is Spanish too and the adopted name of Christopher Columbus (Data Here)
Alorah -This is kinda pretty
Samirah -Not my style at all
Janina -I've heard it before, not my style, tough
Jazmyn -OK
Leighanna -Don't like it at all
Grayden -Hate ill with all versions of Grayson
Kinleigh -I'm speachless
Dacia -Don't care about it
Paitin -Poor child
Arimely -Don't care at all
Faythe -I prefer good old Faith
Joemy -Don't care about it
Madelon -Poor child
Giuliana -Hate it, hate it, hate it.
Shyla -don't care for it
Addasyn/Adyssen -Adyssen is quite acceptable, Addasyn is not my style at all
Phoenix -I prefer Felix
Maxim -OK
Hanalei -I prefer Annaleigh
Buzzy -Poor child
Aliet -Don't like it at all
Starlyn -I prefer Starr Lynn
Drazen -Poor child
Kaybreigh -Poor child
Rykard -not my style
Well, it seems like i kinda hated most of them. It's so unfair to the poor children
some of the names are just horrible. Some are not that bad, tough.
Jennavecia -Hate it
Aliya -Acceptable

some of these make me feel like my list isnt all that outlandish, although i will probably dislike fewer of them than the rest of you
Jennavecia - im not really sure how to even go about this one....
Aliya - its not bad
Meah - not quite sure what inspired the spelling but im ok with Mia which is what i "think" they were going for
Benicio - i suppose its ok for a traditional spanish name
Cristobal - crystal ball....
Alorah - i kinda like this one although i dont think it needs the h
Samirah - i again am not sure quite what to do with this, take out the r and i love it, with the r im not sure if its sami ra or sam ira either is just awkward
Janina - why?
Jazmyn - i dont mind the name Jasmine but for some reason changing the WHOLE spelling like this just bothers me, jazmine or jasmyn not both.
Leighanna - i think i just stated in another post that leigh like this just looks to bulky
Grayden -ok i prefer grayson, but this is ok
Kinleigh - dont like the spelling but love Kinnley
Dacia - this could be much much worse
Paitin - this is an AWFUL spelling of a boys name used on an innocent girl
Arimely - i really dont know, my eyes like it but i dont think my tongue does
Faythe - faith is ok this just looks like fay-the
Joemy - what the hell?
Madelon - mad lion, thats all i see. i like madelin though
Giuliana - is this juliana? dont like it
Shyla - i like the style of this name but not the name itself, it makes me think of someone i hate lol
Addasyn/Adyssen - i love the name addison, these spellings just look awkward
Phoenix - its not awful
Maxim - reminds me of the mens mag with all the half naked chicks
Hanalei - im hoping they are hawiian
Buzzy - ya i agree this is just mean
Aliet - i kinda like this one
Starlyn - nothing in the world could make this better for me.
Drazen - would prefer draven but it could be worse
Kaybreigh - why? i think the eigh is just too much, kaybre "might" have been acceptable
Rykard -this is ok too
Jennavecia - im not really sure how to even go about this one....
Aliya - its not bad
Meah - not quite sure what inspired the spelling but im ok with Mia which is what i "think" they were going for

haha I loved reading what you all thought... it was pretty much what was going through my head! I got all of these names from www.elvisduran.com they have a baby photo contest and even though the babies may have been cute, I honestly found it hard to help them win because I thought their parents were pretty crazy!!!

Oh yeah, and the first time I ever heard Gianna I liked it... mostly because of the nn Gia, but I always thought it was too uncommon. On that Baby contest however, there were a lot of Gianna's!

Jennavecia - Huh? I don't get it.
Aliya - Cute
Meah - Cute, but weird spelling
Benicio - No thanks
Cristobal - Ditto
Alorah - Cute, but not thrilled with the "h" on the end
Samirah
Janina
Jazmyn - Cute, but prefer the original spelling
Leighanna - This spelling makes it way too long
Grayden - Prefer Grayson
Kinleigh - Makes me think of Alfred Kinsey
Dacia
Paitin - That spelling has got to go. Way to ruin a perfectly good name.
Arimely
Faythe
Joemy
Madelon
Giuliana - This one doesn't look strange to me because I knew someone in school named this. I think it's an Italian spelling of Juliana. She went by Gia.
Shyla
Addasyn/Adyssen
Phoenix - Not for a first name
Maxim - Men's magazine
Hanalei - How do you even pronouce this?
Buzzy - Oh, dear Lord
Aliet - Maybe they are trying an alternate spelling of the Hebrew name Ayelet? I don't know.
Starlyn - I'd make it two separate names - "Star Lynn"
Drazen - Makes me think of a science fiction character
Kaybreigh
Rykard - Can't figure how they're pronouncing this either
I'm definitely a fan of unique names, just not so much made-up ones. Of course, I can see taking a family surname and using it as a first name, and that may be the case for some of these babies. But a lot of them look like they took a fairly common name and gave it a crazy spelling to make it unique. I personally don't like too stray too far from commonly accepted spelling variations, even if (and especially if) it's a unique name. After all, I have to spell "Ariella" for everyone, and I don't think it's difficult to figure out - it's spelled like it sounds - it's just a matter of "one L or two?"

I agree. There are so many nice biblical names to choose from, without resulting to Hezekiah. Did she particularly like that Bible character for some reason? That might explain it.
Also, Duane just doesn't "go" with Hezekiah.
