The Girls With the Cellophane Chests

Bri has posted a list of children's names she's encountered while substitute teaching. Given my love of names, I asked permission to post it here. She responded with some pretty inappropriate things, so I just went ahead and posted it anyway.

• Nallely (pron: "Nye-el-ey")
• Xiomara (I've heard this before, but only on Top Model)
• Rennwick (as a first name)
• Marvel (accent on the "el")
• CeMone (pron: "Si-mone")
• Champayne
• TaKia
• Daylon
• Noe (pron: "No-way" As in: "No-way would your parents do that to you!")
• Atibere (pron: "At-ah-berry")
• Justyce
• Lexus (Again, seen it before, but only on strippers)
• D'zha (pron: "Dee-zhay" As in: How a particularly snotty Frenchman would pronounce "DJ")
• Shayland
• Deaze (pron: "Dee-ah-zhay" No relation to D'zha)
• Estefany (As in: parents were big Gloria fans in the early 90s)
• D'Andre (pron: "Dee-ahn-dre" Heard it before, but never seen it spelt this way)
• Shaquille (As in: "You poor, poor boy.")
• Tashara
• Jecci (pron: "Jess-ey" As in: "Your parents thought they were super clever, huh?")
• Brittonya (As in: Brittany + Tonya = A Travesty)
• Lindsretha (As in: Lindsay + Aretha = A Greater Travesty)

The parenthetical explanations are Bri's, not mine.
