LOL at the "special people" reference ... I SO agree. They think they are "special" because their name is something bizarre. Ummm, no.

I was looking at my son's school picture from last year a few days ago, and remarking about how appalling the names were. Here are the kid's names: Shelbie, Nikkie, Aislen, Brittnee, Cherish, Daniel, Preston, Stevan, Casey, Jesseca, Dylan, David, Corry. So out of thirteen kids, only five have names that are actually properly spelled names: Daniel, Preston, Casey, Dylan (my son!), and David. All the rest of either words that aren't really names at all (Aislen, Cherish) or slaughtered spellings ( Shelbie, Nikkie, Brittnee, Stevan, Jesseca and Corry.) I especially feel sorry for Stevan and Corry - boys seems less amused than girls by that nonsense. And Jesseca ... if she doesn't change the spelling when when she gets older, she will have to spell her name for EVERYone, EVERYwhere. Not cute.

The whole cutesy name thing loses appeal shortly after high school graduation. I feel sorry for people saddled with their parent's lack of vision for a lifetime.
