Hang on, I got one more. Henceforth, those named Henry will no longer be allowed to call themselves Hank. That's just too much of a stretch.

Look on the bright side - at least it wasn't spelled "Yuon'Iek" because that's the way things seem to be going these days.

I recently proposed this:
Baby is born.
You pick a name.
You MUST be able to spell the name the same way THREE times, orally, without looking, and pronounce the name.
Three separate doctors/nurses are given the opportunity to pronounce the written name THREE times. Two of those sets of pronunciations must have at least one try that is similar to the parents' pronunciation in the previous step.

If the parents either cannot consistently spell the name, or 2 out of three educated people can't come up with a similar pronunciation, you have to go back and rework it until you can satisfy these requirements.

It seems to me like there are a lot of phonetically spelled names these days. Lakeesha, Shaneequa, etc.

Reminds me of a joke I read in the paper, credited to Jon Stewart regarding Julia Roberts giving birth to twins -

"Roberts named her babies Hazel and Phinnaeus - because she doesn't like children."
 
A guy I know said he used to work in an ER. He had people come in who had named their kid's the worst names ever. Two examples were Sh!thead (pronounced Shith-ead) and Orangejello (pronounced Yur-enj-ah-loh). But seriously, you are just asking for your kid to get their ass kicked.
 
Launce... Seriously.

Rian... WTF.

Jordan... Every Jordan I've known is a d!ck, all Jordans suck.

Mason... Yeah! lets pick a cool chic, soap opera name for our baby!

Toby... Soap Opera

Blake, Blain, Blair... Soap Opera

"What shall we call our son so he does not get the sh*t kicked out of him at school?"

?We shall call him Engelbert!"

"Good, that'll work!"
