when is this crazy shit going to end?? when will parents stop naming their kids by the directions of the sky, fruit, random stuff and football clubs?? like, i do know you're not doing it so the Lanesras, Nort Wests, Apples and other kids with atrocious names would feel special or whatever, you're doing it for you, for attention, to look cool in front of other parents or whatever. It's selfish as fuck. Can you please stop?
Also unique spelling of common names needs to stop. You're Ashley, not Ashleigh or Jason not Jeisson. These are two names of kids I went to high school with who faced endless ridicule based off the fact their parents tried to make standard names something special.
All through elementary school I knew a boy named Couper (not Cooper). Until grade 6 teachers would advise he spelt his name wrong until he brought his birth certificate in.
We he got his licence it came back saying Cooper. When he called to complain saying he filled out his form very clearly, they told him they figured he spelt his own name wrong. That kids, is why you leave well-enough alone.
That's pretty bad. I'm not entirely against unique names, provided it is a nice, non-obnoxious name, but naming your kid after a football team/direction/favourite thing is just weird. A few years ago there's been an increase of a name that is the same as a name of a football club that was remarkably successful that year (thus people naming their daughters after it) in my country, however the name was Victoria, which is a considerably sane thing to name your kid (although it was quite rare in my country, as it isn't an English speaking country and the name is notorious because of a well-known story). Lanesra is still not that bad, considering that some parents named their kids Shanniqua or Hashtag, however the fact that it's just a name of a football club spelled backwards makes it seem idiotic.

Sorry about the Rhyan though
