Name day

Girls’ names from local paper: Breanna, Haylee, Brooklyn, Shelbee, Meadow, Jaylynn, Payton, Sydney, Casey, Deidre, Jenna, Kristin, Sammy, Kayla, Tori, Regan, Kaylee, Alexa, Savanna, Nivea, Kylie, Makayla, Aki, Alyssa, Payton, Bailee, Taylynn, Hayley, Taya, Shane, Natasha, Carleigh. OMG, what does this trend mean? Parents can’t spell; the public can’t pronounce these names. Past times, the saints, the Bible or a significant person led the way to names, such as Rita, Kathy, Mary, Margaret, Anita, Anna, Roberta, Carol and Bernice. Today, the worlds of the soaps and entertainment influence choice. Is the answer just stupidity? I also noted a few boys’ names: Trey, Easton, Brantlyn, Laike and Kaden. CASE CLOSED. Reality pains me.
