Talisman T. Hawkins
Tarot Peterson

I've also recently come across kids named:

Clover
Star
Mystic
Trinity
Penny
Amulet

And just in case you ever wondered how they could keep making Friday the 13th movies... the real Jason Voorhees lives the states of CA, KS, NC, PA, WV, FL, KY and OH

WNTNYB- Valentine's Day Edition

I decided to do this a bit early because tomorrow I am doing a post in honor of Friday the 13th


Today's feature presentation... people who have the misfortune of having not only been shot in the behind by an angry winged midget, but to have live with probably being teased every year about this time. Here's a Valentine for them*

*note names with first/last combinations were found via anncestry.com

Valentine Love
Valentine Day
Valentine Card
Cupid Hartman
Cupid Hunter
Cupid Kick
Cupid Summons
Heart H. Flower
Diamond Ring

and others I have come across since I started this project:

February
Candy
Lovejoat
Blue Moon
Casanova
La'Pleasure
Mi'Amour
RoweMance
Passion
Diamyn
Diamond (too many to count)
Flower
Aphrodite
Romeo

and my favorite... I once worked as a pre-school teacher. In one of my classes I had a really cute little girl who's name was:

Mylove

Spel Chek

For those of you who have been following this blog for awhile, you might notice that one of the things that drives me absolutely nuts is when mommees tri to git cutsiey and kreeativ with the name spellings. And then have the nerve to get mad and offended when someone butchers their child's name or misspells it.

For example. Today's list of Huked on Fonix offenders:

Lanykston
Hadliegh
Prencetin
CaiLlyn
Y'Marrie (I will bet $ this is either pronounced like Emory or ee-MAUR-ee)
KimberLee
Aksel
Me'arah
Uhllanna (this is either 'Alana' or 'Ayanna' depending on how you pronounce the double L)
d'Metrique (who are his siblings? d'Miles, d'Kilometers??)
Jaxxsen

smh. shrugs. goes back to reading Webster's dictionary. knows why we are falling behind other countries in education---we can't even spell our OWN names. sigh.
