Today we have the standard bumper crop of bad names like Jaylynn, Jadelynn, Kaylie, and Kayleah, so I won’t mention them.

But today we also give two awards to Excellence In Initialization to Repme K (who’s a girl) and Haylie Z.L. (who’s also a girl). Now, I don’t know if this is a typo or not (but given the excellent editorial qualities of the Hawaii Tribune-Herald, I’d be surprised if it weren’t), but Repme K doesn’t have a period after her K, so I’m forced to assume that that’s her full middle name. Repme isn’t exactly a humdinger of a name either.

The Double-Barrelled Award-Award goes to Dhelanie-Psalms. If only her middle name were something like “23″, then she could star at religious services everywhere.

But the best bad baby name for this week is Skailey. It looks nice on paper, but if you say it you’ll find they’ve named their little girl Scaly! Oh poor poor girl. Or lizard. Or snake. Her name comes in with a built-in insulting nickname! Kids won’t have to come up with witty names (like “Brad Brad The Maxipad” — that was what a brother of a friend used to call me), all they have to do is call her by her proper name.

For all I know her mom had an affair with Godzilla and this is her dad’s method of revenge.

I look forward to Whaurtey, Ugleigh, and Pharteigh appearing in next week’s list.
