This week’s Bad Baby Names is sadly, the penultimate. I will only get one more chance to do this, as I am moving back to Canada shortly and, alas, I have never seen a listing of babies born in Vancouver in any of the newspapers. The wonderful people of Hilo must know I’m leaving, as they gave me a gift of some really Bad Baby Names!
Trezden was the first. Okay, not entirely bad. Better than Haleyrose. Which is worse than Kyla-Nova, whose parents could at least figure out how to use a hyphen.
I think Matline is how illiterate people spell Madeline. If I ran into this unfortunate girl I’d call her Mat Line.
Zoee’s parents couldn’t keep their hands off the e. I thought Zoe was pronounced “Zo-ee” already. Maybe you’re supposed to stretch out Zoee’s name: Zo-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee!
Kaysian is unfortunate.
Mandymarie’s parents need to take a lesson from Kyla-Nova’s parents.
Of course, this week’s big loser is Prayze, which really makes me do this:

My sons name is the Trezden you are refering to. Seems to me you don’t have much respect or aloha. No wonder the island is giving you the boot. I hope you can find something more productive to do back where you belong. I’m sure Hawaii won’t miss you.

You named your son Trezden? Really? No, REALLY?
Geez, I remember when in the spirit of aloha, the Hawaiians put much thought into the meaning of the names they gave their children, a special name with special wishes for the life of their baby.
Nowdays, they just pull whatever name off the label of liquor they are drinking (True story, I heard a woman call her to her daughter “Alize, come here!” in KTA) or some arbitrary syllable paired with either -den, -zen or -sen.
