baby names

There's something seriously awry a work here. Babies are popping up everywhere in my family, and don't get me wrong, i like babies but the names given to them by their parents....that's another story. Just to humour myself i'll list the ugly names that run in my family: (i've removed the last names just in case should any of my cousins decide to google their child's awkward name, they wont come across this little "odd name" compilation. Keep in mind that all these kids have Chinese last names, with the exeption of Bibi):

- Latisha (HELLO????? Might as well be Shaniqua. . .)
- Tobias (pronounced "TobEE - us")
- Tyrone (what up dogg...)
- Akemi (cute, but neither of your parents are of Japanese descent)
- Joycelynn (adding a letter doesnt a christian name make)
- Bibi (someones been watching too much KILL BILL)
- Jenica (at least it's not "princess" like i originally thought it was...)

I could have sworn there were more, and they're not as heinous as i once thought...i think i'm getting soft...not a good trait. But still, they're QUITE unusual and i definitely wont go to my cousins for baby name advice.
