Fantastic first names #1

Now, New Zealand has it's fair share of odd/weird/crap first names... I remember having to take a phonecall at work from a girl named Dominique Rogue Kneebone... she had changed it from Megan Smith, or something... Some of my students have some pretty strange names, however, most of which have been completely made up. Here are a few:
  • Lady, Leidy, Leidi, Laydi, Leydee, Layday: This is quite a common name for girls born in either in 1981 (When Prince Charles and Diana Spencer married) or in 1997 (When she died). Often the poor girl is given a second name of Diana, Dayana, Dianna or Daiyanna.
  • Fahri
  • Yullieth, Julieth
  • Shasdy
  • Steev
  • Jhon, Jhonathan, Jhonatan
  • Yira
  • Yitka
  • Enyi
Smegged off? I bet they are!
