What is a name?

OMG. My townspeople are at it again.

Recent boys names of note:
Kipten
Breckin
Tarrick
Styles
Trayzen

And girls? Less is more? Seriously.
Aleeonna
Bexley
Skadi'Jun

Please note that according to my self imposed standards, I never make fun of children of single moms or children of couples with obviously very unusual or ethnic names themselves. For instance, I will give a complete pass to the child named "Yum" (yes, really) because the parents have very unusual Asian names and I suspect this might be a perfectly respectable first name given their evident non-caucasian ethnic heritage. However, if you name an innocent baby girl Skadi'Jun and you are named something to the effect of Bob and Susan, I feel totally justified.
