Oddly named teens I've come across

I work with children between 12 and 17- here are some of the names I’ve come across in paperwork and face to face:

Fatai
Nikeria
Azell
Kavallow
Mykira
Henrry
[name_m]Reginald[/name_m]
Antez
[name_f]Zhane[/name_f]
Shakelia
Nyy’a
Hydia
Jarok
[name_m]Hamp[/name_m]
Niaya
Crown
Wilvonte
Kadarion
[name_f]Diamonte[/name_f]
[name_m]Luciano[/name_m]
Zikiah
[name_f]Lottie[/name_f]
Kabaris
Synovia
Zotoria
Falicity [name_f]Bayleigh[/name_f]
[name_f]Sandria[/name_f]
Kilo
Carika
Kahmeel
Chrystacia

Nyy’a would be so much prettier spelled [name_f]Nya[/name_f] or [name_f]Niah[/name_f], in my opinion. Synovia could be a possibly pretty middle name, though I don’t think I would even consider using these names.

There’s a few on here I really like.

[name_m]Reginald[/name_m] – how cool is the nn [name_u]Reggie[/name_u]? A guy named [name_m]Reginald[/name_m] was my cashier at [name_m]McDonald[/name_m]'s yesterday.
[name_m]Luciano[/name_m] – So hot but soft and sweet
Synovia – Sinovia would be very pretty
Zotoria – I love this sound

@[name_u]Ash[/name_u]- I love [name_m]Reginald[/name_m] and [name_m]Luciano[/name_m]! [name_m]Luciano[/name_m] Pavarotti… :slight_smile:

I quite like [name_f]Zakia[/name_f]/[name_f]Zakiyya[/name_f]. If they really want the short z’-kee-ah sound, I can sorta see why they’d do this. Instead of having people make the first syllable sound like [name_m]Zack[/name_m].

These are astonishingly similar to some of the names at my school. I know a
Raineisha
Kyozhane
[name_m]Prince[/name_m]
[name_m]Donell[/name_m]
Hawky
Keenyn
Olliecia
Te’[name_f]Kayla[/name_f]
Rossey
[name_m]Lynzie[/name_m]
Antaevious
Shyterria

Of course, there are also the usual names from the late nineties. I know about eight [name_m]Matthews[/name_m] and Christophers and a half dozen Emmas/Emilys and Ashleys.
