So I recently went to a debutante ball and they always have these thick programs filled with ads and letters from family and stuff. I went through and chose my favorites and least favorites of them.
Favorites: [name_f]Raquel[/name_f], [name_f]Karyn[/name_f], [name_f]Asante[/name_f] (with an accent pointing right on top of the e), [name_m]Malachi[/name_m], [name_u]Asa[/name_u], [name_u]Ara[/name_u], [name_f]Lyndell[/name_f], Kevindene, [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], [name_u]Orion[/name_u], D’[name_m]Errico[/name_m], [name_f]Nonie[/name_f], [name_f]Starr[/name_f], [name_f]Aniya[/name_f], Martise, [name_f]Kiersten[/name_f], [name_f]Kylie[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_m]Marquez[/name_m], Jermichael, [name_m]Reginald[/name_m], Rodock, [name_f]Zee[/name_f], AuJordan, [name_m]Alan[/name_m], [name_f]Ann[/name_f] [name_u]Pepper[/name_u], Onzlow, [name_m]Ricardo[/name_m], [name_f]Louise[/name_f], Pavalon, [name_m]Felix[/name_m], Carnetta, Mayfield, [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], Xiaomin, Veradi, [name_m]Edgar[/name_m], [name_u]Ari[/name_u], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f], and [name_f]Tara[/name_f].

Then I kept on thinking about how many of these names could be tweaked to be better (at least in my opinion) and I came up with these names: Chandois -> Candois, [name_u]Darrin[/name_u] -> Darisa, Deloyce -> D’[name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Machaela[/name_f] -> Makilah, [name_f]Mildred[/name_f] -> Mildrina, LaDonnys -> Ladonis, and [name_m]Derek[/name_m] -> Derennika.
I know that my taste is very unusual, especially because I look at names with possible book characters in mind, not real babies. I also want to know, what do you guys think of these names?
