Setting yourself up for failure

[Combining the parents' names into one uber-name seldom works out well for anybody. Witness the dilemma of a mommy who can't spell:]

{{HELP!}} i need a boy name and a girl name but my name and my bfs name have to be mixed in somehow.?

ok so we decided that we wanted our names in our babys name..

my name is Shade--no not like the shade u get under a tree or something its spelled Shade but pernonse like the singer Sade'

his name is steven so how do we mix a really nice boy and girl name with ours any suggestions?? HELLLLLLPPPPP PLLZZZZZ!!!

[First, let me just say this: pernonse. Wow.]

[And now, please enjoy the suggestions of the ever-helpful Yahoo Answers Baby Names community:]

Stacy. [I lol'd]

Shaven? Vensha? Heaven?

Stanley, with a C. [this would get my vote for best answer if I hadn't been banned from YA long ago.]

thats hard mama how bot Shaden Steden?

Shaden
Staven
Neveah (heaven backwards but has all the letter from both your names (girl)) [except the S.]
Saven

Sven
Shane
Aden

Aven
Shannen
Sadie

Saden
Stevanya
Sadenya
Stevina

shaven - girl
stehad - boy

(im trying this is hard lol but not impossible)
-saiden
-sandee
-evan
-shane
-shanice
-steph
-shaden (you do pronounce the sh)
-thadee (im guessing this can be like katie but with a th)
-seth

[Mommy Shade should know better than most what a bad idea it is to give her child a goofy-ass name that he or she will have to constantly tell people how to spell and pronounce for the REST OF HIS LIFE.]

  1. Don't you mean, "how to spell and pernonse" for the rest of his life? ;)

  2. I really hope they go with "Shaven". Look, there were even multiple people who suggested it! Great minds think alike, amirite?

  3. No one even noticed that they spelled Nevaeh incorrectly? The way the commenter spelled it would be "haeven" if flipped around...not "heaven".

    *facepalm*
