Frankly, this list isn't nearly as out-there as I originally thought it would be.

Sure, there's Eyelet...and I'm not familiar with Dries, but I expected less Jack, Ruby, and Daisy, and more Quinoa and Denim...stuff like that.

there were very white names in there (as in, danish/dutch/swedish/finish/belgian/swiss) -- dries, stellan, bryn, farron.

you know -- YOU KNOW -- that those idiots who name their kid "isla" pronounce it like "ISS-la."

My FI's niece is named Kaydance. The k and the y... I can't handle it.
However, his family likes hipster names. They suggested Jadison (a combination of our names) if we ever have a daughter.
My SIL (not the niece's mother, ftr) has Dejah Thoris as one of her middle names, along with Lapis Lazuli, and Beautiful (there are more, but they are fairy normal). But I take no issues with these because they are middle names. And frankly, her full name is fun to say and honesty rolls off the tongue quite well.

How do you say Dejah?

So, is Kaydance, Cadence?

RoseofOrion · October 2013

It's pronounced similar to deja vu
Dejah Thoris is a literary character in the 1917 scifi novel A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs (Disney did a film adaptation called John Carter). FIL is a huge scifi fan, and loved this novel, so it became one of SIL's middle names.

And yes, Kaydance is Cadence.

Dejah Thoris is from Princess of Mars. So it's rather like the Anakin (first name) who pops up on my newfeed

My imaginary daughter Fallon might have the middle name Khaleesi.

VarunaTT · October 2013

I kind of like Dejah. It's different w/o being youneek. I was hoping it'd be pronounced the way you said.

OH! I have a name thing: DH's middle name was supposed to be Skywalker. The nurse told his mother no, so it's Luke instead.

My dad's mom was a huge Dale Evans fan - from that show with the horse, Trigger? What was that show? Anyway, my dad's a twin, and his brother is Dale, but luckily he got Evan as a middle name.

I was wondering if "Bacon" would show up on the list (not Bacon, but you know, her real, old grandma name) and was so glad it didn't. Actual unique kids FTW!

Roy Rogers? Dale Evans was his wife.

Yes! Thank you. That was going to bug me all day.
