There are a lot of Asian (esp Korean) girls with names like these because they're all crazy fundies or recruited by some when they come to the US.

One of my old coworkers didn't even bother doing that and just named her kid Heaven. I also knew some twins named Princess and Precious.

No lie, I personally know three kids between the ages of 3-8 with that exact spelling. And every parent thought it was the most original thing ever.

This year I have students with fairly common names, but there is a Maverick (which is p cool) and a few of the Aiden, Raiden, Gayden variants. If your mom named you from reading mommy blogs or Pinterest, please change your name legally at 18.

Last year was the worst. Had a "Sailor Moon Last name" and a bunch of girls with made-up names ending in "-eah".

It's just the Irish version of Joan/Joanne though.

Stick to a language you know when picking a name, so you don't end up saying it like a retard who just saw something that they thought looked unique.

e: at least it actually is a name.
