i taught swim lessons and preschool, do y’all wanna hear the most ridiculous white kid names i’ve ever seen?

• i’ve met at least a dozen children named some form of “jackson” but the best ones were “jaxon” and “jakson” 
• a parent who i really liked named her son “jaycob” because she was worried people wouldn’t pronounce it correctly. when someone accidentally spelled it “jacob” she would loudly and obnoxiously ask “WHO’S JAH-KOBE?” 
• two siblings named “thor” and “tiara”
• i once had a classroom with four girls named “brooklyn”
• if you sent me a list of popular boy names, i could guarantee i’ve met every single one of them
• twin girls named paisley and brinley
• a girl named reader
• a boy named rocko
• keighleey
• kayde
• kolten
• if it can start with a “k” instead of a “c” i have met that child
• brittalynn 
• i taught a swim class with three girls named “london” but only one of them was spelled “lundon” and i know my boss did that to me on purpose
• a couple named all their kids after places in arizona: tatum, payson, and hayden
• and speaking of hayden, i’ve seen: haydon, heighden, and heydon 
• according to some white people, there are sixteen different ways to spell mckenzie
• lakelyn, blakelynn 

this is white culture

I had a student named Branch.

I once had pair of siblings named Hunter and Tanner. I really wanted them to have a sister named Fawn.

I had a Clark and Ophelia that were a bit unusual in the naming department.

And I had every single imaginable version of a girl’s name staring with “Mad-“ and every single imaginable version of a boy’s name ending in “-aden”

Mom’s a teacher. So far her best/worst white kid names:

• “Damion with a Y” according to the parent. Daymion? Damyon? Nope. Damiony. The Y is silent, said parent
• A girl named Free. Maybe not that bad on its own, but the girl’s last name was Love
• A boy named Calup because his mom couldn’t spell Caleb

the y is silenty

saw a white lady who had a poodle named Leigheaux (Leo…)

Had two sibling boys come into work the eldest called Forest and his younger brother was Tree.
