To contact us Click HERE
I've got a confession to make. Theres a huge part of me that loves girls names, more than boys! So it's taken me awhile to get onto task to do the boys awards after doing the girls (which took a long time to do, i'll tell you!)

So, i'd like to welcome you to:

The Mini Terrible Boys Names awards 2006

:)

First category:
Random Y's
Random Y's are when the letter "y" is randomly inserted in place of another vowel. This is very popular in the realm of of girls names. But this also happens in boys names, too.
which is a little strange because it makes the name look a lot more feminine!
Offenders are:
Aidyn
Landyn
Camryn
Gavyn
Jordyn
Austyn
Trystan
Devyn

Winner: Gavyn

Second category: Weird incomprehensible spellings:
Some people just like to completely confuse (and really freak me out) with the way they insist on spelling a name!
Offenders are:
Rayan (supposed to be Ryan)
Brayan (Brayan)
Izayah (Isaiah)
Nathanael (Nathaniel)
Ean (Ian)

Winner: Izayah

Third category: Trying to make it 'unique'.
This is similar to the second category, although the names are often still recognizable, but just strangely spelled, often to try and achieve uniqueness.
Offenders are:
Konner
Alijah
Issac
Karter
Koen

Winner: Koen

Forth category: Random syllable onto an already perfectly fine name
Guys, the names Shawn, Marcus and Angelo are a nice names. They don't need anything added onto the front. Still, many insist on doing it:
Deshawn
Dashawn
Deangelo
Demarcus
Tyshawn
Jamarcus

Winner: Demarcus

Fifth category: Bad names
Names which are just stupid.
Offenders are:
Amari/ Jamari/ Kamari (kind of pretty names, but for a boy??)
Noe (pronounced: No-ee. It sounds like what a Mom says to their little child, "Noey, Thomas, don't touch that, Noeys"
Willie. (Oh, god...)
Sincere. (What's he going to be called for short? Sin?)
Hamza. (Not only a weird name, Nickname? Ham? It means "foul smell". Hm..)
Prince (speaks for itself)
Stone
Winner: Hamza
