re: Baby names: where's the line between creative and obnoxious?

A lot of what we consider traditional names are phonetically correct but misspelled names, since they derive from names originally spelled in Hebrew. John, Mary, and Susan are some examples. Do you mock people who give their children those names instead of Johanon, Maryam (or is it Mariam or Miriam, hard to tell because Hebrew was written without vowels) or Susannah? Our so called traditional names are a product of the creative process that you don't like. I doubt more than five people (and I'm bring generous) on the OT have a name that existed in its current spelling 1000 years ago.

If you can't tell the difference between John or Susan and Brynlee or Kadence, then sorry you named your kid a trashy name.
