Why are Euro-Americans giving their children these weird names? I don't feel it is even something that Europeans do.
Last name for a first name. McKenzie Blorp from Genocide Falls, West Dakohio.
Anderson Cooper is patient zero
My large son is also called McKenzie Blorp!
A combo of: You want your kid to have a unique name because it felt weird and alienating as a kid to be one of the six Jessicas or ten Kyles in the same classroom. They also need to have a name that has meaning to you, because they are an extension of your existence. You don't know many other names, and you don't want to give them one that sounds old like Mildred, or ones that are easily mocked in the ways you remember from childhood. Finally, your partner hates every name idea you come up with so you mash your favourite with their favourite and end up with a kid named 'Fayelynn' which sounds like 'Failing' because you liked the name Faye but they liked the name Lynn.
