Jaebriya say what?

As the mother of a Xander, a Hylan, and a Declan, I get my fair share of, "What was that name again?" "How do you spell that?" and "Did you make that up?" I, of course, did not make up any of their names. Xander is short for Alexander. We found Hylan on a headstone in a family cemetery, and Declan we got from the movie, Leap Year. So there you have it. My children's names are pretty normal, even spelled normally. These next ones...not so much.

Shandarrian
Phylishia (made funnier bc her middle name is Lesha; go ahead, say it together.)
Markeicia
Demond (yet another variant of demon or devil; parents, you're just sealing your child's behavior fate when you give 'em a name like that)
Shaquerrioma
LaTavia
Tykeiaria
Kizavian
Johnique (similar to one of my personal faves, Uniqua)
Kentravis
Lazariah (if you want to give your children a name from the Bible, just do it straight folks)
Lamarquice
Teshuihna (I'll give you a dollar if you can pronounce this one and have the child say you're right.)
Rakegyn
Roquesia
Dajai (middle name Jai, uh-huh)
Pren'Dejia

There you have it, my annual name list, but I have one last one to add. While I was in the hospital I was discussing names with a nurse when she gave me these two. There were two cousins born close together. The first was named Tequilla which is pretty common. I even went to high school with one, but can you guess what the next baby was named? Margarita? No, too easy. Champagne? uh-uh. They named that poor little baby TeVodka.
