It is so so serious! My friend is having such a hard time because she seriously wants a name no one has ever heard before she made up Brynalee and Mahahlia is actually a name (I have met 2) and Declyn was 10 years ago and she spelt it differently.

Araluan is on her list for a girl i think.


She was also thinking indian sounding names, similar to Sanvi.

so yes for real and yes she needs help!
I don't think she can claim Brynalee - I've heard other girls with that name or very similar! I am confused as to why you need to have a name that no one else has ever had (that's got to be niegh on impossible) - but each to their own I guess. She'd do well to just chuck a pile of letters in a hat and draw some out and see what she gets.

I so still think a child with a made up name will go through life being constantly frustrated by having pronounce and and spell it to everyone. I have a 'normal' name and people still can't spell it and it drives me crazy!
