Thread Name: BS: US personal names
Subject: RE: BS: US personal names
These strange personal names are not the preserve of America, although they certainly originated there . It's spreading. Last week a report in a local Irish paper referred to a young baby girl whose name was Leteisha !
       A friend of mine reckons that this trend , for weird names are becoming common here, is a single young mother thing that comes from watching too much daytime television shows such as Ricky Lake , Queen Letifah etc,. Both of these and others of that type , air over here in the afternoons.
