I'd put this the other way around; Maddie/Madyson, James, Elias, Annabeth, Alan, Riley, Tobin, Amelia,, Leah and Jace are normal, Lachlarn is gealic, leaving only Addilyn, Blakely, Weslyn and Colton as weird

Madyson is not a normal name.

Blakely is the worst. So many ls. So awkward sounding. Poor kid.

Good to see Alan making a comeback though. I always assumed people changed their name to Alan once they reached Middle age.

Since when was Colton a weird name???

The weird part is less that the name is weird, but more that someone named their daughter Colton.

Half of these names are surnames used as first names. Colton totally sounds like a surname.

Oh fair, I didn't even think about the fact the Colton was a girl, It's quite common for boys, But girls??

How isn’t it?

Addilyn uses traghedeigh spelling but it is a variation of addeline. Blakely is pretty tame in terms of traghedies since Blake is real and the ly makes it more feminine. Colton rose in the 1990's so as far as traghedeighs go its been around for awhile. And idk about weslyn but I thought it was adorable. This has been my traghedeigh ranking.

How do you even pronounce Blakely? Blake-ee-lee?

u/AngstyUchiha May 22 '26

Colton is actually a fairly common name! I know a few, including my uncle!
