I like weird names.

And not weird names like Xavier or Frances or Archibald.

Weird names like Storm, Baelfire, Benedict, Zeus, Canyon, Kayin, Frederick, Zane…the list goes on. And that’s just boys. For girls I like Jezebel, Saphira, and Delilah. No kidding, there are very few other Biblical girl names that I like. Why do the bad girl names have to be so awesome? I mean, Jezzie and Lilah would be SUCH adorable nicknames. Sadly none of the names mentioned are socially acceptable for dubbing your kids with. Except in England I could name my kid Benedict and probably be okay. Because England is AWESOME.

Anyway.

My parents make fun of me all the time, saying stuff like “Someday we’re going to get Dirt a bunch of loud toys.” And I’ll be like “Dirt what the heck?” And they’re like “Yeah isn’t that one of the names you had for your kids? Dirt or Asphalt or something?” And then I just roll my eyes. I used to argue it but now it’s just like “whatevs”.

My parent’s don’t understand me.  WOW never heard that one from a teenager before HAVE YOU?

No they’re right. The names I like are really weird.

Like Xena. Xena is such a cool name.

And Athena. GOSH why do all the Greek gods have to have such cool names? Poseidon, Apollo, Zeus? COOL.

I know I’m sorry. I should probably stick to names like Michael and Sara and Matthew. You know, normal names. But I can’t help it — being abnormal myself, I just like abnormal names. My poor future children.

And just so I don’t get yelled at for not writing enough about X, here’s a Xylophone for good measure.
