Why are there so many people with oddly spelled names on this show?


Leuh, Candic, Many, Brendan, Alyx, Marq, Jeszica, Antwane, Cameryn, Kiersten, Jamey, Andria, Bryon.

What's up with that? It's weird.

Brendan isn't misspelled, it's just a name. The rest are odd and it seems to be a trend with my generation to take your name and spell it differently in an effort to show just how different you are. Your parents named you Joe but you spell it "Gio" (true story with a kid I know) or maybe Sharon becomes Cherine. It looks like it's part of the special snowflake syndrome that's going around right now.

Gio can be short for Giuseppe or Giovanni if the kid's parents are Italian. But yeah there are too many people with weird names. I know a girl whose niece is named Addison but spelled Addyssyn...like how embarrassing
