I don't know what these kids' parents were thinking when they picked these names, forever scarring their offspring.
For one thing, why must parents always have to try to be clever and come up with alternate spellings of common names? I'm still waiting for someone to name their kid "Dhey'vidd". I think parents get a discount if they use an extra 'h', 'y', or apostrophe or change an 's' to a 'z' or a 'c' to a 'k'.
And then there's those names where you can't tell if the kid is a girl or a boy. Think Mike Myers as "Pat" from the old Saturday Night Live.
Of course there's those parents who force their daughters into a lifetime of exotic dancing.
This list was pulled from the Beautiful Babies website on Fox 59:

Hayden (‘den’ #2)
Caiden (‘den’ #3)
Braden (‘den’ #4
Jayden (‘den’ #5)
Jaden (does this count as ‘den’ #6 or is this just an alternate spelling of ‘Jayden’?)
