    Well, Olivia and Chloe are kind of obvious. I have no idea what the others are.

    I’m going to go with: Olivia, Elena, Melanie(dark-skinned=melanin=melanie), Chloe, and Taryn.

    Ooh, Taryn is a good guess—I had no clue what the parents were going for. The other tough one is Aleena, which is presumably a variation of Elena (or Helen or whatever), except that Helen is entirely unrelated to rocks.

    By the way, see more fun baby names.

    Tearanie. Origin: unknown!

    Tearanie
    Origin: ???????English.??????
    Original meaning: ???????A government in which a single ruler is vested with absolute power.??????
    Original spelling: Tyranny

    It seems like a fucked up thing to name a kid, but hey, what do I know?

    Myca, that’s what we assumed, but I hope people aren’t naming kids Tyranny! I guess I wouldn’t be too surprised.

    And for anyone keeping score at home, we were definitely just heartlessly mocking bizarre name choices. There are no plans in the works for any tiny pirates.
