I see Marie in there, the council multiplier for any girls name.
You don't need to be as specific as Marie. The presence of the hyphen is enough.

Honourable mention here to Le-a. Pronounced, with gloomy inevitability, Ledasha.
Slightly off topic, but that reminds me...

Talking to someone, as we drove along, about her holiday in France...

We hired a French car

Oh, what was it?

I don't know the make, but it was a [French accent]Sonnn-eece[/French accent]

A what?

A Sonnn-eece

Oh, I've never heard of that...

A few miles further on, we stopped at a red light and she pointed to the car in front...

It was one of those, see? A Sonnn-eece

In front of us sat a.......... Renault Scenic.

If the parents wanted the child's name to start with 'B'.
B-a = 'Bedasha'.

Or the '- dash' could also be read as a '- minus'.
B-a = 'B minus A'

Spent a day on the beach a few years back, a nearby family had a preschool son called "Bubbles". You could hear the eyes rolling all around.

Are you sure that was his name & not just a family nickname?

Maybe he was a chimp ?

Coudl be a nickname as kids that name always have snot bubbles, my brother in law at that age would only eat chips, and snot so became known as chipsnot, other brother in law was chubby and had small man breasts, so got called "Gettis", as they used to "Get His Tits" apparently

Beyonce has called one of her kids Sir Carter. I think this is a stupidly pretentious name.

I thought the same when Kim and Kanye named their child Saint; Saint North so up themselves.
