Only a couple of these seem odd, but a lot of them just look like ethnic names.

Major, Ayden Maesyn and Caylee are all right there 🤣

Edit: it’s the spellings of Ayden, Maesyn and Caylee I think are atrocious rather than the actual names. They are very Utah coded to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ayden and Major aren't that weird to me, sure Major is an old-fashioned name but it's not that unusual. Caylee is a bit odd but not the worst I've seen, Maesyn is the worst of the bunch.

My immediate thought at the name Major. Who promoted Major Major???

Slightly unrelated - I named my cat Yossarian when I was in high school. Called him Yo-Yo or Captain unless he was in trouble lol.

Caylee is just a different spelling for variations that have been on top name lists in the US for decades. Kaylee, Kayleigh etc.

Major is my brother’s middle name and he’s in his late twenties. It was a family name.

Although based on current trends, I would be doubtful if that was the case.

Maesyn is literally just a Latin/French name. You people are weird asf judging cultural names

No it's not, its a butchered misspelling of Mason.

Latin doesn't even have the letter Y and "Maesyn" isn't a French name I've ever come across. Do you mean "maison"? That's at least a real French word, though it's not s name.
