Challenge the Belated Third

Ahem. Sorry this is a bit late...the whole moving to Salt Lake thing, the going to DC thing, and the Christmas thing sort of slowed me down. Nevertheless...here you go...

The root of this challenge lies in the spelling of my nieces friends' name: Tailyr (pronounced Taylor). Every time I see her name in print I feel the small Tailyr knot in my stomach seize and get a little bit bigger...why spell it that way? This, of course, leads me to my next name-themed question: why name the child that at all? in reference to such stories as this or this. Granted, many of these are proven to be urban legends, but that still leaves us with the weird naming trends common these days. My new landlords name is Bliss. Among mine and my sisters' acquaintance alone there are children named Brynleigh, Boston, Lero, Kamlee, Kyson, Kamlyn, Tamlyn, Sway, Krew, Dansko, Honey, Hazen, and Ela. I have a family of distant cousins whose names are Angel, Bliss, Cupid and Dolly. My sister went to high school with a girl whose first name started with the letter of the word "heaven" that corresponded to her place within her family's line up of six kids. I'm not sure if that made grammatic sense. But you get the idea.

And so, I hereby issue the third challenge. The parameters are the same as the first two, but in addition to picking the next challenge, the winner will be awarded an additional prize, the likes of which have never before been seen throughout all the history of Aed the Whelpe. You have until Saturday, 17 January, at 10 pm.
