Hee! Names drive me nuts, too. Back in the 80s in romance, the trend was giving heroines masculine names. Now it's odd spellings, particularly Y's. I can't wait to see what's next.
There's a book I read a while back (I can't remember it, but I know a few people who could--I ranted about it a LOT) that had a heroine whose name was pronounce completely differently from how it was spelled. And it wasn't a Celtic name, either. Maybe that sort of thing will be the next trend.
