You made me laugh out loud. I don't care for the name at all. I don't understand why parents have to go with trendy or unusual names that their poor children are going to be saddled with for years.

Yes, the Tammys I've known in real life were Tamaras.

It's not a real name. Why burden the child with such an impediment?

Only if you want your child to hate you for the rest of her life. Why do people cripple their children in life with names like this?

Just go to the Scrabble box and randomly pick out letters. Stop when you have enough.

Honestly, I don't like it. Think about the poor girl when she grows up and will be teased by her friends. I mean, I don't know why celebrities and people in general would come up with very strange names for their kids. Gwyneth Paltrow.... apple? Kardashian north west? and the list could go on and on...
In your case, not knowing anything about the show or whatever my first thought was that you must have used some random name generator software...

I also heard the story about a lady who gave birth to twin boys. In lack of names she called them Boy A and Boy B. this was written in their birth certificate Boya and Boyb!

If you lack inspiration even naming your daughter Girla is better than Oblina!

For the exception of the name being associated with that cartoon character, I dont see how it is that bizarre.

The name kinda reminds me of a pretty Russian or Polish girl with blonde hair
