Yeah but it’s also the parents responsibility to give their child a non stupid name that won’t get them ridiculed their whole life.

Parents being quirky with names is how you end up with kids getting bullied forever.

Edit: Glad to see all the people who weren’t bullied downvoting this. My name isn’t even that weird and I still get made fun of for it. Don’t give your kids stupid names.

This is the same argument used in the UK to justify school uniforms. That kids would get bullied over their clothes, so let’s just make everyone wear the same thing. I’m wondering how you feel about that

Kids will make fun of any name. My name is common in the area of the world I am from, and they bullied me with my name.

Fuck off with this shit that the name is the problem, kids probably just decided to bully because they are terrible little shits whise parents either don’t care, or encourage them.

My point is kids are going to be shitheads regardless. Why would you give them a perfect target?

If your kid is a shithead, there is only one place to place the blame, and its not the kid.

Agreed on all fronts. Don’t be a cruel parent and give your kid a fucked up name. If you can’t find it on the keychain turnstile in a truck stop, your “cute” name for a kid is causing more trouble than it’s worth.

I have a misspelled common name (and it’s a common misspelling) and every call for every account in my whole life is a PITA.

You aren’t clever or cute, don’t fuck up your kid’s name. Color your hair blue and you be unique, leave your poor child alone, dipshit.

I mean I don’t even have that odd of a name but even in adulthood it’s made fun of occasionally.

I can only imagine someone named after some fantasy story.

Hey, maybe realise by your experience that it isn’t the name but shitty people.
