All I know is I enjoyed my time working for Delta. However I am so glad my working years are over, and I don't have to deal with this baloney. The airlines are constantly being faulted for everything on earth now days.

I blame this mother for this foolishness. Naming a child such a ridiculous name. That kid is going to constantly deal with this. If it were my name. The first thing I would no is change it, as soon as as I
was legally able to do so.

The SW Agent was wrong to post the boarding pass. I seriously doubt the agent was making fun of the child. The name I don't know how anyone would not comment on it
Like how is it pronounced. Or do I have to recite a portion of the alphabet when speaking the name.

Either or that foolish mother was looking to grab attention, when she named her kid.

That was a collision of fools--the mother and the agent. Thanks to the mom, it's only one of many Abcde will witness in the future.

Poor kid.

agree.... it was wrong for the agent to post to Social media. You are just inviting conflict. But seriously though that kid will have a lot to deal with growing up because the name she was given.

They should do their own research.

Posting the boarding pass was stupid.
I do wonder why the mom stopped at E, why not Abcdefghi to really make a statement! Or did she think that would be too hard to spell?

Yes and no. Demanding a cite for something obvious or that can be taken at face value in the context of the discussion is laziness or an irritating deflection of the topic.

However, anyone making an unusual or questionable claim can rightly be asked for substantiation. You want to claim there are green cows, you'd better have a cite on hand, like a link to a photo.

In the skeptic world, it's a maxim that extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof... meaning you need more than a purported photo of Nessie, Obama meeting aliens or Bigfoot.

Terdell... that's a good name.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terdell_Middleton

Asswipe is another good name. Pronounced azz-WEEP-ay.

Wxyz would've been much more fun than Abcde.

+1.

I wonder what other moronic decisions this mother makes...

That kid is changing her name upon adulthood.
