Exactly how did that body part get the name Johnson, or "Dick" for that matter. Or Willie.

The mother is a complete idiot... and from her picture, looks like a crazy person... who couldn't pick a real name for her baby. Like she didn't take her job as an expectant mother seriously. After all, she had MONTHS to choose a name for her child.

All told, at least a dozen countries, including Germany, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Morocco, Japan and Malaysia, have baby naming laws.
The airline person making fun of the name is only a natural reaction and it won't be the last time that "name" is made fun of.

The SW employee is only guilty of inappropriately posting a picture of the ticket on the internet... and that mistake gets made by thousands of other people daily.

You do realize there are thousands of slang names for the private bits and every sexual act imaginable? I'd wager that most have origins completely lost to linguistic history except for vague alliteration.

"Johnson" is an extension - no, not that kind - from all the formal "John" names given Mr. Happy. The lineage goes back quite a ways. it appears to have gained popularity because it works better as a last name.

I would make fun of her name too. It is stupid and the mother must be an absolute idiot. I hate to break it to her but her supposed "pronunciation" is incorrect and does not make sense. Just because you are a dumbass and give your kid a dumbass name and state that a group of letters is pronounced some particular way does not make it correct. There are no vowels to lead one to believe it is pronounced as the mother claims. The way that is pronounced is a, b, c, d, e.....exactly like it appears. Hopefully the little girl isn't a moron like her mother and will change her name to a more correct spelling or just change it to something not as stupid in general.

Congratulations. That parent just made sure that kid will never succeed in life.

These parents don't realize how much they are handicapping their children by giving them these ridiculous, made-up names... They must truly be stupid people.
