I was teased all my life over my name and it isnt even weird the abcde. Boohoo.
speaking of abcde. I know a couple who named their sons A, B, C and D, respectively. That was roughly 60-65 years ago.

The little girl asked her mom why someone was making fun of her name. Wait til the kid is old enough to know that her mom is an idiot.

I wonder what her middle name is...

Many service people these days believe they can get away with anything. And they often do. While complaining about how they aren't earning $15 an hour and deserve tons more money for the piddly jobs they do.

When I was working in a hospital in Detroit, there was a woman who insisted that she name her daughter "Placenta." her OB/GYN and maternity nurses tried to convince her that maybe there would be better names for her baby.

You're wrong. The employee posted the airline ticket with the child's name on it, on the internet. That goes a little too far, don't you think? Would you want your child's privacy violated this way and her name blasted on the internet?

Don't give your children idiotic names if you don't want their names drawing attention.

If this kids name was something like Bella Redford, no one would give a second thought to the kid's name.

Nope. That doesn't justify an adult being rude to a child. Try again.

Oh for Pete’s sake! I didn’t even catch that. I was too busy trying to string together the letters as an actual name.

Now I dislike that mom even more.

She’s as stupid as stupid can be. All kids get teased about their names at one time or another, even when they have very common ones. Kids can be cruel too. When I was a kid I had an over weight friend named Ruth. The mean kids called her “Booth” as in phone booth, as in “she was big as one.” Gail was “Ghoul” and so on.

This kid’s going to be called “alphabet girl” or something like that. Mommy had better be prepared for a lot of fights.
