This kid’s going to be called “alphabet girl” or something like that. Mommy had better be prepared for a lot of fights.
Or worse.
Really, bizarre and extended spellings are one thing. Unusual names that conform to naming expectations are another thing. But a "name" that not one person is ever going to be able to sight-pronounce and that is going to have to be spelled out two or three times every time it's given and is going to provoke something between mild hilarity and disbelief to an assumption the girl is putting them on (a form of aggression likely to be countered with aggression) is... just abuse.
O
. 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. s.
You didn't even read the story because there is more to it than that. But keep posting all this drivel. You don't have any kids.
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?
Not what I said. My point was the employee said nothing about the child personally. Of course what the employee did was wrong. I never said it wasn’t. Nor did I deny the employee went too far. She did. And she should never had made the post on the Internet, I never said that was okay either. It wasn’t.
What I said was she was not making fun of the child. She wasn’t. I said making fun of the name in public was not the right thing to do. And that’s what she was doing.
Unfortunately mom and daughter had better get used to it because of the mother’s very unwise decision to give her child that name in the first place.
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.
I once knew a guy whose given name was Richard Cranium. Hardly anyone knew about since he always went by the first name, RC. He was never scared emotionally, as far as I knew.
ABcde would be a handy first name to have if the girl were to own a fitness studio later in life.

Nope, it's all because Mom is an idiot and named her child an idiotic name. The kid is going to be made fun of her entire life because of her mom. This gate agent is not going to be the only person to find the kid's name humorous.
And yes it is the name people are having an issue with, not the child.

I think you are right.
Adding to this, I used to pay health insurance claims and had to deal with many different names and many different spellings of names It was truly a nightmare for people who dealt with contacts and legal documents. And pity the poor school teachers faced with ten different spellings of the name “Ashley.”
People should consider these things when naming there kids. Not everyone needs to be called John or Mary but weird spellings or unpronounceable names never did anyone any good.

Why would he be scared? Plenty of people go by initials, that's not unusual.
Abcde is not this childs initials, it's her name. I guess the only redeeming factor is that it's pronounced ab-city, and not a.b.c.d.e...
That ranks right at the top of some of the stupidest names I've ever heard. And the pronunciation "Ab-city" doesn't help, sounds like a low-rent fitness club.
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...
Fghij.
