I don’t know about the kid but the mom’s middle name is probably Condombroke.

My wife is a kindergarten teacher in Minnesota. She had a child named Abcde in her class a few years ago.

You know what? The kids - neither the child with the name nor her peers - don't know that it's a name that sends some adults running for their name safe-space. They have to be taught that.

Whining about someone's name is the very definition of a first-world problem.

Very PC of you, but you do know a number of European countries simply will not let parents give children stupid names. Just because one classroom of kindergartners learned her name just as she learned theirs is not a meaningful representation of the real, cruel world.

Why saddle a child with a pointless burden like that?

Fghij probably.

-"What's your name?"
"abcity."
-"How do you spell that?"
"abcde."

Yeah, I think a name change is in this poor kid's future.

There are many names we've never heard of especially names from different cultures and all over the world. Just because you've never heard of a name doesn't give one the right to mock that name.

The flight attendant probably did this girl a favor. People will have heard of and know how to pronounce 'Abcde' now.

Her brother, Eieio, has it worse. Especially since his last name is McDonald and he lives on a farm.

This is not from another culture or anywhere in the world except for the alphabet strip above the whiteboard in a kindergarten class.

It's up there with Nopar and Nosmo King.
