I was once neighbour to a regilious youthgroup in a hostel in Nicaragua. I remember Chastity, Prudence and Charity... they partied like there is no tomorrow and gossiped nonstop when the leaders of the group where not around

Sounds like her mom was trying to tell her something.

Their other kids are Exa dark sidrael and techno mechanicus. Surprisingly, the kids musk has with other women have pretty average names

Now that's also just rude.

a) how is that legal and b) why didn't they change that as soon as they were able?

Yeah, we can name children "Property".

The airline staff who thought it was an error on the ticket and the mother got offended that somone could make fun of her child’s ”name”

Seems a bit fishy. Could've named her Gil-da.

When you are mentally a child yourself you should not raise kids

Good name for a Murloc!

I know a Christopher Christy

Thats cheesy 😉 (I’ll show myself out)

I interviewed a young lady with Mle written as the first name. I was thinking Mm-leh Nope. It's pronounced M L. E (Emily).

So is Elon Musk.

You have to stretch at this one being a bad name. I've known a number of Curt's over the years and none of them have ever had an issue with the name.

LOL somone saw the expendables and missunderstood the name

And they always tell you it heaven spelled backwards

Well, the original is using Newt but is named Newton. And using surnames for a second name is a perfectly normal tradition. That being said, the main problem here is not the name itself but being named after this sorry excuse of a human being.

I concur, because Hokkien is my mother tongue and the literal translation for Yao Siew Kia means "Demon child" aka naughty, nasty kid.

I am the fifth generation with the same name. It caused confusion with creditors and such for years. But I wouldn't have it any other way. It was really funny when the Army tried to digitize all the BUPERS files while I was in. Suddenly I had stuff on my service record from the battle of Gettysburg.

We've got a name that's been used for 5 generations of our family. Both my uncle and brother use it as a middle name but my great grandad is both junior and senior because his son and father use the same name

And worse, *only* Junior as a first name. Gives the impression as if the bearer is still a child. Imagine being an old man with a load of grandkids - and still be called 'Junior'! Brrrrr

I live in an area where there is a cultural tendency to name a child after his dad and then the kid grows up known as "Junior." Not by his first name, just Junior. My granddaughter just became Mrs Junior and I had to ask what his real name was!

I have three older bothers, I'm a girl. My dad didn't want any of the boys named after him because he didn't want a Junior. When I was born my mom convinced him to name me after him. I have the feminine version of my father's name.

I am a junior. It is what it is. But my father and then I were both known/go by our middle names. After a life of explaining to people, "no, I go by middle name", and having to wear name-tags or sign documents printed with a name you do not identify with, why would you do that to your own off-spring? It is just a huge, life-long, PITA!

I'm a "Jr." myself. Mailing lists keep getting myself and my dad (in the next state over) confused. The funniest part was when I was 17 and the Navy wanted to recruit me. My dad picked up the phone, and they tried to recruit him instead...but he was a Chief Petty Officer!

Doing genealogy research with generations of this foolishness is almost impossible.

Two people who are the third ex: John Mike doe the 3rd.

Or they couldn't be bothered to think of something different.

I know someone who is just Junior.

But this is very important if you are "royalty" and want to make sure everyone know this is their heir. Got to keep that myth of legitimacy/money going after all.

Noooo not the CG child kill it with fireeee

Aita thread from yesterday

That's a new kind of tragedeigh!

I can bet what the kid's nickname was...

I knew a guy in college who was almost named Avis like the car company because his brother was allowed to pick the name. Thankfully, his parents chose Chris instead.

Ooof Goth Demon, go digging around online for Johnny Cash, you might get the reference. 'And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him... Bill or George! Any-damn-thing but Sue! I still hate that name!'

I appreciate that you are not allowed to use names like this in germany. Poor children.

Rob Morrow named his kid ”Tu” do the name is Tu Morrow. Tomorrow. Why not just go to the school and pay the bullies.

That's the worst name I ever heard.

There is a lot to unpack here. I suspect there's far more to this story

As long as it is not Jhackxsonn or Ghraeclynn , I don't have a big problem with that. Names and spelling evolve naturally. Image we would still spell our names like they did 500 or even 200 years ago...

This sounds more like a Simpson's joke than something that really happened.

How can you be that stupid?

Very much depends on the name. That AITA a couple weeks ago about someone whose sister/SIL wanted to name their kid Luffy? Definitely not. People who named their kid Harry, Ron or Hermione after the Harry Potter books/movies? Not nearly as bad.
