Before naming ourcat, my partner and I debated for weeks about what we should call him. We thought long and hard about what name perfectly suited his personality, made extensive lists, asked friends for their opinions and played around with different options to make sure we chose the perfect one. I can’t even imagine how stressful it is tonamea child. But apparently, someparentshave no problem choosing names that essentially begbulliesto target their kids.

The expert also says it’s important to be empathetic when discussing names. “When it comes to real names, it’s always worth remembering there’s a real child attached. Don’t be too quick to insult a name, even online,” she noted. “The child WILL find it, and it will hurt.”

“The rarer case is names chosen maliciously,” Laura says. “For instance, I’ve heard of instances of a husband insisting on a particular girl’s name, only for his wife to later discover it was the name of the woman he was having an affair with. Then there was the family that chose Nazi names deliberately to upset people. No child should be used as a weapon.”

Princess.Not the absolute worst, but I don’t think I could ever take this person seriously. Please don’t give children names that you give pets.
But thegood newsis that, even if you truly hate your name, you can always have it changed. “More adults are changing their names than ever before,” Laura shared. “Your name is your identity in word form; the way you’re presented to the world. If you honestly believe yours doesn’t represent you well, changing it can be a reasonable choice.”
Any name that is an expensive item. Rolex, Cartier, Mercedes, Diamond. Those are just str*pper names.

I was once drunk in a Taco Bell, waiting for my order at the pickup counter. The employee comes over to announce the next order, goes to read the name on the bag, double takes.“…Adolph?”This m**********r walks up, head in shame. The employee literally said “that’s not funny” as the guy was trying to seriously explain that was his real name.I think about that man often.

I remember a girl going viral for naming her daughter C*ntley.
Naming a kid anything that sounds like a joke—like “Brick” or “Banana”—is just setting them up for a tough time. Imagine going through life introducing yourself as “Banana”… nah, that’s just cruel. Keep it cute, not crazy!

There is a road in rural Ontario named after a local farmer, Harry Dyck. The road sign for Harry Dyck Road kept getting stolen. So they epoxy’d the sign to the post, and it remains to this day. True story.
