A UK mother was left “absolutely devastated” after her daughter’s passport application was denied because she was named after a popular “Game of Thrones” character.
Yeah but it’s also the parents responsibility to give their child a non stupid name that won’t get them ridiculed their whole life.
Parents being quirky with names is how you end up with kids getting bullied forever.
Edit: Glad to see all the people who weren’t bullied downvoting this. My name isn’t even that weird and I still get made fun of for it. Don’t give your kids stupid names.
Have you ever dealt with a bully’s parents? Have you ever even dealt with a bully?
Schools tend to favor bullies. Mainly because their parents are fucking crazy and will threaten all kinds of shit and most normal people don’t want to deal with that.
Kids will make fun of any name. My name is common in the area of the world I am from, and they bullied me with my name.
Fuck off with this shit that the name is the problem, kids probably just decided to bully because they are terrible little shits whise parents either don’t care, or encourage them.
Tell that to the parents who let their kids do whatever they want and will completely flip their shit if anyone dares threaten their “perfect little angel”
To everyone else don’t set your kids up for failure.
Agreed on all fronts. Don’t be a cruel parent and give your kid a fucked up name. If you can’t find it on the keychain turnstile in a truck stop, your “cute” name for a kid is causing more trouble than it’s worth.
I have a misspelled common name (and it’s a common misspelling) and every call for every account in my whole life is a PITA.
You aren’t clever or cute, don’t fuck up your kid’s name. Color your hair blue and you be unique, leave your poor child alone, dipshit.
This is the same argument used in the UK to justify school uniforms. That kids would get bullied over their clothes, so let’s just make everyone wear the same thing. I’m wondering how you feel about that

Sorry it was so difficult for you.
Life ain’t easy for a boy named Sue
I mean I don’t even have that odd of a name but even in adulthood it’s made fun of occasionally.
I can only imagine someone named after some fantasy story.
Some fantasy story that everybody hates now.
Hey, maybe realise by your experience that it isn’t the name but shitty people.
That’s half of my whole point 💀
Shit people exist. It’s hard enough when everything’s normal.
Imagine how much worse it would be for some kid with a name that’s actually weird not just slightly.
So why are we letting kids do that?

I was bullied at every school I went to. Which is where I developed my idea about how they operate.
So yes I have dealt with a bully’s parent. And all you did was say thay I was right.
Normal people have to deal with it.

My point is kids are going to be shitheads regardless. Why would you give them a perfect target?
If your kid is a shithead, there is only one place to place the blame, and its not the kid.

Hey, thanks for elaborating on my point.
Because its the parents that I was pointing the finger at.
