Parents with undiagnosed learning disorders will create children with learning disorders.

I will never understand obtuse alternate spellings that are just homophones. Like Trinity spelled Triniteigh accomplishes nothing.

I worked under someone at an old job who named his son Jaxon. And kept pictures Jaxon drew and signed on the wall of his office. So every time I needed something from him, I would have to see Jaxon's name in his office. And I hated it.

Come on, man. Mötley is a metal name. Literally. I'd love to be named Mötley. Especially if it came with the umlaut like it's supposed to.

I'm all for unique and clear identifiers for everything, including people, but jesus christ, imagine yourself in elementary school having a weird name. Why would parents choose a hard mode for their progeny?

Let me introduce you to Marijuana Pepsi:

The kicker is her parents and siblings have normal names.

I'm a big proponent of normal/semi obscure normal first name, weird middle name. John W Smith if you work in sales, J Wolfgang Smith if you're an author. Perfect compromise.

We gave our daughter a somewhat disused but normal and formerly not uncommon name which was the name of a plant. We just wanted a name that wasn't religious but still normal enough that she wouldn't get bullied for it (she got bullied anyway). We realized later that it actually made sense in terms of her ancestry because her mother has a plant name, her grandmother has a plant name and her great-grandmother had a plant name. One long lineage of plant names.

She was bullied for other reasons. Most significantly being as eccentric as her parents.

I guess if everyone has a weird name, that doesn't matter. Maybe kids don't make fun of weird names anymore. Who knows, maybe it's the Johns and Marys who get made fun of for having uninteresting names.
