A Southwest Airlines gate agent at John Wayne Airport is accused of being awful in front of a five-year old girl - and on social media - because of her unique name.The girl's mother says the agent made fun of the name and even posted a photo of her boarding pass on social media for others to chime in.Five-year-old Abcde Redford pronounces her name "ab-city."
Anyone that names their kid something like that is crying for attention. This time the attention just was negative so they're unhappy. Oh well.
I agree.I know people who named their kids "Always" and "Forever" because of their last name. Even substitute teachers giggled when they read their names for attendance.I always considered it a mild form of child abuse because when they got married, their last name changed and their first names just got worse.
This is why some people petition to change their names the day they turn 18. I have a Nephew who changed his name at 18. His father is an Indian Muslim and he had the first name "Mohamed" (never went by it). He just had it deleted.
@Cyber Liberty I like Johnny Cash but I really dislike that song. When I’m working on Election Day I do see some strange names, I just use the surname if I can’t pronounce the first name. I don’t like my first name either. I wish I could change it but I’ve learned to live with it. My middle name is worse.
In the book “Freakonomics†the authors tell the story of the mom who named her sons Lemon Jello and Orange Jello.
Yes, and then there are the children named Syphilis (pronounced Suh-PHIL-is) and gonorrhea (Gon-OR-ee-ah).
The most popular girls names of 2018 wereSophia, Sarah, Paisley, and CharlieBoysJackson, Caden, Daniel, and Lincoln
Paisley?
Many years ago, when my daughter was little, there were two kids on the playground with awful names (they were siblings). The boy was named Seven - as in the number - and the girl was named Natural. Most likely the boy will eventually go by “Sven†because that’s easy enough; I suppose the girl might end up going by “Nat†or “Natalieâ€.
My son and his wife named their first daughter Marigold and the second Violet, we were quite thankful they didn't pick weird names. When I hear the names of some of the kids on my grandson's baseball team I have to restrain my laughter, but apparently the weirdness is common enough that the other kids don't make fun of them. Hell I got a lot more grief just having a very common Hungarian name.
The gate agent should be fired or demoted and seriously disciplined. Then someone should take that poor child’s parents out behind the woodshed and slap them something silly for being so gratuitously mean to their child. One wonders if the next child will be named fghij and how that would be pronounced.
To me Charlie is a perfume
