There are some children whose names seem designed to make fun of. It begs the question, what were the parents thinking when they chose that particular word as the calling name for their beloved child?
We know from our experiences in our youth how cruel the world can be—especially little kids who have no filter on their brains or mouths. But apparently, some parents have no problem choosing names for their kids that might make them the target of bullies.

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.

#22 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.

#24 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!
