If he is a male (with a name like Always I can't tell) he is some young ladies dream.?ÿ If she is female then the name just reinforces the truth.

And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do
But ya ought to thank me, before I die
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye

A girl named Abcde (pronounced Ab-city) was in the news a bit ago. Her mother complained about how she was treated by the TSA. The interesting thing for me was a comment (sarcastic) after the story about how a man's son Vwxyz was being teased about his name- they pronounce it Joe.?ÿ

I saw that story when it came out- Here's a version of it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2018/11/29/little-girl-named-abcde-was-mocked-by-southwest-gate-agent-airline-has-apologized/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.49030a08b209

the first version I saw had the photo of the boarding pass in it. There was also a comment by the mother that said she heard other travelers comment, "Some parents should be slapped"...

I've given the following advice to a handful of expecting parents, "When choosing your child's name, if at any point you or your spouse utter the phrase 'that sounds cool', scrap the name and move on to another."

There's a belief in Oklahoma held by some that if you give your child two first names (i.e. Ricky Bobby or Stevie Joe) it will doom the child to attain a felony record at the moment of his legal adulthood.

An old dog trainer told me one time, "When you're naming your dog just remember, you WILL be yelling that name a lot.?ÿ Keep the name short so he can hear it."?ÿ The same advice applies to children's names.

Grandson's name is Jameson so I call him that, like the Whiskey 😀

Kids tend to call him Jamey but why?

Roman Catholic Priest to me at a grand-nephew baptism (I'm not Roman Catholic, I'm the Good kind of Catholic-Anglican), "why did you name your son after the whiskey?" He's not my son, I didn't name him, what a doofus.

How are we supposed to know who the guest are on either show??ÿ?ÿ Are you implying that you actually watch them?

Just curious!

All that matters is what you think of the name you were given. There was a fellow named Joe Shitz who applied to the court to have his name changed. In the space labeled "Reason for Change," he wrote, "Because everybody is always coming up to me and saying, 'Whatcha know, Joe?'"

My only advice if your gonna make a name change is to NOT do like my grandfather and 5 of his 6 siblings and drop a few letters from the end of a name and add a couple of others and make the name just sound out of place.

What was a perfectly normal Italian name now sounds like some bloody Scandinavian and you can bet I am not one of them.

Another is not to name your son Jr, III, IV and so on.
