« on: December 19, 2018, 11:21:48 pm »I am reminded of a news story about a woman who named her kid "ABCDE" (pronounced "Ab-city" apparently?) and got pissed when a flight attendant took a picture of the kid's boarding pass and put it on social media because of "name shaming" (and not because of the fact it included personal information which would have been a reasonable complaint)
Well, it’s kind of a dick move when you’re essentially laughing at a child and their identity, particularly when you should be helpful, and not a dick. Parent’s may be foolish for naming their child that, but don’t make the kid feel bad about it; it’s not their fault their parents’ want to stand out.
My nickname is hector, ‘cause I wear glasses. I had some people in school get offended on my behalf, which was most bemusing.
