I was teased so much in elementary school because of my name, life was torture!!!!!!! I had a miserable childhood and im sure my name had a lot to do with that! When I moved to America when I was like 12, we went through a "name book" so I could pick an american name so I wouldn't be teased anymore.

Having a bad name can really fuck you up. When I think about it around 20 YEARS later, I still remember the name of the boy who made fun of me and I'm still traumatized.

Trust me, giving your kids fucked up names you think are "special" or "unique" can lead to teasing, bullying...

Remember what happened to those Columbine kids when they were bullied? They shot up the school. Some other people can't handle it and commit suicide.

I am not saying giveing your kids a bad name will cause them to commit suicide, but if they have a lot of other problems and are constantly teased and picked sometimes it can make them feel like they can't handle it anymore..

Luckily I grew up "ok" but I am STILL traumatized to this DAY.
