Musk is a cruel bastard. There are other really terrible names, but that has to be the most idiotic.

Came across someone in a park once (England, nowhere weird) who was yelling ‘Excalibur!’. Thought it was a dog, nope, it was a lad.

We just hired a guy whose first, middle, and last name is the same, but spelled 3 different ways lol I don’t want to actually say his name on the off chance by some miracle he sees this or it gets back to him, but I think it’s terrible. Like if your parents named you Shaun Sean Shawn lol

I worked in admissions as a tour guide in college. When we didn’t have tours during our shift we stuffed envelopes. I’ll always remember Sylver Blades and Mystic Powers receiving mailings.

Met a girl named Jennifert in college…Jennifer with a T. Why? Because her parents wanted her to be different.

I’ve twice tried to post this on the tragedeigh Facebook group and haven’t been approved because they think I’m bulls***tting, but I have had confirmation on this from several people who lived in my city at the time of this. 

My mom taught at a school in the 80s where there was 2 siblings, one named Hallelujahthemessiahiscoming, and Repentorburnforever. 

I thought my mom was BSing for years until my coworker told me my mom was a teacher at her school when she was a student in the 80s.i asked my coworker about this, and she said yes, she was a little older than those kids but remembered them because they were in swimming classes at the local pool she was a lifeguard at. She told me her younger brother knew them and said at least one of them got into [illegal substances] later.

Derf

Not joking. Was working security in MN and a trucker came in to sign in. As he’s writing his name, I glanced at his name. ‘Derf’. I felt bad for his childhood.

Aiden or any variation. Not because of the name itself but any teacher can tell you students with that name are 99% behavioral issues.
