I laughed so hard I spilled coffee on myself and paper work on my desk.
I don't care what anybody names their baby or changes their name to but the comedy in this article is priceless !

    Yeah get how some get humor from the misgivings of the poor and uneducated.

    As to discriminating against a person due to their name, well it's the parents not the off spring. Ravens a dick.

    Course I could see discriminating against person named Clayton or Toby.

    I have a bias toward goofy spellings of otherwise common names or unusual names that are difficult to spell or pronounce. But having a bias is not the same as judging someone based on that bias. The thing to with a bias is to admit it, figure out if it is your own hang up or is there a real reason for it and treat others with due courtesy and respect regardless.

    I have seen "Cereal" pronounced "Surreal". Then there's "Le-a". Yup, that's pronounced "Ledasha".

    Scout salute, just saw a young girl on one of those Scared Straight things.

    Her name is Ty'Lexus.

    Why?!!

    Oh for fuck's sake.

    Ty'Lexus' sister is named Ty'Chelle.

    And while I'm incredulous and am apt to poke fun, ultimately I just don't get it and pretty much align with this train of thought.

    I was almost named "David" but that would have made me D-Lux. Thank heavens for my thoughtful parents! :smiley:

    He could still throw a "Lil" in front of his current name and pursue his destiny as a rapper. Just sayin'.
