My son's name is pretty unique, and his mom and I worried about kids teasing him about it in school. He's 12 now, and it never happens. Other kids seem to like his name, and he loves it. One time at a play ground I even overheard another kid tell him that was his name also, only to have that kids sister tell everyone that he was a liar, that was not his name. The only people that ever talk shit about his name are gdamn adults.

i read this story elsewhere earlier, and i feel so bad for this child. even if they cant name their child that, he still has to have them as parents for the rest of his life.
I hate it when parents name their children absolutely obnoxious names.. theyre not pets, theyre humans and they have to deal with it eventually and they will hate you for it.
my best friend bought a bunny and named it Reptilian Cheeseburger Fish III...he hates us.

It's really only significant here because there's a numeral involved. There's no way this is any weirder than what some of our celebrities name their kids.
Apple...Audio Science...Nicholas Cage gave his son Superman's real name...yeah.
but kalel is a fucking cool name! (supermans name)
I know somebody who changed their name by deed-poll to '007' and this was accepted.
Perhaps if the kid is named 'Foreal' for now he/she/it could add the numeral when old enough to choose a stupid name for itself.
Or perhaps just change it to something less wankful.

I think its a violation of my rights and my ability to act as a free individual for YOU someone who isn't me, someone who isn't living my life, to tell me that I cannot name the fucking only thing that continues what I am. In all honesty- it is of my opinion that we are biological creatures, mammals, driven by need and that. heh. Our DNA drives us to procreate to preserve the genetic legacy. So I am the product of my dad and mom and theirs and theirs and since the time we fucking crawled out of the ocean. So for you to tell me what I can or cannot do with my offspring, fuck you. End your chain because you are a fucking, weak ass link.
Wa-hoooah! Dude.
You can call your kid anything you want. You are only legally allowed to register a name that contains only letters, which seems reasonable. That doesn't mean you have to call your kid that on a daily basis.
the poor kid would get picked on constantly if his name was 4real...eventually he would end up resenting his parents for his name and changing it....i mean if the kid ends up liking that name it would be surprising
I enjoy this so much more because of this event: Today at work I was inputting some names into the system and I cam across Toshiba and some other random appliance names and such. Freakin' parents... :::shakes head::: can we start making a license required to be a parent or something. I mean it's a privelage ... Kinda like driving.
