FabSwingers.com forum: Don't apologise

An airline has apologised after their boarding staff laughed at a kid with the name 'abcde'.

Apparently there are 328 pairs of american parents who are stupid enough to think that is an appropriate name for a child.

As ever, the entitled parent refused any personal responsibility. "She said: 'Mom, why is she laughing at my name?' And I said not everyone is nice and not everyone is going to be nice and it's unfortunate." No, what's unfortunate is that you have parents who expect the whole world to fit around you, rather than just go with a name that doesn't sound like a mobile phone password.

I'm pretty sure the mockery from her peers is well on its way. If the parents will sign the paperwork then the name can be changed at any time, then we might have hope for her.

I agree it's shite of the adults to openly take the piss out of the poor kid.

The parents though... no words.

Odd that if you walk down the same path you always end up at the same place.

It was exploring the impact of names on society, including how variant spellings of the same name make a difference to earnings.

It's an excellent read.

Yeah I've read it, I just didn't remember that. I remember calculating how much a third world prostitute valued her life based on the price of bareback...

I think abcde would do well to stay out of rehab, let alone earn any money by holding down a job

They may have just been thinking ahead .

In the years ahead more and more kids will be suffering with gender dysmorphia , so with a name like that she could be he , and vice versa , anytime she / he wanted to be , without changing their name .

I think it;s a bit shit that adults could not temper their amusement, to ridicule a child to the point they are aware of it is really shitty behaviour.

The parents have set the kid up for a life of ridicule, they will spend their life clarifying their name, spelling it, agreeing that yes it is unusual, explaining that no it doesn't mean anything. And being laughed at.

But I think a flight attendant who takes a picture of a boarding pass and shares it on social media is incredibly cruel and should also be sacked for their lack of professionalism

To be fair, the flight attendants first thought was probably "wow, this person has purchased 5 seats"

Totally agree with this. Laughing with colleagues away from the public over the name is probably something we’d all do.

Publishing it on social media is a breach of privacy and totally out of order.

A French court refused the name "nutella", New Zealand banned "anal" after someone attempted to name their kid that, they also stopped someone naming their kid "talula does the hula from hawaii" and "sex fruit". Norway jailed a mother who refused to pay the fine for using an unapproved name "gesher" which means bridge in Hebrew. A Turkish couple living in Germany were prevented from naming their kid "Osama bin Laden".

There is a kid in Mexico called "Robocop".

To be fair, its stupidity is only really highlighted when you see its written form. If she said it then you'd just assume she was one of those white Americans that has to remind you they are 1/16 Irish, 1/32 polish and 1/1,024 native American. Because that's a thing apparently.

There's no way to slip "Robocop" in without thing getting weird.

Yeah i don't really agree with Norway giving you a list of possible names, "gesher" sounds fine to me. But no a kid should not be called "sex fruit".

Mock the parents yes away from the child. But to laugh at the child no they didn’t ask for the name and have no control of it until they are of legal age to change it. That’s just cruel
