  That does tend to happen to children that are half human and half flying squid

      Good tactic for almost any situation in life imo

  Honestly being bullied for a weird name just feels like victim blaming. It’s just someone else’s shitty behaviour we’re expected to dance around? That was the one problem with the name.

    I don’t disagree, but it’s also a parental responsibility, in my opinion, to help your child avoid bullying. It’s not possible to avoid entirely, but there are definitely ways to make it worse. And a weird name is one of them.

      Give a kid a weird name and the bully will pick on them but set a bully on fire… no… wait, I think I got that wrong.

    It may be someone else’s problem, but as a parent , you should consider your child’s well being when naming them, and try to avoid obvious pitfalls
