worst name evar

Ophelia June Whipple.

she's Ophelia Whipple. Feela Nipple. I cannot believe my ex named her daughter this. She obviously didn't think about the baby's father's name. Not to mention Ophelia is a terrible cursed name to begin with.

I don't mind the name itself but I think there are a lot of opportunities for kids to make fun of the "ophelia whipple" combo, as she gets older.

Just me personally, but I wouldn't necessarily turn down a name on that basis alone. Kids are cruel, and will find ANYTHING to make fun of. Kid could be named Madison, but they'd tease her because she's too fat or too tall or wears braces or what have you.

I got teased a lot when I was a kid, and yes, oftentimes the bullies would make some 'funny' combo of my name to tease me with - but they would have teased me regardless, and I grew up to love my name, so ...

Sorry for the rant, it wasn't directed at you personally or anything!

ita. I can't even remember ever meeting someone who was so scarred by being teased for their name as a child that they currently wouldn't want their name. I think the precaution around not naming your kid something they'll get teased for is blown out of proportion.

Yeah, pretty much. I mean ... probably not a good idea to name your kid Holden Hiscock (lol, that's supposedly an actual kid around here; hope it was just a rumor!) or Harry Dick or anything outright like that, but most names are fine in general.
