There is an old saying: don't give your kids stupid names.

I have an exGF named Angel Dust. Her mother thought it was funny. Her daughter didn't and goes by the name Angie.

I mean, this just isn't right, regardless of what your name is:



So fuck that employee and whatever happens to them.

Yeah employee should be fired and Southwest is gonna be ponying up some money. One thing to be snickering about it with your coworkers/friends in private, something else entirely to be taking a pic of that and posting it online.

Names are getting crazy today and people get really upset if you pronounce them wrong.

"Is Em Lee there ?" (MLE)

"OMG. It's pronounced Emily. Asshole!!"

Weird to be making fun of someone (especially you people talking about phonetics) seeing as how if you actually say those 3 letters properly you'd be saying em el ee and not em lee. Actually that's kinda ingenious as it'd make filling out a bunch of paperwork easier (especially stuff where you have to do scantrons), yet it actually makes it seem like a traditional name when pronounced.

They get mad at me for asking how they spell their name. A friend suggested that they probably didn't know either.

And an oldie...A aron.

Language warning.

And you're fine (not just fine its literally your whole business) taking advantage of people that you find that stupid. Says a lot about your character.

The "bad names" you speak of were most likely at least phonetically correct.

Except you're ignoring that with the strong accents/dialects that the spellings often actually didn't line up with the phonetics. That's why people ended up with nicknames and other shit because people didn't want to try saying their proper names. Likewise when people immigrated they were given much simpler names.

Which, speaking of that, you know how people used to get last names based on what they did? Like Baker, Miller, etc? Well, let's just say I'm glad my father wasn't a Dickinson.

Southwest should get someone from their customer service department to change their name to FU and have them deal with her.

I mean, sure, that may sound like a 'bad name'...but I'm pretty sure lots of now common names were considered bad decades/centuries ago.

However, parents should think a bit more before trying to be 'creative'. I hate my name, and it did not make my life easy in school.

Idk man, ImpulsE69 is a pretty awesome name.

I met someone 30 years ago who's first name was Everyday. After the first couple of times you go used to it. However each person he me, including me, he had to say "Yes my name is everyday" and then have a conversation about his name.

I was in a Walmart once talking to this associate in her twenties that worked in electronics. She had hot pink hair and was very clearly a gamer girl. Nintendo came up in the conversation and I was shocked to hear she had named her son "Link". Apparently, he loves it.

Personally, I can't wait until this kid gets pulled over as a passenger and doesn't have her ID.

Officer - could you spell your name

Girl - "ABCDE"

"Officer - Look, I am trying to cut you and your friends a break but if you don't even want to spell your name right then everyone is going to have a bad night. Now, try that again without the sass.

Girl - I swear that is how it is spelled officer, ask my friends!.

Officer - goes and talks to friends, comes back, Alright, are you absolutely 100% sure this is how you want me to run your name because God help you if it comes back bogus and I gotta hear all of my buddies busting my balls about it later. Tell me now and I might even overlook my time you have waisted but I am telling you if this is some sort of BS name, if you are religious you better start praying. Intervention from God himself would probably be the only way out of the unholy wrath I will bring down upon you and your friends!.

Girl - I swear it's right.

Officer - Wait here while I run it..... After a minute or two, the squad car erupts in laughter. Other people that were on shift that night and overheard the call are radioing the officer saying they want a copy of the incident report. A minute later his buddies at home hear about it and they are all calling him on his cell. This goes on for about 30 minutes and the cop had completely forgotten about the actual car stop. He composes himself as best he can to talk to the girls.

Officer - Miss Abcde, you don't have any siblings do you?

Girl - No, why?

Officer - I just wanted to know how much of the alphabet that she got through.

Girl - I am pretty sure that my mom did a lot of drugs back then. On the plus side, I was one of the first kids to learn how to spell my name - both laugh. But seriously officer I have dealt with this my entire life. They must have been some really good drugs. I am really dreading going to get my license the first time, thank God for registered BC and SSCards.

Officer - Ok, go sit in the car with your friends.
Officer - Walks around to the driver side, desperately trying not to laugh - Hands driver back all her info shows her the tickets that he was already written for her, rips up the tickets in front of her says You girls be safe tonight, you are all free to go.

Girls - Oh my god, can any of you believe that just happened. I thought we all going to jail and then ripped up the tickets he already wrote, have you ever heard of anything like that?? Girls chiming in - I haven't of anything like happening to Vanessa whose brother is a cop. Let's get the hell out of here before he changes his mind. - all girls start laughing and they GTFO there and Abcde, as well as her friends, left unscathed and had a new story.
