A Southwest Airlines gate agent is accused of being awful in front of a 5-year old girl and on social media because of her unique name.

Naming your child "ab-city" is a smart move, makes sure that they stay fit and healthy. Can't be called "ab-city" and be fat.
In all seriousness though, I just feel bad for the daughter. The parent(s) made a poor decision there. Unique names are whatever, but trying to be "cute" with it just backfired for them hard. --- Now Playing: Persona 3:FES, Morrowind SFV: Ed | Kolin SCVI: Groh | Taki ... Copied to Clipboard!

My dad had the option to name me after himself or one of my ancestors. He chose my great grandfather because "I lived with my name all my life, I am not putting my son through that". It is a good philosophy to have, even if you don't get bullied over it just having to explain it to everyone you meet is enough to convince me to keep the name simple and somewhat common.

As someone with an ethnic (not 'Ghetto') name, I can understand how she feels...BUT, her name isn't 'ethnic' at all...just some Millennial/Hipster lady trying to be Hip and Different with her child.
I just don't understand why they just name their dogs this or better yet, change their own damn name to something unusual and different. It's a real cowardly thing to do to put her thru that.

What a stupid woman. I think what's more stupid though is she's spelled it in a way that makes no sense. Now this little girl will have to wait until she can change her name by deed poll(or w/e it is in the USA) to fix this mess. Surely she must have known her daughter would be ridiculed hall her life with spelling her name like that.

Unique is fine. Utterly off the wall is kinda odd and screams for attention. Pretty much. Having grown up with the most popular name for boys in my area for my birth year (in my parents' defense, they tried to pick something unique, and it just ended up being unusually popular that year because apparently everyone else had the same idea), and having to deal with many other people in my cohort with the same name, it gets a little old. At the same time, though, avoiding that would not be worth having to explain how to spell my name every single time I provide it because it's some bizarre alternate spelling that replaces every vowel with a Y. ...

Gotta say, I feel bad for that little girl to have a parent name her something so absurd. The only issue I ever have with my name is spelling since there are two ways to spell my name and everyone wants to spell it the way it isn't spelled and never even ask or consider that it may be spelled the other way.

All I got out of this story is this:
GanglyKhan posted... "Hey if I can hear you, my daughter can hear you, so I'd appreciate if you'd just stop" ...the immediate, knee-jerk reply to this should have been: "Maybe you should have thought of that when you were naming her?" Don't get me wrong, the gate agent is wrong to be making fun of anyone's name because it's kind of tactless in general, but that mother is a complete asshole. Her daughter's going to be hearing this kind of mocking and abuse for the rest of her natural life (unless she eventually has her name legally changed), and that's entirely on her. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

Naming your child something like that is essentially child abuse and should be illegal. Kind of like how naming your kid Hitler is illegal.
