so was the employee making a joke about the "ab city"? seems like a harmless joke and that mom is a stupid bitch

You should read the story. This was more like mean girls behavior than a harmless behind the back joke. The employee deserved to be fired

Did not expect a white person

I wasn't going to say it, but I was thinking it.

This reminds me of that episode of King of the Hill in which Luanne wanted to named her daughter Lasagna.

What kind of dumbass names their child this?

This.

Theyre gonna eat Abcde alive in Elementary

Also this.

Also lol name-shaming

Further proof its much easier to play the victim card than own up to your mistakes, like naming your kid such a stupid name.

Get fucking real. Parents know what they are doing when they choose a name for their kid. Choosing something dumb is setting them up for a lifetime of ridicule by their peers. It may have been an adult in this case, but this girl is in for constant heckling when she starts school.

The Redfords were preboarding as they usually do because Abcde is epileptic when the Southwest Airlines gate agent started laughing and pointing at the child

What Redford didnt find out until later, though, is that the unidentified employee also took a picture of the girls boarding pass and posted it on Facebook

life was just hellbent on screwing this poor kid.

The parents should be arrested for child abuse, naming your kid these asinine names just be a special snowflake liberal should be a crime. You're subjecting your kid to needless shame mockery abuse and bullying just because a normal name like Allie, Matt, John, Sarah, etc. is not unique enough for you.

I support these stories because maybe if we get enough of them we'll stop having these stupid names.

No it isn't, this is not a word, this is not how the english language works.

It can also effect employment opportunities. Call it unfair all you want, but I work in HR and don't even read the resumes if they have a ridiculous name (Tequilla, Blades, Chi-Town, Nosferatu etc are all names I've seen).

Like someone else said earlier, your child's name and future should not be the canvas for your creativity or a fucking joke.

Is that name a JoJo reference?

This. It should be a crime with a sentence of minimum 20 years in prison. Sound harsh? Dont name your kid such a stupid fucking name. Ideally itll be a crime thats in the books but no one ever commits.

See, and clarifying the pronunciation just makes it sound even stupider. The fuck is an "ab city"? It literally sounds like a fad gym or gay night club.

ABCDE sounds closer to "obesity" than "ab-city".

Still, picking on a kid is just low.

the employee was really dumb for doing that in front of the family but the mother is clearly a horrible parent for naming her kid something so dumb

---

When you're so hungry for conflict that you name your kid the most nonsensical thing imaginable just to have an excuse to get in fights with people when they inevitably laugh

If I had a fucking nickel for every time I had someone fuck up a name as common and boring as mine, I wouldn't have to work.

I feel sorry for the kid because her mom is a douchebag who gave her a stupid non-name. Its one thing if you are given an old fashioned or unusual name. Its another thing entirely to purposely give your kid a shitty non-sensical name.

The airport employee was being shitty too.

Damn where were you when CE was in it's "Drumpf" phase

That was literally only a thing because he was making fun of Jon Stewarts original family name

Forget the airline employee. That is going to be a drop in the ocean when other kids in school start making fun of her name.

What kind of parent would give her such a stupid name that would affect her whole life?
---

That sounds simultaneously like a gym, and a rapper. Shout out to the homie, Ab-Soul.
---

At least name her Qwerty

honestly this is the moms fault

don't blame the employee one bit for making fun of idiots

True story:

I had a Dentist called Gay Coward.

And I met a sailor called Will Drown

haha! it's the first 5 letters of the alphabet in order! so quirky and creative!

Shouldnt have made fun of the kid, should have made fun of the parents for being fucking morons and naming their kid something stupid

Child has a dumb name. Period. The Mother should have known better...

Both the employees and the mom are shit in this situation.

I get wanting to name your kid a unique name, but ABCDE isn't the most creative or insightful way of going about it.

All names are fake. Just because someone has a traditional name doesn't mean it wasn't made up. It was just made up a longer time ago.

If she's this butthurt about overhearing someone talk about the dumb name she gave her kid, just wait until that kid starts school

Yeah If I ever read a resume and the name was listed as abcde it would be in the trash immediately

The name is an odd one to say the least but not nearly as bad as some of the other names out there. The airline employees were way out of line though

Well its not like you can tell from the name

It's an objectively stupid name.

The parent is more at fault. Fair next that the employee is getting in trouble, but wtf is wrong with the parent for naming their child that stupid name. They are begging for this shit to happen. Along with bullying in school.
---

A) Making fun of a customer's kids' names is a very obvious no go.
B) That being said, that mom should be used to people mocking her kid's horrible name by this point.
---

Never make fun of a person for having a shitty name unless they purposely changed their name to that.

Instead, absolutely humiliate their parents for cursing their child with such a shitty name to start with.

What are the most common names in Sweden? Gustav or Muhammad or something along those lines?

Erik. There were 3 or 4 Eriks in my class in school. A class of fewer than 30. We'd call them either by a nickname or by their last name to tell them apart.
