    PSA: Don’t name your child Telemachus, Dominykas or Ramdey.

    You’re dooming them to having to spell it out every time they have to give their name.

      My biggest thing with a lot of dumb baby names is that in the US, a lot of minorities, especially Black people, got so much shit for naming their kids like LaFawnda or Tyreese. All the whiteys were removed and saying they’re making their kids unemployable.

      Now white people are naming their kids using scrabble tiles that they had to fight other white people over like it was the last jar of mayonnaise

      As someone who does tax in London, these don’t seem that unusual to me anymore, I’m far more interested in names that sound funny in English, like Ting Lei Wang, that I had recently.
