Another thread about unusual / strange / cruel names given to children

[polksaladallie]

The teacher in my family has a boy in the class who is named BOSS.  So, when he indicates that he wants to answer or ask something, the teacher has to say "Yes Boss".   Sticks in the craw somewhat.  My opinion is the naming of that boy is quite cruel.

In the same school, there is a girl named UNEEK.

Then there are celebrities' babies and their names.  They, perhaps, will not be pilloried as much as others, but it is still unkind in my opinion.

I was engaged to a guy when I was young......... he had an unfortunate surname, so when discussing the "future" and children, I asked him if he would consider changing his surname slightly for the sake of our future children......

His reaction was way more than I expected, to my simple request.......

The engagement was not a long one.

Sounds a bit odd..

Looking back, do you think you might have had a lucky escape?
