Don’t name your children ridiculous things.
I work in higher education, and y’all would not believe some of the names of some kids out there. I’m talking about names that don’t exist in the real world, names people completely made up, names that are straight up NOT REAL and NOT SUITABLE for your child. It’s become a joke in our office (as well as a source of entertainment), really, and if I could do three things to improve my sanity in relation to working with high school students, I would encourage schools to mandate penmanship classes, teach children the dos and don’ts of picking an e-mail address, and create a guide to how to name your child without making up names. Seeing this article gives me a little hope that maybe, just maybe, parents will cease and desist with ridiculous names.
(Yes, I’m aware that the names Yahoo! targets are all fairly normal if unpopular, but I seriously doubt some of the names I’ve encountered are all that popular.)
