On my birth certificate, they were classed as separate names because Roy was given to me after my uncle's name. However, it makes no difference because people see it just as LeeRoy. Over here it's considered a black pimp's name from 70's Harlem. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73796544 You're right. They are common names for sure, but at least it wont make you feel like an outcast. I could get my middle name 'Roy' removed by deed poll, but not really any point because the damage has already been done. I'm always the white guy mocked because of my 70's black pimp name. |

Over here it's considered a black pimp's name from 70's Harlem. I was born in America, moved to UK at 4 months old, I am a girl but if I was a boy my mom was gonna name me Jessie. Can you imagine the grief I would have gotten over there? I wound up being a girl, my dad wanted to name me guinevere, mom would have none of it, now I have a very vanilla name. Kristina. Thank god! What were my parents thinking? |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1764873 United Kingdom 01/17/2017 08:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I knew a child back in the day named Blueberry Sunshine. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73776152 She changed her name to Cathy when she was ten years old. Well, giving a kid a weird name - to come off as trendy and different - is in fact a very mindless act, and a form of child abuse. When that kid suffers constant abuse, it will turn into bitter and understandable resentment for the parent. |

I felt bad for him, but his sister, she had a normal name, thank God for her. I knew a guy named Ben Dover in high school, he actually had a spinal problem and always walked bent over. Poor guy. |

How we laughed when we realised that she was called Di Rear. Even Paul laughed. Then one day it dawned on him that his surname meant Arse, and the laughter stopped. Everything and Nothing Baloney is nothing but a sausage of pure shit. And I ALWAYS sign red karma. |

What were my parents thinking? Yeh, you dodged a bullet there, and got a nice name instead. My dad was a drunken retard, so obviously had no damn sense. I was also born in the late 70's when such a name was popular for a black Harlem pimp, AND he was a total racist. Such irony. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 42366314 Canada 01/17/2017 08:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know because my parents gave me a ridiculous name. I've abbreviated my name over the years, but wherever I go someone always seems to recognize me, other people find out my full name, then there is constant snickering. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1764873 I considered changing my name, but as the old saying goes, 'It doesn't pay to change your name' because someone will always recognize you and the laughter will erupt. You might think I'm being petty, but unless you've been on the receiving end of the jibes your whole life, then only then will you understand the constant headache it causes, not to mention making you feel like an outcast and a freak. I seriously implore you - if you're considering having kids - to NOT give them a weird name, otherwise you're going to have your child develop serious self esteem issues. Theres this guy at work. His parents last name is Case. Guess what they named him? |

Despite trying to explain to people that they are separate names, and only refer to myself as Lee, it didn't quite wash... someone, somewhere always calls me LeeRoy. |
