This is true, but why give them ammunition? Why not give your kid a name that won't make them more of a target?
I love my daughter. I want her experience growing up to be a happy one. I don't want her to be haunted by an ugly or freaky name following her around. I don't want her to be teased, taunted, ridiculed, harassed, or bullied because of something like that. It's hard enough growing up without having to deal with that.
