I think the incidence of kids being picked on because of their names is the same as it's ever been. I don't think the new tradition of giving kids interesting or different names contributes or detracts from it. There are always going to be arsehole kids who've been brought up by arseholes to judge people just because of their name or what they look like. The world is full of arseholes. It always will be.

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.
