I'm all for being able to make your kid what you want, but I would definitely support a law in the US that stops you from being named these types of names that will get them bullied and picked on.
Whether it be Abcde or whatever the hell Ellon named his spawn, we could stand to have common sense naming laws to avoid the type of situation in this post going forward. And yes, I know it's probably in the UK because it's Daily Mail UK, but it's a problem worldwide if you ask me.
Or normalizing the practice of choosing your own name if you don't like yours. (though maybe that wouldn't work well for younger kids)
