I'm Tired Of People Fucking Up My Name

One of the most special occurrences in the world is celebrating the birth of a new baby and with the mystery of gender all but eliminated by modern science, only one question remains. How will the parents name this brand new ambassador from the World Beyond this one? Some mommies and daddies exceed themselves in the creation of a unique gem of a name.

Then baby grows up, gets educated and enters the job market. Depending on just how creative the parents have been, baby may end up joining this Facebook group to give vent to a lifetime of fellow human beings not getting their beautiful name. Threads on the discussion board include 'STUPID RESPONSES YOU GET WHEN YOU TELL PEOPLE YOUR NAME', 'Spelling', 'Worst experience/embarrassing moment involving your name' and 'WHY DO THEY ALWAYS ADD A SYLLABLE???' It is sad in a way, that the 100,000 plus members of this group experience such frustration in instructing people in the proper use of their names, especially as some of them do have beautiful and very unique names.

What's great about this group: It vents the frustration experienced by people around the world who have been cursed with a more exotic name or surname.
