I would love to see a gold collection of names that would be prime laughing stock on the playground. Some that I have come across:
[name_m]Tucker[/name_m] - fucker of course
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f]- I moan backwards
[name_m]Cooper[/name_m]- pooper
[name_m]Ryder[/name_m] - ride her, great fun for teens
[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] - soy sauce anyone?
[name_f]Angelica[/name_f] - what if they’re more like a demon than an angel
[name_u]Devon[/name_u] - the little devil
[name_m]Harry[/name_m] - the poor hairy one
Please share any you suggest staying away from. Maybe a little look at the previous signature will give you some ideas.
I dunno, not many people go around spelling each other’s name backwards… I knew a litte [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] a while back and no one ever would have come up with “I moan”.
Always disliked [name_m]Ryder[/name_m], though.
Yeah, these are definitely playground insults. I don’t think anyone beyond the age of 10 would think to rhyme [name_m]Cooper[/name_m] with pooper. I have my fair share of names that I think are cruel to bestow upon a child personally, but this is just mean spirited and juvenile.
I do think there are some names that shouldn’t be used because they’re easily teasable, but I think you’re over-analyzing. I’m not saying I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] all the names on your list, but none of those would be my first reaction. I think that you’re digging a bit too deep into the name. (Where did you get devil from [name_u]Devon[/name_u] and soy sauce from [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]?) [name_m]Just[/name_m] because the name has a similar sound doesn’t make it automatically teasable.
[name_f]Gaye[/name_f]/[name_u]Gay[/name_u] is the one that immediately springs to mind. School children (especially middle schoolers) would endlessly torment a peer whose name was [name_f]Gaye[/name_f].
[name_u]Devon[/name_u] and [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] are names I have come across actually being called soy sauce and devil. That’s why I included them. This was just something that crossed my mind when reading another thread and was curious of other peoples thoughts.
[name_f]Every[/name_f] name can be bullied, kids are really mean sometimes.
[name_f]Babe[/name_f]/[name_u]Baby[/name_u]
[name_f]Kitty[/name_f]
[name_f]Sissy[/name_f]
[name_f]Nastya[/name_f]
[name_m]Dino[/name_m]
Growing up, there was only one child who was teased for their name, and it was a girl named [name_f]Megan[/name_f] who carried a little extra weight. Everyone called her [name_f]Meggy[/name_f]-moo. If kids want to be mean it doesn’t really matter what your name is (or how bullet proof you think it is to teasing).
[name_u]Lexi[/name_u]- s*xy
[name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f]- opposite of [name_f]Heaven[/name_f]
[name_f]Heaven[/name_f]- what if thy’re terrible
[name_u]Angel[/name_u]- what if they’re not
[name_m]Ryder[/name_m]- what you said
Honestly, most that you listed aren’t even bad. I’m sure some 6 year olds are gonna think of “I moan” and “Soy sauce”
