If anything kids will make fun of another kid's name if it can be mocked with a similar sounding word. The name itself isn't what causes the mocking, it's just a means to do so.

THIS! When I was at primary school my name was (and still is) normal and boring as fuck. So the mean kids would tant me with shit that rhymed and try and piss me off that way. It didn't piss me off but I'd beat the shit out them anyway since they'd obviously gone to all the effort and it seemed rude not to.

I'm with Junkenstein. The only real thing I learned at school, that I couldn't have picked up on my own was - violence is the only 100% effective form of communication :lulz:
I had a similar time at highschool, except it took a decade before i got good at hurting people.

So they're forced to pick on each other for other reasons, which, of course, they do.
This is truth.

The people at the school I'm working with tell me they have more than one child named "Messiah" and nothing unusually bad seems to happen to them.
Q: How regularly do you hire 8th graders?
A: We have hired a number of FORMER 8th graders.

Well, all the hippy names went thru, if stuff like RainbowPrairieRiver are valid...

Weird that they're making him take the father's last name but whatever.

Also that's a really cute baby.

And Judge Ballew is a shitbean for putting the parents through this bullshit.
