I had a woman today whose daughter needed medical attention. I asked her what her daughter's name was and she said "I'll spell it for you." My first thought was "You're a failure as a parent." And then she spelled it "N-E-V-A-E-H" My second thought was "If something's backwards, it's kind of the opposite of what it originally was. Congratulations, your daughter won't even have to take a stage name when she becomes a stripper."
How do you even pronounce that? All I can think of is basically saying "never" in the most authentic retard voice I can muster.
Pronounce it Neigh-Vee-Ahh. It’s the kind of name you’d give you daughter. If you lived in Constantinople.
I’ve heard that so many times I don’t even consider it uncommon. And the parents all think they’re so original for “coming up with it.” Nah LaTrysha, you’re just a fucking idiot.
I see it more among white trash. You know, the types who wear bejeweled jeans with crosses on the back pockets and terrible dye jobs. You know these people.
When I was a kid, there was a girl at school whose last name was Diamond. Her first name was Precious. Her middle name was Jewel. I don’t feel bad about posting her name online, because it’s really just a collection of words about pretty rocks.
Actually... it’s a collection of stripper names connected like Voltron into a single, super-stripper name. She’ll be smoking cigarettes by the time she’s six years old.

“‘Cause I’m the motherfucker who named you Marijuana” just doesn’t work as well in a song. To he honest, I stopped wondering why people from certain ethnic backgrounds name their kids certain things, because the answer is always that I’m racist.
I once dated a hairdresser who's daughter was named Nevaeh. She fit the stereotype. Sparkly jeans, hair dyed to the nines, too much time in the tanning booth, dumb as shit. At least she didn't have the "let me speak to your manager" haircut. In my defense she was ridiculously hot and fucked like a porn star, and I was young and stupid enough where I was inept at spotting obvious red flags. It lasted up until the point where I found out that she thought it was okay to fuck other guys, as long as I didn't find out. Not too long ago I saw her daughter, who is in her late teens, and it's safe to say that the cycle will repeat itself.
She dedicated so much of her life to overcome the name she was given, just to prove it wasn't an obstruction. OK, sure... it didn't stop you from getting a PhD in "my name doesn't stop me", but in reality, it was a huge fucking diversion from something else that she could have done instead. If she didn't have such a shitty name that she needed to prove it to the world, imagine what else she could have done with all that time and effort.
I will never understand the disservice people do to their children by giving them stupid fucking names. You’re essentially setting them up for complete failure.
Nope, I'm pretty much right there with you. All that time, effort, and money, to have a joke degree so people can call her "Doctor".
Anybody who names their son Leslie should be thrown in jail for child abuse. Only one man in history overcame that name. You may as well name him “Fag” and sew bullseyes on the buttcheeks of his jeans.
I just remembered I've met a guy named Shirley. I went to draw his blood and when I saw an old man in the bed I did a double take at the order. He knew exactly what I was thinking as I stood there and said, "Yep, that's me." Best was when he told me there was another guy in the next town over, also named Shirley.
Had dinner with Arthur Blank’s former #2 at Home Depot tonight. This guy had a billion dollar transportation budget. JFC I thought I had stress.
