Ok, here's the situation.
Everyone has started asking "So, what are some names you've picked out, your babe's due in 3 months!"
I tell them one or two of the names.
Then they proceed to tell me my child will be teased forever and ever because of the name, which happens to be original (my husband invented it).
Last time I checked my friend "Elizabeth" was teased, and was called "LizardBreath". Even common names get made fun of...
What makes the unusual name such a target? Much more, why do people actually think that by telling us our child will be teased, that we are going to take their word for it, and pick a different name?
