So the last six months my wife and I have been working as paramedic/nurse respectively in refugee camps in Greece, started as volunteers last summer and then accepted jobs with the organization we were with. We work mainly in camps with Kurdish and Syrian populations but we've worked in a Yazidi camp too. Anyway, a friend of mine from back home in America where my wife is from posted this link on my facebook wall where a lot of refugees who're my friends can see it which is what incensed me the most.
It was posted as a 'how can you even be over there helping these animals kinda thing'

I responded with a long rant deconstructing it, we talked it out in the comments and she apologized and then I apologized and it kinda worked out. Except now her husband is messaging me raging about me yelling at his wife and being childish for throwing her under the bus in public. It's the typical evangelical housewife and overly possessive husband who never liked us being friends in the first place (she and my wife met through a volunteer org in the states) but Jesus Christ I'm glad I'm out of America.

The doubling down got more backlash than the original comic. Sometimes you just have to accept that when shittier and shittier people are joining your banner then you're losing even if you weren't totally in the wrong to begin with.

I've seen some weird names in recent years. One that stood out was Thomas T. Thomas.

The T. didn't stand for anything. It had something to do with his mother really wanting to marry a guy named Thomas and have a son named Thomas or something.

Yeah, exactly. PA had a similar thing where Gabe (I think?) made an off-hand comment about a very odd game teaching women about their bodies - that inccured an absolute ton of backlash due to perceived trans phobia. I think they were smart enough to keep their mouth shut that time though.

As far as I know, La-a and Oranjello and Lemonjello are urban legands, but Abcde exists. The poor kid not only has Abcde as a name, but she has autism and Santa wouldn't meet with her and her service dog.

That's my point. People concoct these scenarios where having an oddly spelled name is going to ruin your life somehow and it just doesn't. Everyone spells my name wrong the first time (and often every subsequent time too) and it's just not an issue.

Same with the "weird names lead to bullying" thing. I've never seen any evidence of that at all, but a whole lot of people are absolutely convinced that it's a huge problem.

I just wanted to say that you and your spouse are awesome for working and volunteering in the refugee camps. And good job calling out your friend's idiocy. One would HOPE that hearing about the displaced people who are suffering, and seeing the good work that you are doing, these people back home would be more supportive and have gained some sympathy.

You are good people, thank you!

But names can lead to bullying. I know I was made fun of for having an uncommon name at the time (top 100 name, but less popular than Gerald and Wayne). Maybe kids had less stuff to occupy their time with back then, but you were definitely given poo poo for different names.

Perhaps the Jaydens, Aydens, and Braydens blazed the trail for all those with unusual names and no one cares anymore.

There's a guy at work named Hardik. Best terrible name ever.

I think weird names just lead to rear end in a top hat kids. Never met an Ayden who wasn't a little poo poo. Then they just seem to vanish once they stop being kids. Or maybe they just change their names to something less awful.

Okay so Devan and I had a pretty difficult time picking out the name! I kind of thought we were never going to agree on one! I love unique names! My name is fairly unique and I loved never having to share a name with someone else in my school or work. Devan, on the other hand, likes unique but not too unique of a name.

At first we both liked (Devan actually loved) the name Taylee.. Then I did a little research and decided there are quite a few Taylee's out there and that it was too common of a name. So it was a no for the name Taylee.

Then I thought of the name McKarty.. Which I still absolutely LOVE this name, but sadly Devan literally HATED it! I tired and tried to talk him into it! Then I figured I couldn't name her something that he really didn't like, so out went the name McKarty.

Then we tried to combined both of our favorite names.. McKarty and Taylee and came up with Maylee. We both liked it but wasn't in love with the name.. So we kept thinking..

I know of a little girl named Nayvie and love the name! Devan actually liked it too! So for a minute we thought about naming her that but then decided it just wasn't suppose to be her name!

Then one day Devan came home from work and said he was drove past a sign that said "LAKIN" and asked what I thought about it. I actually LOVED the name! We both Loved it! YAY! I decided to change up the spelling a little bit to make it more of a girly name and that is how we came up with

LAKYNN!

The middle name just kind of seemed to go with it! There isn't any family meaning behind it, just a cute name we both liked! :)
