I believe in Beato.
Even when she's driving.

I wish more parents would think about how the name they think is so cool or quirky or deeply meaningful to them in them in the moment will affect their kid in the future. Name based bullying can be intense.

When I was around 12 my uncle was having a kid and actually got some of the older cousins together to run some of their chosen names by us to see how kids would react. Some of the names absolutely invited bullying and lovely nicknames or rhymed with something rude. He took those names off their list.

It's not just the first and/or middle name that should be considered, but how it goes with the last name. For example, neither name, or nickname derivatives thereof, should ever rhyme with the last name. The kid will end up with insults in the form of rhyming couplets that are easily chanted by the entire class.

WIBTA for wanting my funeral to happen BEFORE I die

I don't know... I think I'd rather have people piss on my grave than piss on me while in bed at the hospice.
