You Name Your Daughter Abcde and You Expect No Ridicule?

Yes, in our enlightened age people shouldn’t blink about anything. Right?

It doesn’t work that way, mom. If you name your daughter absurdly, you’re going to experience some repercussions.

Thisisinsider-

Traci Redford, whose daughter’s name is Abcde (pronounced “AB-si-dee”), said a gate agent for Southwest Airlines working at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, mocked the young girl.

The incident happened a few weeks ago when the family was flying home to El Paso, Texas. Because Abcde has epilepsy, they were preboarding the plane.

Redford said that was when she overheard a staff member making fun of Abcde.

“The gate agent started mocking my child’s name, laughing, pointing at me and my daughter — and I’m talking to other employees, so I turned around and just said, ‘Hey, I can hear you, so if I can hear you, my daughter can too — I’d appreciate if you’d just stop,” Redford told ABC7.

The employee reportedly posted a picture of Abcde’s boarding pass on social media, too.

  2. That fucked-up name is exacerbating her daughter’s epilepsy.
    She will have a lifetime of mockery, laughter and stress aimed at her, due to her stupid mother. Who knows what will trigger an epileptic episode?

  3. You name your kid something screwy to get attention. Like that couple that wanted to name their kid Hitler.

    Abcde’s mother gets an F in parenting.

    Somehow I’m picturing the nurse filling out the birth certificate scrunching her nose and thinking “da fuq?”

  6. Both people are wrong here.

    Does the mother deserve ridicule for the child’s name for the rest of her life?
    Absolutely.

    Should a stinking Southwest Airline ticket agent be providing that ridicule in public?
    No.

  8. When naming a child, remember that that child will write that name on a job application in 20 years, and a mortgage application in 30. If you believe in the existence of institutional racism, don’t give your child a name that might indicate their race, such as Latrina, Uniqua or La-a.

    If you must give your child a unique name never seen before in history in any language, please learn enough about English rules of pronunciation so that ignorant honkies can pronounce it, or at least teach your children not to be so offended when an ignorant substitute teacher can’t pronounce it right.

  13. Poor kid is in for a life of ridicule, all because her idiot of a mother wanted to give her precious snowflake a “unique” name that in her infinite stupidity she prolly thought was clever and edgy. The kid supposedly asked her mother why they were laughing at her name. Get used to it, kiddo, you are only 5 and haven’t started school yet. You are in for a rough ride in school. ( SOURCE: had a mother who thought it would be great to bestow upon me a unpronounceable foreign name.)

  16. Never name a child anything that cannot be found on key chain. Kerri? No. Trish? No. Nacho? Hell, no. You’d be better off with Waukesha and Sheboygan. NOT! What the hell is wrong with these people?

  20. “I still lmao when I hear Barack Hussein Obama”

    …well @WDS, it’s not like its Barry Soetoro’s LEGAL name anyway, since he NEVER actually went through the process of ACTUALLY changing it. He just kind of started using it, so that makes even the first sentence of his Oath of Office a complete lie.

    In any case, because HE chose it for HIMSELF after she was dead, you can’t hang THAT one on his slut mother, regardless of the pile of shit she made of him otherwise…

  27. Sometimes, stupid people let the hospital name their kid. Like the dumb ass who saw the bracelet on her newborn baby’s wrist and said, “Female’ – I like that name…”
    (pronounced FEE-MAH-LAY)

  29. I don’t mind the name so much as the pronunciation. I would have been a charitable gate agent and taken a stab with “Alphabet” or “Alphie’ for short…

    No… no… I can’t do this. It reminds me of the time I tried to rub a coffee stain shaped birthmark off the face of a small child. Man, I was wiping her face so hard I thought it would burst into flames.

    Thankfully her parents didn’t speak a word of English so I didn’t have to explain myself.

    I resigned my position at Disneyland shortly thereafter.

  31. I can’t stand the parents already. If they must name the child abcde, why not make it the middle name? Or write it so that it would be said like it is read? Is it so that they can bitch and sue when a person is struggling to read it? They’re either dumb or attention whores.

    Also, the airline employee should have just waited til they went passed instead of talking about them RIGHT THEN.

    So, I’m gonna have to rule all 3 of them jerks.

  32. The wonderful wife and I were just discussing this.
    For years we heard the “Don’t identify the race in police reporting, that’s racist!”.
    Then some people turn around and self ID with a name.
    La-A says: “De dash don’t beez silent.”.

  35. The teacher looked at the class roster and saw the name L-A. He asked how to pronounce it. The student stared at him indignantly was said “It’s just like it’s spelled: ‘el dash ah’!

  39. any parent that gives their children stupid names should have the courage to change their own names to something ‘attention-grabbing edgy’ & learn what it feels like before inflicting unnecessary pain on their own children

  41. Even the sanctuary citizens of El Paso (where the idjit mom resides) think she’s a kook for naming her kid with that ridiculous name. And yes, the mom IS the village idiot that everyone mocks.

  42. Mrs. Guevara said the Social Security Administration confirmed that there are around 330 people with the name Abcde in the US.

    However, she knows someone whose mother named her Twatletta so there’s that.

    I used to work for a background checking company and I can’t tell you how many Margaritas, Tequilas and Chardonnays I saw with wildly varying spellings.

  43. The poor kid will think she’s being called on ever time someone recites the alphabet. Talk about “triggered”. She’ll face a lifetime of ridicule worse than the TSA idiots. Her parents are asinine.

  47. This story pissed me off beyond reason. They threw in the bit about epilepsy after the fact to gain sympathy for the dipshit mother.

    The child’s epilepsy was not brought up, just the ridiculous name.

    The child’s diagnosis is not leverage, but I’m betting Attention Whore Mom has used it as such before.
