Baby names and bullying

Did you consider if your baby's name had any bad connotations or could be used to bully them? Our #1 name right now is Arthur, with Art as a nickname, but we are absolutely sure at some point some kid (and/or adult) is going to call him Fart. Worried that will stick and he'll get called Fart. Idk wether to laugh or cry 😅

Sorry but this made me laugh😂😂😂😂😂 I wouldn’t think as deep as that with a normal name like Arthur🙈 however I did think it with my possible girls name Belle, absolutely loved it but always knew everyone would call her bellend 😅 turns out I’ve got two boys anyway😂 Artie is cute tho, I know an Arthur who gets called Artie x

Girl my daughters initials are MFS I think you’re good😂😭 and yes I noticed well before I landed on the name for sure, but truthfully we’re in a world where if someone wants to bully or make fun of someone they are going to do it no matter what precautions were taken.

People/kids can turn ANY name into something to use to bully them. So go with a name that feels right for your LO. Art is so cute 🥰 This is also why we didn’t tell anyone our potential names until our baby was born- didn’t want opinions/ people telling us that they could make a silly name and the “are You sureee?” would have annoyed me. It’s already hard enough naming a human haha

@Ashley just looked on your profile and honestly meadow is beautiful🤩

We called our little girl Evangeline and we shorten it to Evi (pronounced like Ev-e). No bullying to be made from Evi itself but my sister already said “oh you’re getting heavy Evi” which rhymes. As already said, any name can be made fun of. Whether it’s the name itself or adding a rhyme etc, someone will find a way

As comments above, if its possible to be rhymed with, it likely will be...my little girl is called Hattie and my 5 year old nephew went through a stage when they were doing rhyming at school of calling her bratty Hattie

@Ebony Rose hahah! Thank you!
