[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP is right. Kids can be cruel and may make fun of the kid's name.[/b] And no doubt that the teachers will continuously mispell and mispronounce his name as he grows up. It will definitely be a hassle for him. One that parents don't often realize. My kids have ethnic name based on our heritage. Although they go by more American names, their birth certificate says otherwise. They hate it as their teachers always mispronounce and mispell their names. Living in DC doesn't make a difference.[/quote]

Each and every one of you can f*ck right off with this racism disguised as concern, on the same board that gushes over Aoife and Caoimhe.  [/quote]

Yes, I agree that the many Black educational and medical professionals and kids who would constantly mispronounce my kids Middle Eastern names and joke about it were indeed racist. It wasn't just White people who were rude.

If my husband and I had a chance to redo, we would've changed their names on their birth certificate. I spent hours having to submit and redo paperwork to prove my kids identity because staff kept misspelling their names so their IDs and medical/educational records didn't match.

It’s about $500 to change one certificate [/quote]
