Apparently that was not a bright idea.

Ah yes, daily mail reporting on a Reddit post as fact.

Can't wait for the WSJ to start reporting on 9gag posts.

Reminds me of someone who suggested naming your daughter Mayonnaise. You'd call her May, and everyone would know her as that and not suspect it was a short form, but she'd go through life knowing she was named after a condiment.

Priest: Do you, Shaide, take Mayonnaise Mustard Ketchup as your lawfully wedded wife?

'On a more serious note yes, you messed up, but since you commented that daughter dislikes being called [Shaide] and wants to change names, I feel like if you help with the costs/bureaucracy she may forgive you more easily.'

This is a fair comment, tbh.

It would be highly inappropriate for a boy named Josh or a girl named Jessica to expect such a demand but, yeah, if you go out on a limb naming your kid and they've regretted it their whole life, it might be a nice gesture to smooth things over to pay the fees for delousing their name.

Not that I know of, sadly

I guess you could say the daughter took a dim view of the decision... I'll see myself out.
