      Yep! Teachers are notorious for pronouncing names how they are spelt, so every "day one" of row call she has during her life, all her classmates are going to hear how it is spelt and then it is all downhill from there! (Teachers will probably bash the parents and their name choice to each other!) It might not be till 2nd-3rd grade but kids are ruthless! Everyone in this lady's life knows how important this name is to her so of course nobody wants to be the bad guy except for OP! Her deflecting that it is OP who is the problem will only hurt herself and the kid!

      Right! She is delusional! She is told her daughters name is close to an actual real word pronounced differently then they are saying it and her thoughts were to deflect and call OP a bad friend! "Your mind is in the gutter! and that speaks more about YOU then ME!" is literally what the MIL in story 2 was trying to do when it was obvious it affected her more then OP. Same here she just wants to deny her poor name choice and making it out that OP is the problem is how these emotionally stunted people work.

      Even more especially considering the fact that it has ample opportunities for good nicknames

      Okay I'm starting to get irritated seeing all these comments saying basically the same thing that the parents are bad people from either having the name or not noticing it when first of all it's not spelled the same way and it's not pronounced the same way so literally you can only find anything dirty in it if you look into it and everybody thinks he's going to be bullied in school when how many people are going to actually know the exact spelling and then also know the spelling of whatever inappropriate s*** they want to compare it to. Like seriously. If there is going to be bullying even in the middle school I think we should be more concerned about the parents of the people who know enough to bully somebody else over that , I mean cuz what life experience are they living where they know the spelling and sounds of all these words that move kids for 12 to 13 really shouldn't have any business being that familiar with. And like how many kids even know the spelling of random kids names unless they're friends and if their friends should probably won't be bullied for that.
      If there is going to be bullying it's probably not going to be till high School.
      And all the comments saying about an accidental name that is not spelled nor pronounced like a dirty word but can still be made to sound like one if you're stretching is going to cause a no contact with the parents in the future seem a bit ridiculous like who is actually going no contact with their parents over their freaking name spelling choices. I mean if a child hates their name enough to not speak to their parents about it they're perfectly capable of just getting their name legally changed then if the parents threw a hissy fit you can go no contact. But seriously it seems like all the comments are massively overreacting.
      Not to mention it wasn't even the name of the accident in two or anything or just thought would sound cool it's an actual name that significant a combination of parent names which happens all the time and is therefore more acceptable reason for having the name in the first place.
      But I understand how the parents would have missed it considering again not spelling and not pronounced the same way so you kind of have to be trying to make it into a dirty joke to come up with it like the friends did, well everybody else who doesn't have their mind in the gutter just thought it was pretty and didn't notice.

      The US for the most part has very little or no restrictions/laws on baby naming. Protected by free speech and all that. Many states (though not all) do have some laws but if someone had the money, time and will to fight it, they would likely win eventually. Of course in really extreme circumstances something could be done on other grounds. You may have the right to name your kid whatever you want but you do not have the right to abuse your kid so if it can be shown that the name is abusive, there might be legal means to do something about it.

They are upset about it and are desperate to blame the OP for giving them the knowledge that their name is VERY close to a word that refers to either an intimate act OR a very uptight person.
    "I didn't even KNOW it was similar to that word until my phone autocorrected it. Don't shoot the messenger." is the only option at that point, and if they do not stop being so anal about the name it's best to stop being friends.
    Don't know why they HAD to be the precise names though, coulda gone for a name combo that SOUNDS the same as their spelling, but with normal names. Anne or Ann instead of Anna, and Lee, Leigh, Lea, Lia or something for the second part of her name. It'd still SOUND like both mothers' names were used that way but the spelling would be less capable of inciting bullying.

    This kid's parents are going to ruin their lives naming her like that. I've grown up with several people who were named poorly and had it rough, but this is on another level. The amount of hardship they will endure because of this, and the resentment to follow.

    If the mother really didn't notice anything weird with those names, someone definitely affected that name choice. "Rheam"? Really? Just switch it to Allyanna and if Anna throws a hissyfit, tell her to f*** off. Well, I hope she's ready for the drama some years later when the daughter comes home crying from school day after day.

I was told when she passed out after giving birth that the baby's father went to sign the birth certificate but forgot how to spell, so when she finally woke up to feed the baby and saw the the baby name tag on the hospital crib, she was angry.

    Last story: I’ve got a feeling that the friend is aware on some level that the name is going to cause her kid problems and get her bullied but she is doubling down on it to avoid accepting being wrong cuz all she cares about in this moment is her own feelings. She shouldn’t be surprised when her kid eventually cuts contact with her and changes her name once she is able to do so.

    Edit: hopefully someone else close to the parents will point this out and get the name changed…Also they could just add an n to the end of the name and it would be better. Annallyn isn’t great but I didn’t automatically think NSFW when I see it

    Kids will go to great lengths to find a way to make fun of someone's name. For example, my sister would call me "Jennifer Hennifer the Big Fat Pennifer" (which is completely ridiculous, of course). What that lady named her daughter is an easy win for any kid who's even mildly annoyed by her. Bullies will love it.

    Story 3: Hopefully poor little Annally Rheam will be able to force a name change through the court the way _"Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii"_ did (yes, that whole mouthful was her name - she got it changed at age 9.)
    Giving children names like that should be considered child abuse and a prosecutable offense, with a huge fine proportional to your income/networth to really make being a narcissistic jerk naming their kids like that hurt. I'm not saying we should go full Denmark with picking names from a prescribed list (their list has 18,000 female and 15,000 male names, so there are definitely plenty of options) but to at least do your due diligence when coming up with something that you wouldn't name your dog, much less a human being.
    ...And as I'm the type of person who would name my dog Scissors (so I could say "I like to run with Scissors"), I'm saying there is a lot of leeway, but let's not give kids names that would get them bullied. Being a kid is hard enough without bad parents' naming choices to make it harder.

    What is it about so many people that they just seem to completely forget what being a child is like?
    Even normal names get mocked relentlessly. Like... I'm a Richard. We all know the mockery I got starting in 4th grade. I'm 34 & people still think it's clever or that I'm unaware.
    But just HANDING children a name like this to mock? That's incredibly unintelligent.
    I vetoed so many names before we chose 1 for my son. Half of them I didn't like the sound or etymology, but the other half she'd text me while at work & I'd just text back an easy way for it to be used to bully him. She never fought back against the latter kind of vetoes.
    Use your brains. Don't torture your own children like this.
    Edit: Middle school & high school are going to be hell. She won't use the name in college or beyond. She'll do whatever she can to prevent people from knowing that's her real name & she'll likely pronounce it Anna-lee.

Someone that's gonna grow up one day and be an adult. Someone that's gonna go to school, someone that's going to get a driver's license and an ID. That kid is going to have the worst childhood ever. I hope her mom finally sees reason and changes the name before it's too late.

    No, no. OP in Story 3 WAS being a real friend. Real friends don't always agree with you. Real friends openly communicate and aren't afraid to bring up concerns about each other. And someone had to be brave enough to say it. At least she did it privately over the phone rather than tell all their other friends about it.
    That mom is gonna regret cutting her friend off when her daughter gets bullied in school. She had her chance.

    To be frank though, children and even youths will always find something to bully about, no matter what. Sometimes it's easier to teach your kids to fight than it is to try and predict/prevent.
    Edit for grammer and to add: This story's particular case, however, is also why it's important to make sure your kids are not sheltered. No one who grows up with the English language should reach their adulthood without knowing that "anally" is a word.

    Honestly the most important thing to do when picking a name for a child is sit there with your spouse and figure out ways your child could be bullied for any names your considering. If it's easy for you to find ways to do it, it'll be even easier for kids to do.
    Picking a name that can't be easily made fun of is so important.
