Some parents opt for original first names for their children. Fortunately, sometimes they change their minds, saving their offspring many years of teasing…
Picking out a name for her child is not always simple… And some people prefer opt for originality in order to stand out from others. However, this can lead to sometimes unusual situations, but above all lead to serious consequences for kids. It is, in fact, essential to find out whether the chosen name has any meaning or bizarre connotation. A user reported, on a community site, a situation that would certainly have been problematic for a newborn.
A story whose Mirror echoed this Wednesday, September 28. The netizen, whose handle is @skippyist, explained: “My classmate’s mother was a midwife. She a couple who wanted to name their son Collin, but wanted to give him a ‘unique’ spelling‘”. The young parents then had the idea of replacing the “i” with an “o” and removing an “l”. The first name chosen was… “Colon”. “They spelled it out for her to put on the COLON birth certificate”she continues before adding, they tried to call their son colon. Like the organ attached to your anus.“ The midwife would then have intervened to try to dissuade the couple to do this by explaining to them the meaning of the word settler. “They were terribly embarrassed and asked him to write it with the normal spelling instead”reports the Internet user.
