(7,399 posts)I lean liberal on names.
I am trying to understand democrats who condemn Abcde as a name choice.
I think of Democrats as liberal-leaning people, who lean-in to freedom but the naming debate has me me doubt my assessment.
I think the rising tide of unique and/or unusual names is a positive thing, not a negative. I note that millennial generation is driving the rise in the unusual names and it makes sense to me because in the internet age the unusual can be positive in identifyng an individual- in helping one stand out from the crowd.
To me, there is a lot of projection going on. There has been no indication in any news reports that the child is bothered or has been bullied due to her hame except for this one airline incident. I have seen no evidence that the mother behaved toward the airline in other than a reasonable, patient or professional manner. Yet so many post condemn the parent and, without any evidence, impute selfish or evil motives.
