Twitter Thread: Kids Trying And Failing At Hard Names


It's not very intuitive for a 3-year-old to grasp that another kid's name can be England. He only knows like 30 words anyway. That's how you end up with a kid coming home and saying they just met a new friend named Eggplant. And since kids can be pretty confident about this sort of thing, they'll defend their decision with tooth and nail, insisting that it's completely reasonable that a parent would name their kid Eggplant.

The parents of Twitter shared their similar experiences when their own children insisted on meeting a peer with a name like "Dumpster" or "Harmonica." And honestly, with all the Kelvyns and MacKeighleighs running around, it's getting harder and harder to know if your kid is mistaken, or if some parent out there really did name their child "Chaos."

For another thrilling episode of millennial fandom baby names, here's the joker of a coworker who named their kid after their fandom and then criticized a woman for doing the same.
