The kid's gonna get ridiculed.

I'd hope not.
I know what it's like to be ridiculed because of your name
It's no fun.

Re: Should parents be able to name their kids whatever they want?

A while ago, I heard some woman named their kid John Karkat.

No joke.

Anyway, I think that parents should be civilized with their names and not give them extremely weird exotic (or alien  roll ) names.

Figure out the initials.

That kids nickname will be Donkey, I'm guessing.

Another word for donkey, yes.

Yes, unless is it a sexist, racist, or otherwise discriminating name.

Yes, but there are some names they shouldn't call their kids.

What if the parents name their kid [removed] or [removed]! I would have to say no.

(No, a Moderator didn't edit this!)

Well if the parents don't, who will? Otherwise they'd just be called numbers or something...

Hahaha! I just thought of something.

Father: 21hd235df134, it's time for breakfast.

Kid: (Counts on his fingers) Dad! I'm 21hd23df135! You keep getting me confused!

Father: Sorry. I forgot your name.

Probably just me being stupid, but I don't see what's wrong with that name?...

I just thought of something. What about the the droids on Star Wars? I don't get confused with them. C3PO, R2D2, R4P17, Ect.
