[Opinions] I'm sorry to butt in...

Acting like people who don't like their given names are immature is really so unnecessary.
Of course it's not the end of the world having an unusual name (I personally wish I did...grass is greener, eh?), but the reason people tend to rail against your names is because the instant they see the names, they've picked up on about ten ways for Little Johnny to tease Little Neverending on the playground. I wouldn't drop a name just because of teasing potential (I can think of at least one way to tease Little Johnny!), but there are some names that are obviously going to be hard to bear. That's all people are saying.
