But I know a Perri who's been teased her entire life about being Perri the Pear, and she's graduating from high school now. This has gone on since she was in preschool.

I also know a Mercedes who was teased mercilessly about her name until she got in a fistfight to solve the problem. Now she's avoided because people think she's violent and unstable.

I realize the names were names before they were products, but they will inevitably invite teasing and that is something every parent must take into account before saddling the child with a name.
