Help[Opinions] Re: Well, good for her.
in reply to a message by BrilliantBlue
Actually, I disagree that they will "inevitably" invite teasing. I think if a Mercedes, Lorna, or Reuben are happy, well-adjusted, reasonably attractive kids who fit in well with their peers that there would be little to no teasing. If someone is being teased about their name, it's because there's something else about them that invites teasing. Especially Perri? That's a perfectly normal name. If other kids wanted to call Perri Perri Pear, they had deeper reasons for doing so.
Just the fact that the Mercedes you know solved the teasing problem with physical violence indicates that there were deeper issues that induced her peers to be cruel to her. I'm not saying she deserved it, by the way.
I knew a few kids in high school with strange or unattractive names who were never teased about them because they fit the description above.
