Well, I can't help what others think themselves. That's why I find it so saddening that people really are that well judgmental, and if I dare say closed-off to different names or styles. It shouldn't matter what the person's name is really when what really matters is the person themselves. I don't get
why people think it's okay to make fun of others weather it be their name, or what have you. It's cruel, and it saddening that majority of society is like this. There would be no teasing, mocking, rude comments, etc if people were more accepting about names, and taught to respect others.
Having an unusual name (
Hazel even on a boy) doesn't mean automatic teasing, it
could, yes, but more often then not it usually is deeper then that (I do think that
Hazel might encounter teasing yes, but people survive it). If it is only based on a name then it just shows how the person making fun truly is in the inside. Yes, sometimes certain names are funny, but go out of your way to make a person feel ashamed to have that name is disheartening.
That's why when I have children I'll explain you always respect people, and it's not a person's name that matters weather it's
Joseph or
Diamond it matters how they are as a person, and what they are on the inside. I can only do what's right for me, and my kids of course I don't want my kids to be teased, but I can't stop that if they are going to be even if my son's name is
Hazel or
Edward.
wow that was long, lol :)
