Lemmy doesn't detect sarcasm? It's in the tittle

[-] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 4 points 50 minutes ago* (last edited 47 minutes ago)

No fucking way. This is rage bait. Even if this dogshit name was truly her most cherished wish, there's no chance you willingly take someone's name and then go on and complain about your actions.

Fake.

Popular media is the worst place to find a name for your kid. Remember all the parents who named their daughters "Danerys," before she went insane in Season 8 and burned an entire city full of innocent people alive? I wonder how they feel about that choice now. That poor kid is doomed. You might as well give her a stripper name

[-] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Funny name. I giggled.

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 24 points 5 hours ago
[-] ScrotusMaximus@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

A perfectly cromulent name.

[-] mayhair@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 5 hours ago

Sub name is censored, but I can just tell that's r/namenerds.

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 105 points 23 hours ago

She won't get made fun of for sounding like Jessica Simpson...no will care, they'll be too busy making of "Blessica"

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 hours ago

And Blimpson. God help any of these.kids if they're overweight

[-] Ibaudia@lemmy.world 59 points 22 hours ago

I found the OP and their post got deleted, but the only comments she responded to were the supportive ones (maybe 1 or 2 out of dozens of "wtf is wrong with you" reactions).

The poster has a history dating back 2 years so I don't think it's a troll, or if it is it's convincing. I just can't believe anyone would actually want to name their kid fucking Blessica. Absolutely revolting name.

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

I agree about the name being horrible, but parents are going with more and more, let's just say 'unusual' names, spellings and pronunciations these days. I've got a Grandson named Charon. Socially, it hasn't really been a bonus for him.

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 6 points 1 hour ago

I’ve got a Grandson named Charon

Isn't that something from greek mythology? I swear there's something like that in greek mythology...

[-] woodenskewer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

You swear correctly. He is the boatman of the river Styx. He ferries souls to Hades in the afterlife if the individual was buried with the ferry toll. If they didn't have the ferry toll they'd be fated to wandering the banks of the river Styx for 100 years before they could cross.

I think it's a cool name. Apologies if this was intended sarcasm and it went over my head.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 hour ago

It's certainly several orders of magnitude better than Blessica...

Although mythological names are often cool, it's always worth researching fully. Loki may suddenly be super cool thanks to the MCU, but he still got fucked by a horse.

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 2 points 1 hour ago

Dang that's a pretty metal name for a kid. I can't decide if its terrible or brilliant

[-] woodenskewer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I enjoy the mythos around Charon. If you lived your life to the point where you didn't have a single person to care for you enough to make a small payment in your name (think 2 pennies), you suffer the fate of merely waiting. He's like a minimalist renown filter of sorts. It's like a judge of character, so to speak, based on what others would do for you when you can't act.

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

Imo, Charon's actually a cool name

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

He ran the ferry boat across the Styx to the underworld and had a 3 headed dog..........

[-] woodenskewer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Cerberus was next in line to the house of Hades, but Charon was not his master. Hades was.

[-] webadict@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Eh, the kid could have worse, and it seems pretty fitting for the name's origins.

If you think of children as blessings, and want to change an existing name a little -- in this case, Jessica -- it makes sense. The first recorded instance of Jessica is from Shakespeare, who could've changed the biblical Iesca (Jeska) to Jessica by mixing Jesse into it (or making Jesse into a woman's name... or other potential origins like the word jess being turned into a name.) And you consider Bless to be a name (though rather unpopular), so it wouldn't even be particularly odd for the name.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

The kid could've been named "Anna" which also means blessing. She wanted to call her blessica because she was blessed to have her. Which yeah - just go with Anna

[-] Hikermick@lemmy.world 166 points 1 day ago

It's a child not a vanity plate

thanks to my husband

It's all my husband's fault that I want to curse my child with a shitty name. How they go through life doesn't matter to me. They're my creation, and what I want is all that matters.

What the actual fuck. Just name your kid Paisley if you don't care about their experience after they leave your body. Whether kids know who Jessica Simpson is or not, you're giving your kid a stupid name. They will correctly hate you for it.

[-] frostysauce@lemmy.world 37 points 21 hours ago

Paisley Blimpson sounds like a cool name.

[-] some_guy 16 points 18 hours ago

Well goddamn, you're right. I'm amazed.

Ok.....forget Jessica Simpson. Let's Thanos snap her out of existence, and then Men in Black laserpen flashy thing everyone on earth to forget she ever existed. Everybody on the same page then? Ok, cool. Let's continue.

Ok.....

The name Blessica sucks.

[-] Rusty@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

I think It worked, I have no idea who Jessica Simpson is, is it Homer Simpson's sister or something?

[-] watson387@sopuli.xyz 126 points 1 day ago

Yeah I think the moral of this story is not to knock-up someone who likes the name Blessica.
