    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

    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.

      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.

        Isn’t that something from greek mythology? I swear there’s something like that in greek mythology…

          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.

            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.

              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.

      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.

        Yo straight people are the ones having waaay more kids and they’re still naming plenty of them with non-stupid names. Let’s focus the hate where it belongs: people who try to create personalities for themselves by using their child as a proxy for their unfulfilled hopes and dreams.

    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.

    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.

      Winner winner chicken dinner.

      Projecting your views onto your kid only ends up with them resenting you and you feeling like they can’t meet expectations.

      Some things are non-negotiable: my kids aren’t allowed to be disrespectful shit-bagels, but other than that they get to decide who they want to be. I am fortunate enough to get to discover that with them.
