I just heard a news story about a woman, Traci Redford, whose daughter's name, Abcde (pronounced as 'ab-city') was ridiculed by a Southwest Airlines agent.

I remember a story years ago about a woman who had named her little girl Chlamydia. That too, caused a stir.

I want to be understanding by weighing the mothers' desire to have different and creative names for their daughters but I can not help wondering about the lifetime of potential ridicule that these children may bear.
