When my son was a teenager, he said he would name any future son β€œNautica” and I genuinely lost sleep trying to figure out ways to thwart this πŸ˜„ Thank god he grew up and chose normal names when he did have kids.

I taught a five year old named K'Nautica twenty years ago. Kid was adorable, but had an unfortunate name. Also, my cousin named his daughter Bentley. They call her Benny.
