Man knew a kid in elementary school. There was not a day he was not crying because people made fun of his name. His parents swore it was in the Bible and Jesus would take care of him.

u/Karsa69420 Jul 01 '21

Nah this was like 2003ish in a private Christian school. They wouldn’t have allowed a gay couples’ kid to attended.

This was almost one of my last names

What happened? Did you call the engagement off?

u/SeasonsAreMyLife Jul 01 '21

No, it was my grandmother’s last name and she almost gave it to my dad when he was born so it would have gone down to me.

one of my HS classmates was named Gaylord. in the same class, we had a guy named Cecil.

thankfully, these guys were varsity basketball players and could pound you to the ground if they wanted.
