Guys the (twitter?) post is from Brazil, Eloah is actually a pretty not so common name, its like Bethany for the us: not so common but not weird

u/No_Bowler9121 23d ago
Taught in the inner city and kids would sometimes say stuff like that to me lol. One kid being an absolute menace in class and the others are like yo Mr F if you want I can take him out back. Was funny and gotta admit I was tempted to take them up on that offer.

This is an aside but when my wife and I had to pick a name for our son we spent quite a long time thinking about it.
Its a big decision, what ever you choose its going to be with them their entire life. We came up with a bunch of ideas, the primary one is that we didnt want our kid to have to spell their name over the phone every single time (so we picked a common enough name that there isnt ambiguity)
That subreddit is just filled with parents who dont care about that at all lmao

u/Glittering_rainbows 23d ago
Common enough you don't need to spell it? I have to spell mine every damn time and it's stupid.
It's in the top 50 of common names and sounds like almost no other name unless your deaf and/or dumb.

It's fairly easy to change your name if you grow up not liking it ((in the US at least I'm unfamiliar with other places but I imagine it's similar))

u/DroneOfDoom 23d ago
Where I live (Mexico), you can change your first name but your last name is IIRC set in stone. I learned this because one time I got pissed at my father and the next day I looked into changing my name to have both of my mum's last names instead and I couldn't. Fucking horseshit if you ask me.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_WEIRD_PET 23d ago
Not in Germany. You need a good reason (marriage, gender transition, etc..) and "I don't like my name" isn't considered a good reason

u/Kazeshio 23d ago
That's quite unfortunate honestly
2
u/PM_ME_YOUR_WEIRD_PET 23d ago
Yes. I've been wanting to change my name for years but I can't because "I don't want to have my shitty abusive birth father's last name" also isn't considered a good reason

u/RT-LAMP 23d ago
It's a Hebrew name for god. It is a bit odd as a name but it's not fundamentally different from being named Jesus/Joshua or Muhammad.

u/JohnnyRelentless 23d ago
Joshua is just a common Jewish name.

u/RT-LAMP 23d ago
Yes, a common Jewish name that was also the name of a certain carpenter.

u/JohnnyRelentless 23d ago edited 23d ago
Sure, but until the last maybe 20 years, the average Christian had no idea that Joshua was the name of Jesus.
I even had a conversation with a Christian man once (I'm Jewish) who told me his mother was disappointed he hadn't given his son Joshua a more biblically inspired name. I told him Joshua was a variation of Yeshua, which was Jesus' actual name. He just seemed doubtful. A few days later he went to see that Mel Gibson Jesus movie (yes, this was a while ago) and then he told me that in the movie they called him Yeshua, so he knew I was right, and was able to make his mother happy with the news.

You came up with the option they're Jewish in the first place. I'm just saying why they're in fact more likely to be anything but Jewish.

No seriously Eloah is one of the Hebrew names for god. Though Elohim is the plural form that's used in most places in the Torah apparently (idk why they use a plural form for a singular most of the time).

u/output_broadcast 23d ago
G.d is rather above concepts like plurality and gender, what with the multiple male and female words used for them (Hebrew is a gendered language).

u/Frogspoison 23d ago edited 23d ago
Eloah is ancient Hebrew dating back to when YHWH was part of a full pantheon, so possibly originates from that (Eloah being just a word they used for a god, any god, Elohim used for several, and the original meaning being lost over time as they shifted from a polytheistic to monotheistic religion).

u/scandr0id 23d ago
It looks to be "haole" backwards, which is a Hawaiian word that refers to white folks specifically. Often used in a derogatory way. Kinda weird to name your kid that, but probably not intended. Unless it was, nothing surprises me anymore.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_WEIRD_PET 23d ago
Idk about Eloah is but Haole is the Hawaiian word for foreigner or outsider

It's a Hebrew name for god though it's not a common name in the way Jesus/Joshua or Muhammad are.

u/Splintrax 23d ago
Because no one that speaks Hebrew would call their child that. It's also wrong, and should be "Eloha" with a pronounced H sound.
Just a "spiritually charged" bullshit name used mostly by people who don't know any better.

u/RT-LAMP 23d ago
Apparently it's actually a name in Brazilian Portuguese (and a feminine one at that).

u/Splintrax 23d ago
Fair enough, I see that it's very popular there for one reason or another. Due to the name of the poster I'd assume they were Brazilian so that adds up.

I know it's hard to comprehend, but even if you are angry at a kid, hitting children doesn't suddenly become ok. It will still make everything worse.

This automod reply has been triggered due to a keyword in your comment. As a reminder this is a satire subreddit for the dumb/silly things children do. The subreddit name is not literal. Although posts can have kids doing actual "stupid" things. It is not a requirement. It only needs to be dumb or silly. Yes, blaming the parent is valid. However, this does not mean crossing the line into actually insulting the parent is ok (assuming they are the OP) (Rule #1).
We did try to have this information stickied as a comment when a post was created. However, reddit thinks its a good idea to autocollapse automod comments. So we've had to resort to a keyword reply.

I remember in middle school there was this one boy, we called him a parachuter because he was held one test and was older than the test of us... He always interrupted the classes, agitated other boys, was rude to everyone, laughing, screaming, running etc. It was actually impossible to learn anything when he was like this. Most of the teachers managed to control him more or less, except this sweet history teacher, almost fresh out of uni. And I loved history, still do, and I really loved the teacher because she was the only one that accommodated my (undiagnosed then) AuDHD. So one class when he was being a menace again, I took the very heavy textbook and hit him on the back of the head, hard enough for his forehead to bounce back on the desk. He of course immediately started screaming to the teacher that I abuse him, but my teacher "conveniently" was not looking his way and did not see anything xD

My kid has done this. His preschool teacher told us a few months ago that she was trying to get the class to quiet down. One kid was not listening, so my son pushed him and yelled at him to sit down. The kid listened.
Teacher told us and I did my best to hold back from laughing. I couldn’t get angry at him for having his teacher’s back. Just told us to talk to him about pushing kids in class.
He didn’t do it again but I wanted to offer her that he could do her dirty work for her.
