30 Names I Will Probably Regret Giving My Children

HAFHA

A lot of us millennials have been against the idea of having children. We say we don't want to introduce a child into our problem-filled and crazy lives. Despite what we say, we eventually bring a child into this world and struggle to raise it with high morals and confidence. One of the first things a child learns is his or her name. How are they supposed to be raised with confidence if they are teased or talked about because of this name? For the children we do bring into this bright world, naming them should be the least stressful thing we do. Here is a list of thirty names I have personally encountered and chosen to make this process a little less stressful.

The following names are just out of date...

1. Gertrude

2. Bita

3. Willard

4. Evelyn

5. Hamlet

And you probably shouldn't name your child after alcohol...

6. Tequila

7. Chardonnay

Or a surname...

8. Mister

Most of the names that make up this list are those that will be teased by what they sound like or the common nicknames made for them...

9. Gaye/Gayle

10. Moysten

11. Mort

12. Shiwanah

14. Richard

15. Adolfo

16. Harry

17. Rusty

18. Misty

19. Ahmiricle

20. Ikea

21. Younique

22. Dreshawn

23. Maximum

24. Rambo

25. Monica

26. Anass

27. Fartika

28. Marquese

29. Angel

30. Destiny

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
