Ok…forget Jessica Simpson. Let’s Thanos snap her out of existence, and then Men in Black laserpen flashy thing everyone on earth to forget she ever existed. Everybody on the same page then? Ok, cool. Let’s continue.
Ok…
The name Blessica sucks.
Yes. But also: Blessica Blimpson.
It’s a child not a vanity plate
Parenting is for the good of the kids, not the wants of the parents.
She won’t get made fun of for sounding like Jessica Simpson…no will care, they’ll be too busy making of “Blessica”
I refuse to believe this isn’t a shitpost
Edit: I need to start reading the communities stuff gets posted in
Hold strong to your beliefs.
I found the OP and their post got deleted, but the only comments she responded to were the supportive ones (maybe 1 or 2 out of dozens of “wtf is wrong with you” reactions).
The poster has a history dating back 2 years so I don’t think it’s a troll, or if it is it’s convincing. I just can’t believe anyone would actually want to name their kid fucking Blessica. Absolutely revolting name.
Eh, the kid could have worse, and it seems pretty fitting for the name’s origins.
If you think of children as blessings, and want to change an existing name a little – in this case, Jessica – it makes sense. The first recorded instance of Jessica is from Shakespeare, who could’ve changed the biblical Iesca (Jeska) to Jessica by mixing Jesse into it (or making Jesse into a woman’s name… or other potential origins like the word jess being turned into a name.) And you consider Bless to be a name (though rather unpopular), so it wouldn’t even be particularly odd for the name.
The kid could’ve been named “Anna” which also means blessing. She wanted to call her blessica because she was blessed to have her. Which yeah - just go with Anna
Are you arguing that variants of names meaning blessing shouldn’t exist, or are you just against a new name? Because every name was new at one point, and lots of new names are variants of older ones.
“Blessica” is a stupid name and naming someone that for those reasons is wrong. The husband is right. You don’t give kids quirky names, especially with a shitty surname already.
How is it a stupid name? Are rarer names stupid? It’s just a name, if a very uncommon one, and it’s not even particularly hard to spell or pronounce, nor is it without thought. Combination names can sometimes produce odd results, so this one feels fairly mild.
It’s not rarer, it’s unique. And just because something is unique, doesn’t mean it is good. You don’t think about yourself when naming a child. You think about the child. That’s why all of this is bullshit. If you want your kid to change their name / use their middle name, then go ahead - be selfish and go with “blessica”. I can already see five different ways the name can be twisted, and believe me, other kids will find fifty more.
I know multiple people with “unique” names or surnames. Some are in the process of changing them - start using a new surname, to later make it official in their papers. The kid won’t be unique or looked at favourably because they have a unique name either.
By that logic, forcing any name on a child is selfish, so they should pick their own name, since they are the ones that would have it. Although, in that case, temporary names would probably be a thing, so I don’t really see the issue (or you could use other cultural naming conventions like that, but that is one that exists.)
Unless your argument is nonconformity is selfish? I personally think some people will find a reason to make fun of another person, but nominative determination does have its appeal if you don’t believe that.
All names were unique at some point, but that’s a moot point. Eventually they will either become more popular or less popular.
Anyways then you and your entire family and social group die in the same event, like a volcano burying your village.
No fucking way. This is rage bait. Even if this dogshit name was truly her most cherished wish, there’s no chance you willingly take someone’s name and then go on and complain about your actions.
Fake.
yup, I’ll take “Things that didn’t happen” for $500, Alex.
Wow, what a blursed name.
Why not Blumpkin
Blumpkin Blimpson is an amazing name
Sounds like one of Santa’s elves.
I might actual get mines legally changed.
Damn. Beautiful!
That poor child will be bullied so hard. Its not like Jessica Simpson evaporated into fkin smoke. Lost to the ashes of time. The internet exists.
I think that kid (probably fictitious) would get bullied regardless, Blimpson is an extremely unfortunate last name. To the best of my memory, Jessica Simpson was never that cringe, it’s less of a problem… or it would be if Blessica wasn’t an awful name.
Yeah she was kind of known as not being very smart but otherwise she’s been relatively un-scandalous afaik.
What a Tragedieh
Blisa
Maybe the Simpsons will still be on air…
Blarge
Blaggie
Blart
Blomer.
Blanta’s Blittle Blelper
Blandpa
They’ll probably convert The Simpsons to be entirely AI-generated soon so that it can stay on the air forever. The quality will probably go up, too.
Popular media is the worst place to find a name for your kid. Remember all the parents who named their daughters “Danerys,” before she went insane in Season 8 and burned an entire city full of innocent people alive? I wonder how they feel about that choice now. That poor kid is doomed. You might as well give her a stripper name
“kaleesi”
Her backup name is Michelle Lynn.
I just realized I dated someone with that name as her first and middle name.
Kicking myself that I never realized this obvious joke.
I feel like I wouldn’t even blame the other kids for bullying me if my name was Blessica
