- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Depends on how far y’all’s Trump derangement syndrome goes. Don’t tell me you’re actually considering taking it out on kids named Donald
I wouldn't say anyone would take it out on them. But I can imagine growing up and hating your own name. I sympathize because I hate my first and middle name equally.
I can understand Nuke, but what do you have against The?
It’s got no Russian translation
Well, we found the Donald Hitler.
Why do you hate your first name?
It's just an ugly name, too ethnic for my liking too. Nobody ever pronounces it properly, or I'm constantly correcting or spelling out my name. It's a pain in the ass. My middle name has the exact same issue.
I just wish I had a neutral and easy name if not a cool one. I made it a point to give my kid a good name because of it. I was named after parent's relatives who I never knew. I just hate my name.
Bullies absolutely will.
