Have you ever been teased or bullied over your first or last name?

Question

Yes I have for my first name quite a lot in school. And my brother would get teased for our last name.

Not really teased, but was given my nickname because of it (which is part of my user name actually, Easy Breezy). My name is Brianna, but go by Bri. It tends to go well with a few other words that start with Be.

Another one I hear when I do something silly/dumb is Un-Bri-lievable. That's the closest I get to being teased I suppose.

I wouldn't say I'm teased, but people try pairing my first name with other words to make a rhyme. My siblings all have different nicknames for me. Fortunately, my last name is common.

There was a period in my early teens when I was extremely clumsy. My nick name was "Skillful".

Well I have a common first name. It's Nicole. And my last name is kinda common too, but I'm not going to share it here. So no, I've never been bullied for my name :P

NathanDavis · Answer

neither... mine are quite common but one of the surnames has a spelling that most people might get wrong, and that was a legal nightmare for years, lmfao

Tarifa · Answer

My first name is plain and short, very common. My last name could be interpreted in a different context as something completely different. Maybe once at school.

Yes, my last name. This is especially true on a certain day of the year. You will have to guess the rest.

@cherrylove007 yes  but you must tell me what you were thinking about when you said that it was awkward. Try not to read anything more into my question then what you see, please 🙏

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Yes, most of my school life. Not so much because of the name but using in part of their taunts. Because there's "qu" in it, they'd match it with queer.

There was a "Seinfeld" episode where Jerry was dating a lady named "Deloris"...

LC75LC71 · Answer

My first name. By myself! Almost beat my own ass once. My mother wanted to name me Bartholomew and the old man thought I wasn't from his seed for many years, so my Nana named me.. Well I can't tell.

Tomislav7 · Answer

I've been teased for my name only because im not seen as a equal by my peers. Its funny people will trash talk me but anytime were in a small group they get to know me and see that there's more to me than just being a unattractive faqqot

MaddieXH · Answer

I used to get mocked for my surname but not my first name

Anonymous · Answer

One guy in work sometimes calls be my surname and it annoys me

And he talks about me to others referring to be by my surname
And when I meet them they also call me by my surname. Like they pick it up from him.

It's tricky how to react

I don't want to overreact
