I'm Sorry, WHAT? | Reading Reddit Stories

Dude. That Hamilton story. The relief I felt knowing she still has the tickets. My heart was RACING.

All bullying and problems with other people aside, poor 5 year old kindergartner Ghiuliyette is gonna have to try to spell that on all of her papers for school.

Here's the thing about the first story. Ghiuliyette isn't gonna stay as a cute little baby forever. She's going to be an adult. The parent's obviously weren't thinking about that when they choose her name, whether they wanted to be quirky or not. That girl is going to get bullied for how her name is spelt, she's always going to have to correct people on how to pronounce her name and it might just make it harder for her to get a job with a name spelt like that. Sometimes parents need to know that the name they choose is gonna have negative consequences. I saw a reddit post just the other day about the OP's little sister naming their new born daughter Harlot so she could have the nickname Lottie. The little sister didn't want to name her child Charlotte after their grandmother, but wanted her daughter to have the same nickname as a way to honour their grandmother. And she choose that. OP told little sister that it was a bad name, apparently Op's sister even searched up the meaning and basically just said "No one's gonna know." and then got mad at OP for not warning her about the name after OP's sister announced her new born's name on social media and got backlash. All I'm saying is name's do have consequences and parents need to name their child with them growing into an adult in mind. Ghiuliyette is not a name for an adult. That's a garbage name and OP's friend needs to realise that and change her daughter's name before it affects her child.

I feel like with the first name, there’s so many chances for her to be potentially refused license, passport, travel will be difficult, her card could get snapped when trying to go out for drinks because it looks so fake. It isn’t even spelled phonetically. It looks like a child trying to make themself look more adult by being more complicated than necessary.

There's a difference between a name that's unique because it's not western or english and a common english name being spelt with purposely butchered spelling as a way to feel special. It's about context. It's a weird almost red flag to give your kid a name that's ridiculous on purpose with no care for the child's feelings. It's not the same as a traditional/foreign name.

For the first story, there's a difference between cultural/"ethnic" names, stylistic choices in spelling, and whatever is going on with "Ghiuliyette." Arasha and Amanda are absolutely right about uncommon/cultural names. Those names have meanings and should absolutely be respected. Stylistic choices should also be respected, such as spelling variations (e.g. "Shane" vs "Shayne" or "Sarah" vs "Sara"). The difference between the examples I gave and "Ghiuliyette" vs "Juliet" is that Shayne and Sara are still very obviously Shane and Sarah. "Ghiuliyette" isn't even phenetic. It's just a pain in the ass.

I think the most underrated part of this show is being able to hear the crew absolutely lose it sometimes. It truly brings me joy to hear them having fun.

I salute the Hamilton Tickets lady for not committing murder. Breaking up is the kindest reaction I could think of.

I don't think Arasha understands the difference between a name being "difficult" because it's a cultural name and parents choosing to make the kids 'unique.' It doesnt carry the same validity there..parents cannot do whatever they want to just because it is their child.. that not correct 😂

I think Arasha's closing argument in the first story is completely valid and I agree with in isolation, but it has nothing to do with parents making their child's name super difficult to spell for no reason, this isn't a cultural name, it's just a weirdly spelled name for the sake of being different.

I had a classmate called Princess Diana Elizabeth, those are three names and her parents chose that. She changed her name as soon as she legally could

the hamilton story is crazy. i cant believe they thought getting a 17 year old tickets to a show is going to fix her and make her happy. she's 17. every 17 year old hates themselves and their life and pretty much everything. she has her whole entire life to see her favorite shows on broadway, OP's mom doesn't.

Now imagine y'all's names were spelt AUGHRAUGHSHUGH, AUMENNDUH and CHXAIYGNE 💀

I think people forget when it comes to naming a child, you’re not just naming your child or a baby, you are naming a HUMAN BEING. A human who is gonna have to go through their life, live their own experiences, have their own personality separate for their parents. They are not just your child, they are HUMANS. And, yeah, maybe the kid’s life isn’t gonna be “ruined” by having a ridiculous spelt name, but it’s definitely an added annoyance to their life just so their parents can feel unique

I'm so glad that everyone else can see how ridiculous they were being with the first story. How could they not even understand where that person is coming from, even remotely. It's almost like it's engagement bait.

this felt like a sleepover with my cousins. it started out fairly serious and everyone is talking shit, and just devolves into uncontrollable 3am giggles. amazing.

my favorite shakespeare play, Rhomaeyoh and Ghiuliyette

"Do not tell them how to raise their children" assumes that parents always know how to best care for a child; as a teacher I've had to file enough abuse or negligence reports with CPS to know that's certainly not true.

We need the full uncut version of them cracking jokes and laughing about the “I paid my wife for sex” story. Watching anyone from this channel push a joke incessantly until they all break is the best thing ever

The AUDACITY in the Hamilton story BY GOD.
