Mom’s List of Rejected Baby Names Gets Roasted by Twitter
Those of us with less remarkable monikers probably don’t stop to think about it, but the name we get given is a lucky dip of how ‘creative’ our parents were feeling when we were born. Plenty of people had near misses with names that may have led to a lot more playground bullying, but others …

Let’s get this straight: we all have the right to be cringe. It’s a free country, as they say, and this instinct is basically baked into our DNA. What is not acceptable is when we are cringeworthy at the expense of others, which is unfortunately what happens a lot of the time. Either way, cringe …
